Zoolander Pose


Not quite.... I just got some new headshots done. This whole acting thing is a lot slower paced when you're not in school. I've revamped the website to make it obvious what I'm doing now, looking for acting gigs. Even church (http://www.mosaic.org) is slow right now for recruiting people onto the drama team.

I wonder how long it takes to get to the point where I can make absurd films like Zoolander and Starsky & Hutch with the same band of acting buddies over and over, having a blast, and making enough bank to fund whatever projects I want.

Speaking of projects, I've decided I'm going to try to save the world again... that's going to be my day job. Imagine SimCity for third world countries. Instead of building skyscrapers you're picking the smartest irrigation pumps, the best microcredit program, the best solar-powered refrigerators to install in your village. You watch your village flourish as you navigate all the demands of third world politics and economics. "SimVillage" except I can't call it that because it's already taken. Then imagine waking up one day and finding out somebody decided to bankroll your village and build it for real. The village you built in the game was so well done, your church decided to make it happen in real life partnering with World Hope, Google.org, and Ashoka to manage implementation. I'd definitely play the game. Hopefully a few million other people will too. =)

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...

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.
