Starship Sofacon in retrospect
So, that seemed to go all right on Sunday... Did anyone out there watch in real-time? How did it seem from your side?
Tony-your-Pilot will have links up to the files in a few weeks, which I will post when I get them.
My video reception cut out partway through, so I was looking at the home screen -- or mostly, at that little dot of a camera lens atop my home laptop screen -- for most of the last half, turning a video interview into an audio one from my POV. But they seemed to be seeing me all right, even if I couldn't see Amy or myself. It will take some experiment, I think, to figure out which way to look to give the best illusion of "talking to the viewer" in such efforts.
It put me in mind of, among other things, early television, when people were just first figuring out how to do it all. Besides my dad's early experiences (as the 2nd TV weatherman in the country after the one in Pittsburgh)I had watched a show on just that subject the other week from Netflix...

Interesting times.

I have confirmation from two attendees who weren't on the production end of things that you looked/sounded terrific, and that we both were visible the entire time (as well as the backdrop). I'm so pleased at how many attended and submitted questions! Thanks again for taking part.

It was great, seeing you and listening to the interview. I enjoyed hearing my question about names. I had fun!
I enjoyed it and it seemed a very cool thing. Thanks for doing it!
