My life, according to Linda Stone
and I quote from Linda Stone's Wiki (actually her JotSpot Wiki, how chic)
...
To pay continuous partial attention is to pay partial attention -- CONTINUOUSLY. It is motivated by a desire to be a LIVE node on the network. Another way of saying this is that we want to connect and be connected. We want to effectively scan for opportunity and optimize for the best opportunities, activities, and contacts, in any given moment. To be busy, to be connected, is to be alive, to be recognized, and to matter.
We pay continuous partial attention in an effort NOT TO MISS ANYTHING. It is an always-on, anywhere, anytime, any place behavior that involves an artificial sense of constant crisis. We are always in high alert when we pay continuous partial attention. This artificial sense of constant crisis is more typical of continuous partial attention than it is of multi-tasking.
Watch out for the upcoming book on

My so called Second Life, circa Feb 2007
Here's a clip I never posted and so much has changed since.. This was the "new home + office I had just purchased in Aglaia island in Second Life, and I was chatting merrily with Angelo and my other account (?). The clip starts of with me looking for out first house, and the area has been so built up I cant seem to find it immediately. Then it on to the new land, where I built the Cloud House and the Blue Wave and Angelo is working on his Enthusiastic Ballerinas. This time we also had cute neighbors who liked them. Then one morning we woke up and found out that the land...

Goodbye Dubai
Scary Elevator Ride, Emirates Towers

Brazil Wrap Up
Sometimes I feel like a travel channel, all pretty pictures of weird places.. but I always take tons of photos, and not everything fits under categories etc etc, anyway here's some more things I liked over there
a weird water tower
the soft landscape at the end of Ipanema

Valentine Moreno having a transcendental moment
inside the Anish Kapoor humidity twister
random urban detail
the carnival storage from far away
housing
mega housing
the biggest squat in Sao Paolo
weird housing
the edge of the Atlantic Rainforest
the blue mirrors they seem to like so much
and I like even more
fantastical brutalist water tower
and stadium that looks like a Virilio Bunker in Rio
inside the Anish Kapoor humidity twister
