Beat you to it Torley  Regina Lynn wrote an article about Second Life in Wired News titled Your Only a Newbie Once "Now, I have writing assignments that challenge me and a relationship that suits me well. I'm active in a dozen online discussion groups -- including the Sex Drive forum -- and I have 100 people on my Trillian contact list, 41 of whom are online right now. And yet, I really miss the group energy of the chat room. I miss the freedom to say whatever's on my mind, no matter how ridiculous or how sexual. And I wondered whether a new online community could give me those things -- and whether it would be worth the black hole it could become on my time. I reactivated myself in Second Life to find out. And even as I write this column, I'm dancing with a group of other folks in a virtual saloon in another window. (If I suddenly lose my train of thought and shout "Oh yeah!" you now know why.)" |

Being linked to Wired Magazine has taught me an important lesson about reducing the use of phases like "Assless pants" and "go fuck your official bird" in political analysis.

I thought of that too. But! Regina isn't exactly a Sunday school teacher. A few weeks back I read a column where she was talking about new disposable vibrating whatsits for fellas to attach to their gee-gaws to improve stimulation of their partner's tee-hee. So, I mean, if anything you've struck a chord with her. |

Yeah, I love Wired. I used to have a subscription, but I got lazy and didn't pay it, so now I just read their site. |

In fact, as long as we're needlessly correcting people in this thread, Wired News (wired.com) and Wired Magazine are not the same. Wired Magazine sold Wired News to Conde Nast in the 90's, which then sold it to Terra Lycos at some point in the recent past. An agreement exists wherein Magazine puts their content on News' site, which is pretty neat, but Wired and Wired News are, in fact, separate entities. |
