22nd Internet Identity Workshop, at the amazing Computer History Museum, in downtown Silicon Valley.
This is at VRM Day 2022b, the second of the two in-person gatherings that ProjectVRM holds each year, always the day before the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) commences for the next three days at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley. This time the workshop also included a talk and discussion led by Roger McNamee as part of the Beyond the Web Salon Series led by Doc and Joyce Searls, who (in addition to their work with ProjectVRM) are visiting scholars at the Ostrom Workshop, of Indiana University, which hosts the series. Roger's talk was carried live by Owl , RingCentral and Zoom to IU and the world. Roger's talk so energized attendees that a cabal, informally called Roger & We, was formed in the room and took more shape over the following days at IIW. Its purpose became branded ESC, for End Surveillance Capitalism.
ProjectVRM was born in 2006 as a project by Doc Searls when he became a fellow with the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University. Its blog, wiki, and mailing list (of more than 500 members) remain kindly hosted by the BKC.

Taken around 1990 with a Vivitar PS:20 using Ektachrome 100 slide film. Scanned on a Canon MP990 using auto scan (1200 dpi). No edits other than flipping. The scan software is silly. It does not have you place the emulsion side toward the glass. It also crashes a lot in manual mode.
This is probably the best result we got while experimenting with anaglyph 3D via the color wheel on the LDS-1. The LDS-1 electronics did the translation.
