Sooooooo, today was a very busy day. It only took an hour and a half, but those flew by. I have to say that he looked like we were talking his jive. I was really pleased how the meeting went, but most of all it's what we all took out of it. Let me lay down some history here. We've never done something this big before, and it was a little nerve racking (I'll admit) for us. Though, it went smoothly and could not have gone better. We know we have the deal, but now we're just concerned with the roll out-nothing more. It's the deal that could make or break us; but I ain't worried.
The thing I lacked in the past was confidence. There was never a time I could easily have said to myself, "Man, I would totally create a company and take over the world." I mean, hell, it's just little ol' me here from Sudbury, Ontario! "Who am I?" I would ask. Then along came Mike...but that's a story for another day (sorry kids)
So, Nyla's thinking of coming over again. I keep showing everyone I know her dresses! I'll even link her here, here, and here, there, again, and for later. Check her out! She's getting more and more publicity for her work in Second Life and were going nuts here for her. We totally love it when someone who puts that much effort (here look) into something they believe in, succeed! Especially Nyla.
Tomorrow we got a meeting with Royal Bank, so I get to look forward to that tomorrow.

Overcoming the Second Bubble
I'm finally up from a long downtime. It was bad, my hard drive was kinda slow, 3,200rpm slow or some bullshit like that. I wasn't to highly impressed, but I made due. I went out and got myself a new Western Digital SATA2 drive, 250GB, 3ms seek time, 300MB/s, 16MB Cache; so all-around it's an upgrade, or a quantum leap?
I'm watching this copybot thing, and I'm actually enjoying a similarity occurring on the Internet. Right now, there is a lawsuit pending against Google, for YouTube and it's very own video hosting service, Google Video. I skimmed across the article but I had a small chuckle when I read the line "...there is a problem discovering who owns what, and what video that may be..." because it's the same thing. The infinity of the Internet allows us to receive unlimited demand. People in Second Life need to start asking themselves if they are even going to be able to secure anything they do anymore? Sure, no-one can ever take away the fact that you made it, so build a business around that.
When I think of the other companies out there, in retrospect, they seem to bring the wrong value to Second Life. Take MillionsOfUs as an example, they brought the Scion into SL for Toyota, and now anyone can have a copy-for free! (sans scripts, sorry kids) In my honest opinion they should have given the cars away for free, and let the power of Toyota's name reflect on that. Then build services for car owners.
I can't believe I have two large profile meetings in the next two days. These are small by comparison of the large bursting that's begining. I'm excited, and ready for the ride. Are you?

Final Product!
Well, I arrived on Kingdom of Media and was looking around. It was quite awesome to see such a great Television series here in Second Life. I told them of my past experience with Second Life video, and reality shows and I was invited to build something. So after some discussion I created a tour balloon for them, and they want to follow up. I'm much-o excitied since I love Big Brother and all the reality shows Endemol puts out! Congrats guys, and welcome to Second Life™!

Word!
There's this weird thing that was happening, and it's happening to my buddy Mike as well. Every time we get to a point where I would, or he would in Mike's case, look at the clock at a significant time, and the numbers are just synergistic. 1:23pm - 4:44pm - 4:56am - 12:34am, etc. I wonder what it signifies or if it just a stroke of luck when it happens. I've decided that it's probably the fact that we only notice the times that are like that, more so then the times that are not. Either way, it's funny. I just got back from a 3 hour meeting, then we drove up to Cypress mountain here in Vancouver, saw Teapot for the first time in a while. He's getting a pool and hot tub installed with a view of the lower mainland.
