  1. Neville did a good job with the mixing, but I’m lookig forward to having the two of you back together again. The dialogic nature of the show is definitely part of its charm, and there were some contributions there which really bore discussion, but which you couldn’t discuss.

    If Shel’s travel schedule in the future is going to be anything like the past few months, y’all had better keep that list of possible guest hosts handy.

    Oh, on Second Life—apparently it’s not going to be that easy to import existing buildings, avatars, etc into an improved game engine, which is one reason it’s out of date. The biggest reason the Ur-Guru says SL is a no-go for business, though, is that unlike the Internet or the WWW, it’s privately owned. One of the obstacles to the creation of a 3D Web is the need for massive international cooperation and standards. Ten years ago the VRML people thought we’d have a 3D Web by now; it looks like it could easily be another 10-20 years before it happens.

    My response to this is that if SL as it is works for you and for other people, you should go ahead and use it. Any real-life office Crayon bought or rented would also be vulnerable to matters outside your control.
