M is for Myg

From time to time, I like to give you a “best of the net” — you know, a little collection of links and news items that you may have missed. No I don’t. Most of these links are as old as fuck-all, but with Burgess such a staunch supporter of the writers’ strike, what’s a hermaphrodite to do?

1. Get your brain-computer interface yet? Good if you lost your wii.

2. Got a griefer? Sue them! More here.

3. Remember those Brazilians? Well, don’t turn off SL in their name yet, ’cause at 350 Lindens a day, they may want to emigrate. “In somewhere like Thailand or Brazil, it may be a compelling reason to spend time in-world.”

4. A haven for adulterers , terrorists, racists, and pedophiles? What are we — the Republican Party?

5. I liked these portraits of avatars and their meatselves:

6. The latest research from the University of the Obvious. More here. (“Further thought suggests that virtual economies may be anything but normal.”)

7. …and the prize for best description of SL in a news publication goes to the Daily Princetonian:

The meeting then turned to the University’s official presentation of its Second Life program, a 3D virtual world where everyone can fly or take off all their clothes, and where most men are well over eight feet tall.

8. Not about Second Life at all.
