Well, we usually take you somewhere, anywhere, that will be fun for you and interesting for us.  Instead of a country this time we are visiting Second Life.  Yes, SL, the place where people dress up their avatars in virtual spandex and fly from place to place looking for well, we are not sure what.

Dave has played with Second Life as he interviewed Cory Ondrehka of Linden Lab on thunderbird six.  The Future Play conference always has a presence from Linden as well, so Dave has met people from Linden.

Of the two of us, Dave is the gamer, and Dave does not really think much of SL.  Indeed, he cannot even figure out why anyone would want to play with it.  That said, SL has some real world applications, such as education, and on another t6 interview John Nordlinger of Microsoft talked about how SL can be used with autistic kids, which is pretty close to both of our hearts. 

There is a dark side to this though.  That dark side is that people seem to sometimes fall into SL way too hard and end up meeting people and having affairs with them, as this video shows.

This lead us into a discussion of marriage, Dave is actually rather traditional in his views on this topic, Isabelle, not as much.

We want to thank all of our listeners over the years, Mark, Bob, James, Mark, Andy, Jim, Meg, Rob, Rachel, Katherine, the Dude, Matt, Andre, and of course AmHam, who sent us an audio comment. 

Next time it is off to Morocco!  Literally, Isabelle is going to Morocco!  We hope to skype from there and do an episode.  Dave, alas, will be at home.
