Business in Virtual Worlds
Yesterday I went out and got my hair cut. It was very strange.
For the past month I’ve been hitting the keyboard pretty hard, although you really can’t see the fruits of my efforts in publicly yet. I’ve been trying to get Zebra Corporate out of the way and the vBusiness Expo rolling. This means 10 [...]
A recent IM:

I don’t usually blog about work here but this was just too sweet not to comment on. Clever Zebra’s first big project, “Zebra Corporate”, released version 0.1 yesterday.
