Can’t believe it’s been 16 years since I organised the world’s first virtual web conference (it was called <head>, it took place over 3 days, had 4 simultaneous tracks, over 70 speakers, and local in-world conference hubs in London, Manchester, Brigthon, Fribourg, and San Francisco, as well as as pre-conference party and a separate virtual hub in Second Life).

  @dansup That’s so kind of you to say, Dan. I don’t know about wise, I’m just a person trying my best to unlearn the toxic patriarchy we’re raised in and, in my own small way, build tools for the kind of world where I wouldn’t have had the privileges I had (because we’d all have them and they wouldn’t be privileges).
  Similarly, though, your work is a huge inspiration and source of hope for me.
  Here’s to decentring ourselves and creating a fairer, kinder, and more equitable world for us all 💕

  @aral Very cool - I remember that!
  Now you've reminded me of the hybrid Cybermind Conference I ran in 1996! We used a MOO for the online interactive space (which was visible on a side screen at all times), and streamed everything from the main venue on RealAudio and CU-SeeMe!
