I went over to Von Johins house 7/16/ about 4pm....We all set up ( me, Von, and Cypress Rose) soundchecked...then had pizza until Cypress's set began. I played maracas and guiro on Von Johins set, and then when I went on.......it's all a blur, but it was very fun, relaxed......like playing in a club. Von has a huge upstairs studio, and he was projecting the 2nd life action onto a flat screen , so we could see comments etc..
We all predict that, maybe even less than 10 years from now, it'll be full blown 3d holographic real-time interactive performances...Quantum computers running in parallel will have the muscle to do this.

All in all, it was great fun ! Von Johin and I go back a long way...he set up the 1st "online interactive interview and midi guitar lesson" with me in '92, on "Compuserve" (remember them ? ;-) using a 386 processor and a 2400 baud modem ! ;-) We've come a long way since then ...

Best,

Bob Welch

"What a great idea - to bring Gibson Guitars in-world and set up a few stages for performances! Bob" Welch is playing to a sim filled with 110 avatars, and the crowd is doing it’s thing in true SL style…offering feedback and chatting with the performers like you just can’t do in RL. Some nice Fleetwood Mac anecdotes are a-flowing…the guys clearly are having a great time."

pickensplan.pdf...not quite as radical as "zero-point" energy...but we NEED to do it too !

Countdown to the end of the fossil-fuel era...do we want it to end badly , with total collapse, or will it end well...with the "black projects "coming off their power and control trip ? Will somebody in "big media" have some balls...or will they contunue to bend over for their "minders" ? Will our culture continue to dumb down , with Maury Povitch, Jerry Springer , "reality tv" etc.... or will we wise up in time ? People , the information is out there , but is censored by what Steven Greer calls the "kleptocracy"...the oil , energy and military interests who do NOT want "zero point energy" to become available . IMO, there is nothing of more real importance than this question...but until about 200 million Americans think so too...it's hopeless....We MUST develop a peaceful world wide society that does not depend on the economics of scarcity....or perish, as a planet. BW What follows is an email I sent to Anderson Cooper (CNN) :

Would you dare to tackle the story of how "zero point"so called "free" energy has been hijacked by extra-governmental black ops programs for over 50 years ?How even James Woolsey (former Clinton CIA director) was briefed on these projects by Dr Steven Greer..and how Woolsey was angry that as a SITTING CIA chief he had not been "read-into" any of those projects?
Or will your NSA, NRO "minders" stop you.. Want to solve global warming and end world poverty ? Expose the free energy technology that certain rogue groups have held secret since the end of WWII ! Read , by Nick Cook, "The Hunt For Zero Point Energy". Go to the disclosureproject.org. Ask Bill Clinton about his briefing on this subject...and him saying , after having heard the truth ,that , "he didn't want to end up like Jack Kennedy".Will you publicize this ?

Will you risk being blackballed and even threatened to do this ?

Will you run the story of how William Colby, patriot and former CIA director was found floating in the Potomac River, at night , (with dinner on the table untouched) ONE WEEK before he had agreed to aid (publicly) the Disclosure Project ? How Bill's wife said it was very unlike him to go canoeing, at night, without even a life vest ? How , "Bill would never do that " she said ?

What about it Anderson ?

The AlwaysOn blog discusses the key takeaways from a day in the life of a guest Economics professor at the University of Michigan, Jason Mendelson. Despite a relatively small sample size (300 students) and an unknown level of socioeconomic diversity, the findings are quite interesting.

Highlights include: 298 of 300 use Facebook (showing how important social networking is to students), 20% of e-mail traffic is now inside Facebook (illustrating the risk to e-mail driven portals such as AOL, Yahoo and MSN), and 100% steal music with less than 20% admitting to paying for any amount of music legally (music must shift to a free ad-supported model, no matter how painful that transition is).

The other takeaway is that these students are not using Myspace, which clearly is not positive, however, its not clear they were using Myspace before. This finding is all the more surprising given that 2/3 of Facebook users also used Myspace last month (according to Comscore data).
