Are we Serious?
Working in the tech industry, you might think I had heard about Second Life before a month ago. Well, you would have been wrong. I had no idea that over two million people are creating “second lives” and living for several hours a day in a virtual world. Dude…these people have even created a virutal economy and somehow, that virtual money is translating into real money. What? How does that work and not completely tip the universe over due to what has to be multiple infractions on the laws of physics.
Is anyone paying attention? If you think this is only for certain “freakish” people, I will have you know that Harvard conducts classes in this virtual world. On a virtual island. At a Tiki Bar.
Then again, I know some pretty freakish Harvard people. (No L, I’m not talking about you. You are not freakish at all. Except for that thing with the thing last year.)

heh…ouch, burn! (actually, I have no idea if that is even directed toward me. I just like typing that phrase).
I’d not heard of this before now. Hmm.
hehe…no, it wasn’t directed at you at all. Didn’t even know you were a Harvard gal. No, it was directed at a friend at Harvard who might, but probably not, read this.
