I'm actually a little worried that Second Life will become a huge, all-encompassing thing, and that I'll be left out. Most of it just seems meaningless and/or pointless to me, even though it clearly has lots of meaning for others. I think it has to do with not being very visually or spatially oriented, because I'd love it if it was more or less text-only, but obviously that would defeat the point for most users.
Possibly the problem is that my computer is so slow at the moment that I can just imagine how slowly SL would run on it, and the very idea makes me shudder.
In other issues, does Olaug Nilssen's use of the basically untranslatable song lyric "Jeg vil ut! Jeg må ut! Jeg skal ut og drikke meg full!" as an epigraph for "Få meg på, for faen" qualify as the best epigraph ever? (I think picking the epigraph would be the best part of writing almost anything, though I've only had a chance to do it once, for a dissertation. The difficulty would be showing some restraint, rather than having five or six from various cultural levels like Stephen King tends to.)
