If I had the choice between two ISPs, and one had a clear and public Net Neutrality policy, I’d go with that one without hesitation. A lack of net neutrality could be a major expense for companies […]

Well, we go through this every year in every industry across the board. People get laid off in December. You’re coming down to the end of the last quarter, things are getting tallied up, and if the numbers don’t look good it might be your neck. Best to offer up someone else’s before it comes […]

Everybody is quite excited about Newt Gingrich visiting Second Life. I don’t know or care about him, so I’ve been spending a lot of time shrugging and looking for more interesting things.
Today someone emailed me the following under the subject heading “Read this and THINK”. I offer it to you unabridged, unedited, and uncommented. Do […]

At the Metanomics meet yesterday someone mentioned how all of these worlds springing up lately weren’t interfacing. They saw that as a problem. The Metaverse is coming, but it’s coming fractured.
