I really enjoyed getting out of the Web 2.0 world and talking with an architect in San Francisco who has built a new company, CleverHomes, to build new kinds of homes. He’s trying to build “green Legos for adults.”
Thanks to Jeremiah Owyang for introducing me to CleverHomes and running camera for me too. The discussion is fascinating to hear Toby Long talk about the various technological changes that are sweeping (or about to sweep) through the home building world.

cool video

I’m a huge fan of architecture and the recent strides in pre-fab / modular / green housing and innovation in this space related. I have some links to other players in this space in a post I put up last night:

I have been hoping for about a year that this will start to be applied/developed in Second Life. It is simple, it ties back into the rest of life and awareness-raising, and would help to gauge interest of the community in sl in this work. This is great.
