Dimensino an ongoing webscrapbook series begun in 2020.
This series explores the development of the Crypto / Web3 ecosystem and it relationship to the coming ‘Metaverse’.
Dimensino is a parallel thinking track to my ongoing professional participation in the emerging discipline of World Running.
It is important to think in public. Some ideas and threads will be developed elsewhere. Others may be cut and left as frayed ideas at the edge of my thinking. Some posts are essays, others commentary, or just quick notes.
Dimensino is about about ‘hard’ things: AR/VR, Identity, Corporations, Brands, Intellectual Property, AI, Interdependence, Web3, gear V-Tubers use, 3D Printing, DAOs. it is about the protocols running on the machines we will build new worlds and run them on.
