      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello, and welcome to a story about a friend of mine in Second Life. This friend seemed about to go off world in a very serious way.
How far would you go to cross the line from virtual to real?
Tune in, listen to the podcast, IM me in world and let me know what you think.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I begin an exploration of the worlf of tinies in Second Life by becoming one and doing some field experiences. I kinda like having an ankle high view of the metaverse.
Come along with me as I explore.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;  There are people doing research in Second Life--this we know. Unfortunately, some of these people are doing research without letting people know that they are doing research, which I find unethical. 
Listen in as I talk about the research and my opinions about that.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello, and good day. Today I explore, or start to explore, the ways in whcih people succeed in the Metaverse. 
I think it&#039;s partly having the right connections, and partly being a magnetic personality.
Listen as I discuss both of these concepts and talk about two of my friends who have these qualities.&lt;/p&gt;
