I rather like that he didn't use one. It adds to the surrealism.

hehe which island do you hafta log into to get to arrive as 'silverman'?? ;) (i know, some fictional conceit for the story - a good one at that) woulda taken a bit longer to figure out the grid i guess if that's how all fresh accounts started!! just drop your butt from the sky.;)

well, i'm just kidding, funny bit to think about.:) congrats to the creatives involved on their success!! i think it's quite kewl if networks are looking for inworld talent/ideas. in itself it is an excellent and thoughtful introduction to 'gettin' a second life'.

heck now i'm picturing a 'machina theater' short program, maybe monthly if not weekly, ala 'alive from off center'. show this, and 'a better life' and the rest of dingo's collection... :)

p.s. ahhh, lots more interesting behind-the-story stories:
