M Dot’s comment on this video: So once I heard this track by Pnok I had to make an animation for it….and I did in 2 hours with Cinema 4d and After Effects ^^ Pnok’s myspace
Today I heard Jean Miller, director International Initiatives at Linden Lab (via an ultra-secret recording […]
Sometimes there’s a beauty in roughly-hewn work. It’s raw. The imperfection makes it pure. The more regrettable it is, the more beautiful it is. It’s an encapsulated moment in time.
Of course, that’s when it’s private. Publicly that pimple is forever blighting your face. There aren’t that many people out there that can pull that off. […]
Onder Skall (me) chills at a Twitter Geek Meet with Tateru Nino, another person with a curious name.
Myg recently asked the question: why did you pick your name? I thought it an excellent question for… well… almost everybody I know really. SL names especially tend to be out of the clear blue. Why did Nick […]
Prokofy Neva. What a character.
He and I argue about politics, social media structures, whether or not people should have a “no” vote, corporatism, and everything else in between. Prok’s word-fu has a way of getting under your skin if you don’t see past the feints and block the jabs, and more than one reader has […]
This week proved that the Linden Dollar is just for pretend.
First the “World Stock Exchange” is robbed of L$3.2 Million which, while not a significant number from an economy-wide perspective, severely damaged confidence in the WSE. There was a cover-up, possibly with help from Zee Linden, which is pretty much the exact opposite of how exchanges […]

Drama and the Second Life Herald have always gone hand in hand, but drama about the Herald is a bit different. Some changes have been made, and as a result Prokofy Neva will no longer be contributing for the paper.
It’s a […]
In the old media system all you had to do to get a little press is write a press release and send it out over the wire. If it was the kind of story that a reporter needed, they’d put their name on it, edit for length, and up it went mostly as-is. Others would […]

This originally appeared in The Second Life Herald, but I’m reprinting it here for posterity. Forgive the frenetic nature of it… I was a little frazzled.

There are times where I’m dazzled by all that is glorious and wonderful about the Internet, social networks, virtual worlds and the coming of the Metaverse. There are other times, however, where the world seems like it exists for morons only.
These are the dark times. The times of Bush and FOX News, of Windows Vista […]
I have a love/hate relationship wth Terra Nova. In case you’re not familiar, it’s a blog that attempts to ask the big academic questions about MMOs and gaming in general. It’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but can be worth a read if you’re in the mood. A wide variety of people post there, some total […]
