In case you wondered where I am: no worries, I’ll be fine. Set up camp in Austin Texas, just in time for SXSW 2022. It will be an in-person, hybrid, weird meta-oriented brain-blower. NFT’s a gogo. Virtual POP’s (Proof of Presence) around every corner. A friend of mine is officially sending his Avatar. I had to RSVP for a virtual party. I saw a mini-van in a maxi-store. Meta is the new Mega. I got a mail from Bruce Sterling.
I looked at this trailer. Then at my White Russian (sorry, White Caucasian that is), then again at the trailer. Ow boy, this is going to be an interesting week!
