Virtual Worlds: popular with kids, Sibley Verbeck says http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/10/virtual_worlds_kids_are_flooding_in_adults_are_not.php I met with Electric Sheep Company CEO Sibley Verbeck (pictured) after his keynote at the Virtual Worlds Conference here in San Jose. Verbeck pointed to early successes of virtual worlds among kids (Club Penguin, Whyville, Habbo, Barbie...). "The kids virtual worlds market, so pre-teen, is really the first virtual worlds market that's become mass market and successful from a business point of view", he explained. Those virtual communities business model are mostly based on subscriptions (e.g. $6/month for Club Penguin that was acquired last August by Disney for $350M) and/or linked to buying a "real" toy that, in exchange, gives the kid access to the virtual world. "And it's working", said Verbeck. The ESC's founder also sees an uptake in popularity of virtual worlds for teens. Gaia Online is a popular one. "But we're still looking for the killer application for adults virtual worlds. And right now it's limited to early adopters", Verbeck added. According to Verbeck, there is currently little to see/do in a world like SecondLife. But the advent of "vertical" virtual worlds like the one ESC is building with CBS and the creators of the CSI franchise might well shake up the virtual world market for adults. Also, imagine when the kid and teen population reach adulthood... that's probably when you'll see a mass market adoption of virtual worlds... sort of Facebook meets SecondLife meets Hollywood. Already today, the "Virtual Worlds" have about 100 million souls and that could well double by next year based on various analysts reports or predictions, like the one from K Zero (pictured). Verbeck also sees virtual worlds as a powerful medium for advertising. "Because it doesn't look like ads. It's more of an experience. It's the same business model but more effective than the banners, etc. So you'd think the Yahoo and Google of the "real" world will be all over virtual worlds? But actually, it's not the case. I don't see Yahoo and Google is playing with some avatars in their IM (instant messenger) but not much else. I guess because it's so different from what they are used to. Now it's all start-ups!" On a seperate panel, Verbeck was very bullish in using virtual worlds to boost e-commerce: "I'd love to do a retail project. I think virtual worlds are going to be more successful for consumer shopping than the Web, but there are a lot of things that need to be done". http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/10/virtual_worlds_kids_are_flooding_in_adults_are_not.php Tags: electric sheep company uberpulse sibley verbeck |

I took a Helicopter to school today in Sibley, Iowa Teaching 8th Grade Science class students how helicopters work and fly was very interesting for me. I was asked to be a guest teacher for the day at Sibley High School, Sibley, Iowa. We all had fun and I believe there are RC modelers poised on the horizon.

Need Heat? Who you gonna call? Sibley Sheet Metal. Spending way too much to heat my garage n the winter (I live out there with my planes), I switched from $200 worth of LP a month, to about $60 of Gas a month to heat my garage. This is the installation of a gas line from the house, to the garage plus a Coleman down blowing energy efficient heater. All work was done by Rick and Lonnie from Sibley Sheet Metal, Sibley Iowa, USA 712-754-4118. Do I recommend them? Yes! That is why I did this video, as I was impressed with the thermal heat pump work they did for me. So if you need heat or cold, call 'em up and tell them Dave sent you. Thanks for watching.

Submarine Sinks in Sibley Pond with Rescue footage. This 25 year old Pond Exploration Submarine Sinks without being able to surface on 2 different occasions, requiring rescue missions by Jeff and I. This is a 25 year old Nikko Submarine, but buoyancy changed when the camera bag filled with water the first time. It takes a lot of delicate balancing to get the buoyancy just right. I tried to use the underwater sub-cam, but the ZipLok bag wasn't all the way closed, so my Aiptek Pocket Cam X was ruined. Hope you enjoyed this, though. Stay tuned for more fun from Mr. Herbert's Science class and thanks kindly for watching. Tags: Sibley Iowa Submarine Nikko Sinking Dave Herbert Mr. Herbert's Science class. |

Geo Thermal Heat pumps. Theory and operation from Sibley. Another from Mr. Herbert's Science class, using a practical, personal application as a lesson, we study the operation and repair of the Geo Thermal heat pump. Theory: Use coils under ground in your yard to cool and heat the freon in the Heat Exchanger, instead of the coils and fan that is usually parked outside your home in a big unit with a loud fan that is used to cool those coils with the hot air surrounding it. That is the old fashioned way and that is quite in-efficient, compared to Earth Cooling for free in Heat pumps. I hope this helps you understand the operation and why it works so well. Thanks for watching. Tags: Geo thermal heat pump command air conditioning Sibley Sheet metal Dave Herbert Lennox water heaters |

Sibley Verbeck - Electric Sheep The idea is basically to get people to answer these four little big questions: 1. What excites you about current metaverse technology? 2. What concerns you about current metaverse technology? 3. What will be most the surprising impact of metaverse technology on society within the next decade? 4. What barriers will metaverse technology never overcome? Our hope is to build a time capsule.

R/C heli Demo for Boy Scouts in Sibley, Iowa R/C Merit Badges are now a part of the BSA, so when asked to fly some demonstrations for the Sibley, Iowa Boy Scout Troop # 172, I couldn't pass up the chance to fly in the American Legion Hall and show the boys some of the latest in r/c technology. Here we introduced R/C to them and had lots of fun. Present was Bob Godfredson, the editor of the Local Newspaper. He is also a member of the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and also into R/C. The troop has openings for new members, so come on down and have some fun. Thanks for watching.
