Today I met Warren Adler, the writer (Avatar: WarrenAdler Aeon), at the Amazon.com island.
It was interesting, and fun.

Cisco launches an immersive hospital SIM, a promising business for Second Life.
This is a supermodern Hospital that will open in 2011, and they already have its virtual simulation up and running (I’m sure it will help better designing the final steps of the building).
This kind of activity will lead to promising businesses, because it will […]
Did you ever read something from Ray Kurtzweil?
I find him coherent and interesting, expecially when he talks about how the Law of Accelerating Returns will affect our life in the near future. In twenty years, we’ll experience the progress of the past fifty years, and this will translate into nanotechnological implants, quantum computers, and so […]
Meta Linden (you probably didn’t know that every Linden Lab employee has an avatar with “Linden” as last name) just published the key economic metrics of Second Life for January 2008.
