I dunno if this has already been mentioned - it's a couple days old, and forum search isn't working for me atm.

There is an interview with uncle Phil and an article on "Real Money Spent In Unreal Worlds" at http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=assignment_7&id=4202586

The link to the video is on the right hand side. I couldn't get it to work in Firefox, but it's ok in IE (boo!). But that might be my setup.

Thanks Kris, I'll check it out!

I dig media on SL, no matter how wrong they get it :)

That website is completely incompatible with anything except Windows Internet Explorer. Luckily, I'm a web developer and after about 5 minutes of hunting through HTML and javascript I found the video's true URL:

Just open the following file in Windows Media Player (for PC or Mac):

mms://a1161.m.akastream.net/7/1161/11908/v001/worldnowkgo.download.akamai.com/11908/kgo_20060524181132vi.wmv

It's actually kinda funny because viewing the video directly shows about 20 seconds more than the website does at the beginning. It has them setting up the interview. :)

First time I've watched video of him and I have two very intelligent, immediate responses:

1. He's cute.
2. Is it just me or are his mitts huge?

What I am most shocked by is how much Philip looks like a Backstreet Boy - I have never noticed that before:

The most facinating are that when I see him - he acts a half to a second before his voice comes to my ears.. Always as the body language and his voice never are synced.

/Tina - EXAKT curios as usual.

[ARTICLE] Video Interview with Secondlife.com Founder Philip Rosedale
05-31-2006 01:38
There's a text article here:

http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=assignment_7&id=4202586

but it's skimpy... where the REAL meat is, happens to be the lengthy Video Interview with Secondlife.com Founder Philip Rosedale!

Look on the right-hand side under RELATED LINKS for "VIDEO: Complete Rosedale Interview". If it doesn't load, turn off any pop-up blockers that may be getting in the day. :)

(Nice Roman Spa reference in there too, altho talking about it in the present tense kinda makes me weepy!)
