thanks to some kind donations, we were able to convert my grandmother's large diamond ring and my mother-in-law's ring with six small diamonds, into one mega-diamond-extravaganza engagement ring. my husband designed it himself, and got a jeweller to put it together. it was a very reasonably priced way to get some chunky ice on my finger, and all the relatives thought it was a lovely metaphor for the joining of two families.
we totally blocked off to the entrance to the xbox stand [and it was a big, wide, glowing green entry too.] you should have seen all the microsoft guys trying to swish us away:)
it was definitely one of the best games at the show.
i was teaching basic internet classes to chinese kids on the mainland in '99. on the day of the 10th anniversary of tiannamen square, a really simple block was arranged to prevent online information access. we were met by a line of guys standing in front of the computer lab who, without any explanation, stopped us from entering the building. i heard some of the net cafes around town were closed too. the kids were pretty cool about it. "it's for political reasons", they told me in their sweet, reasonable fashion. we went and did something else that day.
yes its true, i have family friends at the southern tip of tasmania [aust.] who talk about the lights. i've seen their photos too, but i don't think they're online kinda people so they won't be appearing anywhere soon.
Georgia Institute of Technology were running tests for a similar project at SIGGRAPH last year in LA. It involved a VR headset, finger electrodes and a thing they wrapped around your chest. The more relaxed you were, the faster the sun set.
They gave you a printout of your galvanic skin response and respiration afterwards. I loved it 'cos my sun set faster than my husband's, and he usually wins the video games. Competitive relaxation rules!
