This is exciting. I was asked by our games group to participate in a virtual world demo with avatars for the upcoming Games Developer Conference. My co-worker, Jessica, and I were asked to record a casual three minute conversation in the Dolby studio. We ended up having a dialog about American Idol, the Oscars, and classic R&B hits from the eighties. We even sang a tune or two. I'm curious to see how the powers that be will use this material. Can you imagine an avatar version of me? In any case, Jessica and I had so much fun doing this that we decided to start up our own podcast talking about random stuff. Below is the first webisode.
