I’ve gone and created myself a Second Life account. That’s me talking to a parrot. I tend not to play games as I end up playing them and getting nothing else done. However, I’m trying to look at this as a social experiment, not a game. I’m not sure how well that’ll work but it’ll take a while to find out. In any event, it doesn’t like my office notebook all that much as it slows to a crawl so I guess I’ll have to experiment more at home. If you’ve got an account send me a friend request. My Second Life name is “TravelinLibrarian Mandelbrot”.
