Newly in StreamYard this morning, I created a WUaS Update (since Google Hangouts closed on August 2, 2019). 3 of us (Peter, Fritz and Scott) had met for 2 hours newly in Google Meet before this, but WUaS can't record to Youtube from this, while StreamYard allows recording to Youtube ...

Experimenting, also recorded the bagpipe tune "My Home" on a D chanter here.

Dear Tarun, and Jim,

I'm writing to invite you cordially to a Garden Party on Saturday afternoon August 10th around 5 pm on my porch in Canyon in honor of summer - and we'll have a little baby-welcoming in celebration of Naoki Fujinaga, friends' Koh and Ants' recent beautiful child, as well! Potluck. We’ll have tea and veggies - hopefully from my garden in a box (which the deer got to not too long ago :0 )! Please come and partake in some yummies. And friends may bring their musical instruments .... have invited too some Scottish Country Dance musicians ... who may bring pink and blue Scottish Country Dance sheet music books ... perhaps some of us can explore playing some of these tunes slowly and creatively and in an improvisational way even! Dancing allowed... if we find our way to music-making! )

Tarun, Jim mentioned your visiting the Bay Area, so I'm writing to invite you to this especially. Canyon California 94516 is very beautiful and interesting too!

When using Google Maps for directions, copy and paste "Ridgecrest Road and Redwood Highway, Canyon, 94516" which I just found this address in Google Maps ... https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ridgecrest+%26+Redwood+Hwy,+Canyon,+CA+94516/@37.8328699,-122.164702,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f881297fc8633:0x5989dabaac0c7fdd!8m2!3d37.8328699!4d-122.162508 ... and park just beyond this intersection in what looks like a "trail head" parking area. I live directly behind the U-shaped shed-like structure behind you (from the parking area) at a U in the Ridgecrest Road too, and where it becomes gravelly. And since Canyon's roads are very very WINDY, and have had a number of house and road numbering systems, please allow me or someone too to meet you at the Canyon Post Office 94516 and guide you up 6/10s of a mile to where I live on the ridge (since getting here the first time can be a challenge), if you would like. Please just let me know.

It would be great to meet you, Tarun. (World Univ & Sch is seeking to facilitate a realistic virtual earth for everything - think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth with avatar bots and TensorFlow and Translate + and we might have much to talk about with regard to your amazing https://worldaroundmeapp.com/).

Looking forward to meeting and seeing you, Tarun, and Jim (with a 33% probability)!

Tarun, World University and School will offer free-to-students' online accrediting degrees emerging from CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare (ocw.mit.edu - where Jim studied as an undergraduate) in its 5 languages, and is also planning to create wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,111 known living languages, emerging from Wikipedia / Wikidata in its ~300 languages. A realistic virtual earth for everything, and at the cellular and atomic levels too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth and potentially re World Around Me ...
"Just WAM it!" to discover places on camera intuitively on World Around Me app

https://youtu.be/K8YNbs996bI
(looking forward to talking about these possibilities) - for STEM research and as VR classrooms, will allow scientists and professors to add their simulations and research, and endusers and students to check out these places, and allow WUaS to create VR classrooms in all ~200 countries (where WUaS is planning major online universities in these nation states' main languages) and wiki schools in all 7111 languages with avatar bots as well, plus much more.

Glad you're coming to the Garden Party in Canyon 94516 on Saturday.

Cheers, Scott

Tarun, and Jim, 
Interesting - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One_(film) ... Will check it out when I can. 
Am curious how World Around Me might 'annotate,' like in the videos on your web page re augmented reality, such a (Stanford) marine biology scene -

FYI, World Univ & Sch seeks to build out of 3 platforms, and all of WUaS's web sites are due for a major update, and for professionalization ... hopefully in conjunction with Google Education, which WUaS is in. The 3 platforms are
A) Google platform in general, and its Google Translate in ~100 languages and TensorFlow, and Google Street View / Earth,
B) CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages, and
C) in Wikidata / Wikibase's 300 languages and structured knowledge database, and eventually in all 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages. 
Can you figure out how to get into virtual Harbin Hot Springs (my actual-virtual ethnographic field site, and starting place for a realistic virtual earth for research) here in Street View~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (so we can soak from our bath tubs?) ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook  ~"walk" down the road 4 "miles" to middletown ca and "amble" around the streets there ~ http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/armeria-maritima-seasons-greetings-2018.html ~ Pegman in the lower left corner grows (a bit in the direction of buildable Second Life avatars, but realistic ones, eventually for tele-robotic surgery, and electronic medical records, fore example).
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, with Jim having a 33% probability of coming (I've been wondering about the math here:) to the Garden Party. 
Cheers, Scott
