It is an interesting concept, and one I can not quite wrap my mind fully around. It is based on the same precepts as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_Wager">Pascal's Wager</a> regarding religion and God. What's interesting, is that many who believe AIs will become "godlike" have this Roko concept and those regarding a Christian God have the Pascal concept. It seems that if we can not "prove something", then in the end perhaps it is best to believe in it just in case. I guess humans just like to have their cake and eat it too. Along with those concepts, another concept is the concept the UNiverse is made of math - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-universe-made-of-math-excerpt/ - again something my mind just does not want to fully dive into. So, what is the universe and where is it going? Phew, my brain hurts, I think I am going to go watch something non-thinky like The Simpsons (I am so smart, S-M-R-T) http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/your-best-creative-time-not-when-you-think/<br />

IN addition to visiting family in Arizona and still looking for Ms. right (no luck yet, maybe she will find me first), I have been working on projects, ARGs (alternate reality games) and more.<br />
<br />
Let's see - Niantic Project/Ingress still going - almost two years of the WotD and got to go and help out with some awesome events in Washington DC, Portland OR (Must visit that city again) and more. Niantic Labs is striking out <a href="http://fortune.com/2015/08/13/googles-niantic-labs-spins-off/">on its own</a> - interested to see what happens. And I still am keeping the <a href="http://devrabogdanovich.blogspot.com/">Devra Bogdanovich blog</a> going, although sporadically.<br />
<br />
I had a blast at GenCon and presented my<a href="http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=SEM&Title=What+is+an+ARG%3F+Stepping+into+Alternate+Reality+Games"> first talk about ARGs</a> - it was awesome!!! Here is a little image I made.<br />

Will try to get back into habit of typing out thoughts a bit more here, if nothing else to act as a sounding board and collecting point for wonderful ideas : )<br />
<br />
viva la 2013docwho2100http://www.blogger.com/profile/01140886462046343886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10684940.post-47787678027284762432012-11-30T20:41:00.000-05:002012-11-30T20:51:10.318-05:00More on Niantic Project ARG/NarrativeWell, the google Niantic Project is going strong and seems to have more coming. A lot has happened just in this last month of full on launch. There was a massive shift in the ARG about half way into the month when Google released Ingress - <a href="http://www.ingress.com/">www.ingress.com</a> it made a huge split and created a new wave of "players" many of these however were not interested in the ARG or backstory (some in chat have said that very thing) but just the Ingress video game app - it was fascinating to watch the IRC channel change from the puzzle solving and chatting to the new audience of gamers - there was such a difference... it was, odd and a definite people watching moment to see the shifts and changes.<br />
<br />
It looks like this project has no signs of stopping, a second month timeline at <a href="http://www.nianticproject.com/">www.nianticproject.com</a> looks to be starting tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Plus in this article - <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20121115/google-launches-ingress-a-worldwide-mobile-alternate-reality-game/">http://allthingsd.com/20121115/google-launches-ingress-a-worldwide-mobile-alternate-reality-game/</a> J. Hanke, the head of Niantic Labs - the department seeming to be behind this, or at least the PR face for this, mentions a long event.<br />
<br />
I wanted to continue my community and fan based thread and thoughts and, i will get to that, but WOW a number of communities appeared overnight with the advent of the Ingress video game app element - there are dozens of groups. Also, as the IRC and ARG puzzle solvers were overrun by the Ingress gamers, more wikis and google docs and other outlets have appeared, these are more one or two people, but are attempting to continue the puzzle solving.<br />
<br />
There is so much going on with this project and event, people have been making art and similar by the 100s and 1000s to try and get invite codes to the Ingress game, have to admit, getting people to do something for the invites and especially creative art and similar is awesome. Also, google is collecting a buttload of map data as people are taking pictures of local art, murals, science places and similar to try and get portals made. plus, they send in a map error when a portal is located wrong - what a way to do free data collection...<br />
<br />
And I could go on, I need to, there is a lot to talk about and point out, but I am off to try and hack a portal.<br />
<br />
Oh, for the record, for now, I joined the Enlightened side, even if it seems like the Shapers are not so nice.... ;)docwho2100http://www.blogger.com/profile/01140886462046343886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10684940.post-84509462878488011162012-11-14T21:31:00.003-05:002012-11-17T20:36:41.663-05:00Niantic project - community and info sourcesAs mentioned, have been following this ARG or more that somehow is Google related and who knows what else. One item that has come up is how all these different people and communities have sprung up working to solve the codes and puzzles and brainstorm. Making for a fierce collective. Some of the in game characters have even been referencing some of the collections and IRC chats and so on). In fact, something the one character said got me to thinking. There are so many communities that have been springing up. Some more active and "fast" than others. It is neat watching the different communities and how they are structured, their pace and so on.<br />
<br />
That said, it also made me think how if we all tried to stream to the one IRC chat or the one wiki - would that be a case of putting all our eggs in one basket? What is someone hacks the main wiki or something goes wrong with the IRC? Is all our data and knowledge and solutions lost? Backups, mirrors, and archives are important, especially in this day and age as I fear we are losing so much history as it is all digital (look at how many websites and content from the late 90s and early 2000s websites still exist....)<br />
<br />
Plus, the groups are at different levels, so in one you might be frustrated as you never get a chance to solve anything. In fact, that is something important in a "game", the ability to solve and progress. if you get frustrated because everyone else is faster than you, or you are not able to solve things, you tend to tune off, or miss much of the game because you are tuning in and out. Yes, I tend to like to watch the story unfold, but there is a piece of me that likes to help and be involved.<br />
<br />
I've tended to be best at the FieldTrip App and map stuff as well as chatting with the characters through g+ and that type of activity in this adventure. Cyphers and codes and puzzles and I do not get along. I like the chatting about theories, events and research as well as cataloging. I am an archiver and a librarian at heart.<br />
<br />
So, for today, I am archiving all the different places I can find people are discussing this. If I have missed a spot, please let me know.<br />
<br />
last updated 11/17/12 - adding Ingress links as well - seems the game has exploded ;)<br />

A downside to any bigger ARG or project is how so many conversations spring up in multiple places. A good side though, is you can pick a group and work through the "game" with the group and thus have an unique experience.<br />

Have been using the wiki part off and on for years (I remember PB wiki - do you?) and also had been using Basecamp as the manager system for another project. So, seeing if the PB Works will work as well as starting the conversion process of World of Depleted Wikia to PB Works. <br />
<br />
A lot of wiki work is very tedious and repetitive and yet in some ways can be soothing, a very odd mix.<br />
<br />
I am also using mediawiki with the semantic wiki addon - I have only begun to scratch the surface. And yet - I feel wikis and similar archiving systems and projects are crucial as this article (<a href="http://gigaom.com/2012/09/19/the-disappearing-web-information-decay-is-eating-away-our-history/">http://gigaom.com/2012/09/19/the-disappearing-web-information-decay-is-eating-away-our-history/</a>) points out (thanks to Lance Weiler via twitter for the link)<br />
<br />
That is scary, to be a culture with no history.... those that have no history are doomed to repeat it.....docwho2100http://www.blogger.com/profile/01140886462046343886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10684940.post-26316239451310604782012-09-18T20:01:00.000-04:002012-09-19T16:24:56.668-04:00Supporting a great creator (Nancylee Myatt)<br />
If you follow along with my tinkering in fanfic, you may have noticed I tend to write a bit of Nikki and Nora fanfic as well as Cowgirl Up. Both series were created and written by Nancylee Myatt. IN addition to those great series, she's done a lot more (3Way, South of Nowhere, Night Court, Living Single, 5 Mrs Buchanans and even more).<br />
<br />
If you follow her on twitter (@ishakeitup) or other social media venues, you may have noticed mentions of the passing of her mother and her sister. Times these days are hard, losing family members makes it all that much harder. Allaine (Femslash4Fans) had mentioned in one of our discussions how he wished there was something we, Nancylee's fans, could do. In reaching out to Ms. Myatt, Allaine found out that her family had set up a fund. Below is the information. I've had experiences with hospice myself (my mother and others), and I know how important it is to make the time you have with your family and loved ones as comfortable as possible. Sometimes it is the little things that matter the most.<br />
<br />
We support Ms. Myatt's work and creative spirit by watching and enjoying her creations; here's another way to say thanks.<br />
<br />
PS - Please help out by copying and pasting the info below to help spread the word.<br />
<br />
<em style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Nancylee Myatt, best known for creating "Nikki and Nora" and "Cowgirl Up!" and for her work on "South of Nowhere", recently suffered a double loss when both her mother and her only sister died of cancer, less than one month apart. Nancylee has said that "in lieu of flowers", she asks that people make a donation to the hospice where her mother passed away. We all know how much Nancylee has given of herself to the fans, and how she is loved and respected in turn. So we thought many of you would be eager to show her your support in this difficult time, by helping ease the final days of others suffering from terminal illnesses. You can either make an online donation or send a check by mail.</em><br />

<br />
Also, I could break it into separate stories, but not sure on that yet, so, keeping it as one long record.
As to the content of the Storify story, YEEEHAWWW even if it is just a tease, it is a nice one ;) and it helps fuel the fire for N&N stories, which I just posted up the last chapter for my current N&N story over at the Nikki and Nora BB<br />
<br />
Also working on two other N&N stories, one with 1shinyboat and 1 with pbwr - plus I have the next N&N in my series I am outlining now....<br />
<br />
so, all this N&N talk just makes it fun ;)<br />
<br />
and ohhh Cowgirl up 2 coming soon too - wheeeee<br />
<br />
thank you TelloFilms and thank you Ms. Myatt<br />
