The virtual life of Otenth Paderborn
From the monthly archives:
Only in a virtual world have I been in a live television studio audience. Gabrielle Riel, the founder of Radio Riel and the Duchess of Carntaigh was on Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe, produced by the SLCN television network.
Miss Beebe’s second guest was Picker Apogee, who played live ragtime guitar.
And the final guest was Miko Omegamu, the curator of the Evolutions Museum, which showcases the early and later work of prominent virtual world designers.

Just over a year ago, I installed Google analytics code here, and the other day I took a look at a year of statistics. (Tenth Life is, make no mistake, a low-traffic site, but I love numbers anyway.) I’m always pleased to be reminded of the international scope of [our favorite virtual world], even though I’ve made no particular effort to take advantage of the opportunities that presents, beyond being pleased that my friends in Caledon come from so many places. The popularity of the post summarizing the first few of Torley Linden’s video tutorials was a pleasant surprise. I am grateful, as always, that the prodigiously helpful Natalia has a link to me. And I do wonder who lives in Lille.

I’m not sure it’s reality that’s being augmented, but it is certainly interesting to see a virtual world and reality visually merged in real time.

The Atlantic has announced that its aetheric resources will now be open to all:
readers can also browse issues going back to 1995, along with hundreds of articles dating as far back as 1857, the year The Atlantic was founded.
My handful of regular readers will know that I am a great fan of the photographic reproductions of original source material at Harper’s, which are still subscriber-only. (A tip of the hat to Kottke.)

At the snarky new blog “Are we not men?” Hawk ponders Life by Xcite!
Do you ever wake up and feel like your life is totally scripted, and you are just the actor hired to play the role? I do on occasion. I have decided that rather than try to fight it, I am going to hire better writers. Who more fitting than the wonderful Xcite! staff to script my life?
It’s a very funny take on doing the dishes.
