Via Smartmobs, here’s another event taking place within SecondLife, a 3D virtual world. This is the part I love: “Visitors will be able to listen to audio and video, attend live mixed reality events …”

Now my head is hurting - damn, a new phrase I’ve got to learn to avoid: Mixed Reality Events.

There, I said it again. See, the harder I try, the worse it hurts. Even to try to forget is to get sucked into a mixed reality event. Where’s the Advil when you need it?

Let’s just call this a What The Bleep incident. This must have something to do with quantum physics, which both fries and un-fries my unworthy brain at the same time. Where does “live mixed reality” begin or end? Howard Rheingold, can you help? I think live mixed reality used to hang on the wall somewhere in Plato’s cave.
