8 hours on the teen grid: Saturday in Second Life

You are currently watching the crummy 320x240 version. Don't watch it!!

Watch a higher quality version of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX1ALOO_X1w

On the YouTube site, click on the link below the number of views... lower right side of the video.
Now, that's better.... 480x360 instead of 320x240. Other new features on Youtube include the 'annotations' and linking to other Youtube videos from the annotations. Well, now I'm waiting for text messages overlaying video...

Moving to a new island...

My first inclination would be to grab a towel and my ipod and head for the beach, but on second thought... I'll purchase a watercraft so I can scout out the routes. As for workflow... should I start at the end or the beginning?
