So you can’t attend that interesting conference in person? You know, the one with all the interesting speakers and topics relevant to your work and study? It is a little expensive–$425. Why not attend via Second Life? You’ve had decent virtual experiences attending events in SL before (a few put on by MIT). Oh wait, you can’t just beam your avatar to the conference space? No. First, fork over $225. Or, view the webcast–also only $225. Way to go, Center for Intellectual Property Symposium. Way to use those innovative new technologies to foster increased participation and access.

Kaitlin asked me to come out to Washington D.C. to help out for the Cyberinfrastructure conference this year. The theme was “Cyberinfrastructure, Innovation, and University Policy.” While the conference was much smaller than last year, there were definitely interesting discussions the entire day.
