The Autistic Spectrum in Second Life - the good, the bad and the ugly
Torley Torgeson, a good friend of mine and probably one of the most well-known Aspies on Second Life, recently suffered a disturbing series of attacks on the forums from another Aspie. This got ugly fast, and really all it does is demonstrate the vast range of different personalities that people with Asperger Syndrome can have, and how their interactions with others can be affected by their personality (and I suspect in this case, the number of years they've been alive and learning to cope with others).

On a more positive note, John Prototype discusses the Brigadoon Project in Second Life. It is certainly interesting, but I'm not sure that - as someone who is already deeply immersed in mainstream Second Life - I want or need to get involved with it. Still, I may try to find time to talk with John at some point.

I already know that Andrew Linden sometimes reads this. Now it seems Hamlet will be dropping by from time to time too! Augh, the pressure to produce good and interesting posts! ;)

I haven't been on much in the last few days, due in no small part to an unfortunate accident involving my powerbook, the leg of a sofa/bed, and the fragility that is an LCD screen. :( However, the powerbook wings its way today to have a new screen installed, and then I intend to be back with a vengence, including a new round of daily and varied events, the completion of the Shaka Mall revamp (both the building and the web site), and more development of the Derwent RV campground. Plus of course, my continuing job for UC Davis on the private Davis Island. My enthusiasm is completely renewed by the news that I came 49th of 53 people eligible for the December Developer Awards, and I get a grand total of US$31.20 for it!!!!! (Love those apartment tenants and their dwell... er, traffic).
