I wanted to get some info from the FI readers. How many people are Secondlife users? How many of you even know what Secondlife is?
I thought it might be kind of interesting to have meetings in that virtual space. I know Justin would be really good at meeting Internet friends. Maybe we could open a kind of Virtual Coffee Shop. Witty banter will flow like we were an Aaron Sorkin show.

never hear of it…but I’m having a hard enough of time with my first life….
HA
I tried it once. Downloaded it sometime near the beginning of this summer. Can’t say I enjoyed it. It was slow and lumbering on my 1.25 GHz G4 and broadband connection.
I think when I get into any kind of multi-verse type experience (referencing Cryptonomicon here, Josh; if you haven’t read it, go get it NOW), I’m going to need graphics and movements that are of Half-Life 2 quality.
Gotta say I love the Aaron Sorkin reference though.
Dontcha mean Snow Crash, Kyle?
I had pretty much the same experience (I also have pretty much the same computer). It was a cool concept, and seemed like there were people having cyber-fun all about…I just lagged too hard to really partake. I remember there being some sort of nudist demonstration going on near the login point, with lots of nekkid people running around holding up picket signs and stuff.
Oh shit, that’s right! Snow Crash. Read that one, Josh. Read it now.
Its been on my list, so I guess I better get on it now.
