a good week
The only thing that could make me feel better right now is more money, but we're working on that.

Bernhard Drax and I put out a new video for Dancing Ink Productions this week, and it was shown at the virtual worlds summit in NYC and at the Dancing Ink folks' induction as Carnegie Fellows.

I got to meet Larry Lessig, after about 12 years of following his work.  I made a comment after his speech and to my great astonishment I got applause for it.  He wants to come into SL and see Tuna's show.  I want him to see the piece Fish and I did for Annenburg (commissioned!  I've never been paid for a commissioned art piece before!) on Global Justice, since the piece made extensive use (and described the meaning/implications of its use) of creative commons attribution-only media.

And we have a business incubator interested in Bernhard, Fish and my production studio.

*And* America's Got Talent's casting director talked to us on the phone today and wants us to submit her an audition video Monday.

It's very cool. 

I was bummed earlier this week -- one year since the shellfish poisoning -- it was just about a year ago today that the doctor finally believed I had more than just some GI bug, and found out my liver was leaking enzymes into my bloodstream.  Everything isn't 100% of then, and may not be again, but a year ago I couldn't read, couldn't follow a TV program, couldn't sit up for long, couldn't recognize one object from another on the kitchen table.  Today, I'm making machinima, talking to investors, hobnobbing with legal rockstars, and getting applause for clever ideas.

So maybe life isn't so bad...
