Recently, I’ve started playing around with a technology called Second Life. For those of you who have not heard of it (I hadn’t until last year sometime), it’s a virtual reality program that connects you to a mess of servers owned by a San Francisco company called Linden Labs. Second Life is a 3D world you can wander around in and interact with. There are also a whole mess of other people in there that you can meet and interact with as well. Second Life is at once a game, a chat tool, a collaboration engine, and a place for commerce… with a healthy (or unhealthy, depending upon your attitude) mixture of the Wild West added to the pot. And, when I say “Wild West,” I mean gun slingers, saloons, and whores, yes (well, the 21st century equivalent, I suppose… the gun slingers don’t really use guns so much as scripts that fling people about, the saloons are dance clubs, and the whores are… well… whores).

This is just so wrong, I can’t even express it. At least someone else must have a sense of humor as fundamentally sick as mine. In case you’re wondering, I saw this on a banner ad on the Real Life Comics site and had to follow it.
Ok, back to work!
