I seem to know a billion people. Not really, but with over 2,000 contacts in my address book (which undergoes regular pruning)… it might as well be a billion. Since I’m visual in nature – preferring to wait for the movie over reading the book, unless that book has lots and lots of colorful pictures [...]
Why Didn’t Second Life Become a Hit?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Over on Lockergnome, Guyfromdenmark wonders why Second Life never became a hit. When it was first launched, he (and many of you, really) thought that it would be a HUGE deal. It pretty much just fizzled and died, and our Denmark [...]
That Which Smells Like a Rose
Over on our questions and answers community, ageekmom asked everyone what their favorite scent or smell is. This may seem like something completely wacky for me to write about, but I cannot help but have a million things running through my head as I read the answers given thus far. I found myself agreeing with [...]

What Will the Internet Look Like in Ten Years?
I came across an interesting question on Lockergnome earlier this morning: What will the Internet look like in ten years?. The author states: … the idea of adverse changes, in my mind, is anything that would change the complete freedom that we have to do just about anything. Certainly crime should not be allowed, but [...]
Do You Remember When Life was Simple?
Think for a moment, and look back to when you were much younger. Remember how easy life was back then? I know – we thought it was hard, and horrible, and tragic all the time! But we used to make choices using the “eenie meenie miney moe” methodology. We fixed our screw-ups by yelling “DO [...]

Another Second Life Rant
I like when people send me links – I really do. Jonathan Cohen first popped into my inbox a few months ago, and today he sent me a link to his well-structured essay on Second Life. Not in Second Life, on it – even though he prefaced the notification with somewhat-inaccurate information: I know that [...]
Second Life: I Don’t Get It
Every time I turn around, it seems that one of my friends has signed up for a Second Life account and is raving about it. I finally took the plunge tonight and gave birth to “Wicket Pixie” (yes, that’s my SL character’s name, you can look it up and everything). My initial impressions were… well, [...]
