Only 2 weeks left to download Wagner James Au‘s talk at Knock Knock, a conference about Technology challenging the future of media that took place on September 21 in Aarhus.

WJA is an in-world journalist (formerly known as “Hamlet Linden”) who travels the Second Life world as an avatar. He reports on the conferences and events organized in the game and interviews residents about their everyday life, business, passions inside the game. I interviewed him a few months ago.

The rest of the conference is available online as well.

Talking about Second Life/Linden Lab, its CEO Philip Rosedale gave a talk last week at the Picnic conference in Amsterdam. I was planning to write down my notes of his talk but Alice Taylor has done that job way faster and better than me. Her account of Rosedale’s talk is precise, accurate and well worth 10 minutes of your time.
