We're in Second Life! and also Lleah's in that special hell known as
Changing-Cable-Internet-Providers. Comcast bought ATTBI, and they
either don't have or haven't yet let Lleah know about their newsswevers,
so Lleah can't post to a.r.k, and she's reading through google groups.
Second Life, though! It's like your first life, except it's easier to
mold like you're a tiny capitalist god. It's about as close to Neal
Stephenson's "metaverse" that anyone has yet seen, though, if that's
your thing.

Sign up now while it's still free-- the beta will probably end next
week. Keep an eye out (ow!) for Lleah Lupus and me, Sunburn Epoch.
There's also all kinds of ***y people there, at least a few of whom are
the same gender as they appear to be.
Second Life is where I'm a pirate! Wouldn't you like to be a pirate
too? Go be a pirate! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE A PIRATE!
It's going to cost $15/month, and it eats a lotta bandwidth (minimum
106.6kbps), and it requires a GeForce2 or higher video card, but it's
good for you! sometimes you just sit around chatting, but you can also
build things, and then write scripts and stuff, and make things do
stuff! It's neat. And it's only work if you make it work.
If you're game for it, there's places were you can do adult stuff,
s****ts stuff, battle stuff, shopping stuff, gardening, buying, selling,
making, breaking, deleting, deleting accidently aw dammit, flying.
FLYING! Did I mention flying? You can fly! Like SuperNeo! In that
movie? You can fly! The only thing you can't do is NOT PLAY!
Come to second life! They've got Lleah, and they're not letting go!
Seeya there!
