I'm not sure if this happened Monday or is happening on Friday (the date on the page says "Friday 26 June, 02006"), but if you're around in Northern California and are within easy-transit to Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, there's a discussion between musician Brian Eno and game designer Will Wright which should make for fascinating cogitation.
Will Wright, creator of the video games "Sim City," "The Sims," and the forthcoming "Spore," will speak (with Brian Eno) on playing with time.
Pleasingly vague.
It's part of the Seminars About Long-Term Thinking (SALT) series run by the Long Now Foundation, a forward-thinking institution which aims to generate a style of thinking which stretches beyond the immediate and into the future. Thus Long-Term.
Should be a truly enlightening event.
