  The Spirit of SLCC: Draxtor Despres’ All-Seeing Eye Second Life | (1)

  Draxtor Despres, machinima and videographer extraordinaire has a video from SLCC that pretty stunningly captures the feel of being there - no workshop footage, no keynotes, just a bunch of little clips of the people who were there. He even captured THE event of the conference - which was Eshi shopping for shoes. OK - so for those of you who have no idea what the above means, move along, we'll be back later.

  Philip Rosedale and Mark Kingdon discussed their visions for Second Life at the Community Convention in San Francisco, and while two sides of the same coin perhaps, they looked forward across vastly different time horizons and with, perhaps, diametrically opposed messages.
