POPSRoo Reynolds, Metaverse Evangelist I like job titles that make you do a double-take. I recently spotted this in the Beeb online. These types of articles are becoming more common; I can't imagine it's too long before the novelty wears off and they become ubiquitously meshed yet valuable, like what Steve Jobs thinks of Levi jeans. ;) From an insider perspective (I work for Linden Lab), I should note how dapper Roo aka Algernon looks, and how unique his head is shaped: you'll often not find prominent eyebrows like that in Second Life, especially paired with big blue eyes and a teardrop-shaped head not unlike that of a classic Gray alien. Lots of room for avatar customization, that's for sure.

POPSWill There Be Cities in a Virtual World? Always cool to see predictions that've come true. Some 6+ years later after this was published, we know now what's happened. And the answer, looking at the specific instance of Second Life, is yes. :) P.S. Not the first time either, as pioneering, earlier online worlds like Habitat have demonstrated. Odd how this article is heavy on the words but misses out the key concept of an "avatar" as digital persona.

POPSWhat's Coming in Firefox 3 There's plenty more coming listed at the article source, and I'm sure there will be many changes before even an alpha materializes, but it's interesting to see what the general direction is.

POPSHarness the artistic power of hundreds of tiny dancers You may never find out how many angels are needed to fit on a head of a pin, but c'mere and upload your fave graphics into the dance and sign generators. Result? They'll all line up and behave for you in perfect formation. I think the operative word, as written by artist Mariko Goda, is "kilofesta"! Credz to Sarah aka secret canadian for letting me know.
