I'm in Richmond now volunteering with YWAM Virginia.

It's pretty cool so far.  It's very Virginia'ish compared to YWAM Orlando. Homes are old and surrounded by ivy and oak trees.  The people I've met so far are a lot more low key than the crazy people I met in Orlando.  Tons of Brazilians here but there's a lot of them that aren't allowed to speak Portuguese because they are here to learn English.  They already got me fixing the website and trying to bring hope to their Windows 98 PC's.  I didn't convert anyone to Christ today but I did convert one guy to GMail.

Come visit me if you're in the Richmond area.  You'll probably find me at 1500 Carlisle Ave, Richmond VA or at a church that serves as the base.  Give me a call to figure out where I actually am.

Oh yeah ... a little good news, papers I needed from Brazil arrived yesterday.  That's all for now.  Come visit me if you're in the area or need an excuse to use frequent flyer miles. 

May God bless your life with peace and meaningful warfare...

Netsquared likes Village and I'm in LA now.

On March 13th, Village the Game received a great response from the NetSquared NetTuesday meeting in San Francisco. It's really encouraging to meet so many people who want to help Village succeed. Now I'm off to LA to work with buddies in "the industry" for creating some promo videos for Village the Game. Most recent epiphany I've had: Sharing the vision of Village is a lot more effective in a visual format rather than as a casual conversation at a bar. :) If you're in LA let me know. I'd love to catch up.

Physics Moment: how many zoom levels does the Universe require?

I made a quick table of reference lengths in meters to figure out if I ever made a data visualization tool for the entire universe, how many zoom levels would it have to support? One zoom level is one power of ten.  reference length power is there anything meaningful that's smaller than planck length? planck length 1.62E-35 meters nanometer 1.00E-09 meter 1.00E+00 kilometer 1.00E+03 light year 9.46E+15 meter diameter of known universe 4.40E+26 So the total zoom levels of the Entire Universe are: 61.00 61 zoom levels is way more than Farmville or Warcraft So 61 zoom levels. How do these zoom levels compare to the Big Data Explosion.   reference quantity of data bytes bit 1.25E-01 1 or 0 and that's it. byte 1.00E+00 base unit for most data types in programming languages kb 1.00E+03 Starting number for web optimized images and javascript libraries mb 1.00E+06 Starting number for a song gigabytes GB 1.00E+09 This is base unit of $10 USB sticks terab...
