Why was everyone in the video gray/green? At any rate, cool, nice, positive news.

Umm, do head jobs count?

I can't imagine interviewing a candidate in blip-speak* and getting any useful information at all. Also, any firm that is trying to use the "novelty of SL" to attract candidates probably has other flaws as well. Finally, it was amusing to see the oldest bug in SL cited: why one would ever choose the most common letter in the English language as a command key for "jump" escapes me.

*blip-speak - a coinage - I think - of my own which is conversations in bursts of 100 characters or less. This is a feature of IM generally of which SL is but one form. Blip-speak has the approximate bandwidth and complexity of expressable thought as a telegram.

The catcher running after it and picking it up?

That can happen with a knuckleball, although it usually bounces in the dirt and skitters away......
