Gareth sez, "The 1st Second Life Community Convention will be held in NYC, at the same time as the State of Play conference. Targeted towards "community building" (and not the usual rambling of the fandom), it will feature something unique: the convention will be held at the same time in "real life" (at the NY Law School) and in the virtual world of Second Life, with two-way video communication between both sites. Videoconferencing has long since been a presence in many conferences and user groups. But this is the first convention that will feature videoconferencing between a virtual world and the real one. Participants in either will be able to watch and talk with participants in the other. It may be interesting to watch - either physically or virtually."

(Thanks, Gareth!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
