How does this metaphor hold? More fun: how does it fall down?

Both metaverse and music support the overall story but they themselves are not the story.

In terms of not related...
music notes can be written and pieced together with 'relative' ease. Whereas the fabric of a metaverse requires a lot of work.

Does anyone else have a comparison?

Got bored of scaling screens and trying to get slow Android devices to work, so I released all the sound tracks from Caves of Steel as an album on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and a bunch of other music platforms.

If you've started following me from LinkedIn because of my post there, please do send a message to say "Hi, I'm <name>" - I will respond and we can start talking.

If you've not followed me from LinkedIn, the same applies.

Putting your name as <name> will not be funny because of this sentence.

Here's my deep dive into @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social with creator Lucas Martell. It feels long overdue considering how incredible this game is from the astonishing worldbuilding, realistic gameplay, and compelling social dynamics they've been able to cultivate.

I wrote an article documenting a week of trying to break into a Yubikey security key.

TL;DR - I didn't manage to break it, but found some interesting stuff.

Here's the group discussion that four winners of the Polys Ombudsperson of the year had about XR & AI Ethics, as well as general XR industry trends. I speak about how Meta is pinning their commitment to XR based upon the success or failure of Horizon Worlds at the end:

When we say "Metaverse" what we probably really mean, is this. So cool!

Knowledge comes from believing truths & avoiding falsehoods, but these are two separate algorithms that require a dialectical process. It's the core of the Socratic Method as expertly elaborated by @agcallard.bsky.social in her new book "Open Socrates." Our deep dive: voicesofvr.com/1518-the-soc...

I will have an interview about this film dropping around Sundance, and the online tickets have been opened up today and definitely recommend grabbing a ticket to the Docs Shorts program if you’re based in the US. Definitely worth catching if you can.
Next week is the premiere of @therealityofhope.co.uk at #Sundance 2025! Below is the screening schedule for the Documentary Short Program that we are thrilled to be a part of.

US audiences can watch online. Tickets here -

My 3d model viewer is taking shape! 🧊

Added a selector for lighting / unlit / wireframe
Also tried options to move the directional and toggle hard-edges. But I like the simplicity of only one dropdown

I'm curious to hear people's perspective on how different platforms can lower the barrier for users to cross across experiences. Is there value to have an intermediate hub to point users to one platform or another for experiences?

Any thoughts @openmetaverse.bsky.social ?
