Caroling Tinies at Metanomics

A funny thing happened at work today.

Some of you may know that I am a voice to text transcriptionist for Virtual Ability Island doing shows such as the Metanomics show.  Today was the last day of the fall session 2010 and I had the pleasure of working with my fellow transcriptionists Lorivonne and Gentle.  Today's show was 2010 & Next - Second Life, Virtual Worlds and the State of the Union with special guests Larry Johnson, CEO of New Media Consortium, Brian Kaihoi of the Mayo Clinic and my friend Terry Beaubois from Cornell University.


Prior to going on air we had a group of Carolers from the Tiny Empire and what a show they put on.  I couldnt resist but to include the text of their show.  The carols could be heard in sounds but were also in text and proved to be a great way to finish the Metanomics show before the Holiday break.


So, for your entertainment, here is the transcript of their performance.
