I can finally take the wraps off a new project of mine.
The “Regina World” concept began long ago. Actually it predates my coming to WBR as I was a beta-tester for Linden Labs a few years ago at the request of Howard Rheingold. Since then, I’ve followed its development closely, as it rose above There.com and Sims Online to become the defacto metaverse.
When I got to WBR, I wanted to do a project in world, and Regina Spektor is the first that presented itself. She seemed logical, as she is a visceral and visual artist, with a defined aesthetic.
Regina’s loft was developed with Millions of Us, Inc.
We launch the world next week…..

Weird — I just found out about Regina Spektor last week, and suddenly I see her name pop up everywhere. But she’s been around for, what, five years?

Y’know, I’ve always imagined this is how the parties I don’t get invited to look. Including the overhead, ah, sleep.

explaining second life to non-techies was entertaining.
non-techie: “So uh, you log in, and walk around and talk?”
Posted 22 May 2006 at 6:11 pm ¶me: “Yup!”
non-techie: “And people do this?”
me: “Yeah! 5000 are on right now! Look, I can fly!!!!”
non-techie: “Did you have many friends as a child?”
That’s pretty much every conversation I’ve ever had in my life.
Assuming it concluded with, “I will get a restraining order unless you leave me alone right now.”
