Neal’s brain hurts.
My virtual-world name is now footnoted in a real life essay by a real life Law Professor writing about the virtual-world tabloid journalist who is also a real life Philosophy Professor.
Welcome to the metaverse!
I’ve also just discovered that Josh Knowles at Auscillate.com posted a partial transcript – back in March – of the SXSW 2005 Panel: ‘Blogging about Online Worlds’ featuring Wagner James Au (Hamlet Linden), Peter Ludlow (Urizenus Sklar), Tony Walsh (Zero Grace), and Jane Pinckard.
Highlights include:
Ludlow: Why does it [conflict/hate-speech] have to mean anything? These other guys tend to over-intellectualize everything.
Walsh: From a philosophy prof…
And transcriber Josh’s take on our Uri: “Ludlow’s kind of crotchety in comparison to the others, like a guy not totally buying into the hype and not worried about saying that. Which I like about him. The other panelists seem to have more of a direct interest in SL — working for the company. L doesn’t.”
Josh might have some of his facts wrong but he’s right about Uri…
He is crotchety.

Furthermore, I aspire to be as crotchety as Uri, bless his curmudgeonly heart.
