Also I know that companies sell stuff through Second Life and class courses from universities are beginning to be taught there. It certainly is a strange world we're living in!

I’ve tried spending some online time there, creating an avatar and even trying to find my way around Second Life Library 2.0, but each time I’ve given up in frustration. Maybe I’ve reached the limit of my technical horizon, and I’m too old to get the hang of extending my life from meatspace into the cyberworld. But now, I’m thinking, maybe it’s not just me.

Nick Smith + Phil Hartnoll, yes, of legendary techno duo Orbital. I haven't confirmed this personally yet but am going to learn more. I would be terribly pleased to see Wu-Tang Clan perform in SL--I think they'd really enjoy what we have in here, to say the least.
