Very nice to have seen and 'partied' with some of you yesterday evening at the Garden Party in Canyon. Bede McCormack (professor of linguistics with a focus on ESL in NYC) almost joined the party via video conferencing from NYC I'm glad to say (but was taking care of his father who has early Alzheimer's). The Garden Party video conference window was open from about 5-5:30 pm and anyone could have joined this gathering!

Some Scottish small piping, and music-making, happened. Thanks for bringing musical instruments. Was glad to welcome little 4 week old Naoki - welcome Naoki again! (For those interested in some of the information technology related questions we talked about, please see my email to new friends and technologists' Takeshi, Tarun, and Jim Spohrer below!)

Warm regards, Scott



Very nice to have met and talked with you, Takeshi and Tarun, yesterday evening. Thanks for coming to the Garden Party in Canyon. And thanks for the juice and chips as well.

Takeshi, Anne Kathrin Kroemer is the senior legal director at Rubrik whom I met at Stanford Law fairly recently - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-kathrin-kroemer/. Please say hi from me if you see her.

Would be interested to follow up about what role that something like 100-150 out of ~200 central banks could play re a single cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger in same countries, - and possibly distributed partly via Universal Basic Income experiments.

Here's MIT DCI director, Neha Narula's Twitter - https://twitter.com/neha - and her recent interesting interview with Peter McCormack - https://twitter.com/neha/status/1152270084477468672. And it's in this fascinating day long MIT "Symposium on Blockchain for Robotic Systems" (2018) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/rose-ringed-parakeet-stanford-annual.html - that Neha talks about the role, if I remember correctly, of some kind of regulation re blockchain/cryptocurrency - in the last hour or so. I blog daily and some about a single cryptocurrency back by some number of central banks.

World University and School's law schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (see below too) - would be interested in exploring how to possibly code for single cryptocurrency legally in all ~200 countries, and perhaps as a way to begin to grow significantly.

Rubrik as "back end" with Google - and planning for all 7.5 billion people on planet?

Very nice to meet you and more late.

Warm regards, Scott

Hi Tarun, (Takeshi and Jim),

Re distinguishing between 1) AR, 2) VR and 3) newly a realistic virtual earth ("theoretically") - ie re a SINGLE integrated realistic virtual universe (for STEM and everything) including WAM functionality - and by extension a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs, for ethnographic and STEM research too (conceptually in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER and at the cellular and atomic levels - and potentially with WAM! too!), do you know former IBM-er Aldis Sipolins' work:

Here's my attempt to solve the #XR taxonomy problem.
I'm a #GraphicDesign n00b, so any tips (composition, color, anything) are much appreciated!

(retweeted this here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch - again)

Just downloaded and installed "World Around Me" (WAM) App toy smartphone (which is an old Android Samsung Galaxy S3 phone) from the Google Play Store, and can't quite get it working yet. Did it download as "City Guide" icon on my smart phone?

Tarun, in what ways might World Univ & Sch explore collaborating with WAM, and even setting up WUaS offices in Lancaster, England, and Berlin, Germany, with you - and re developing this realistic virtual earth idea on WAM's Google-centric platform?

Cheers, Scott
