« UNCANNY VALLEY EXPO: VAL SUISEI | Main | THE WEEK IN NWN »
It's Katharine's world, we're just living in it. Debuted in early July, open sourced last week, Katherine Berry's AjaxLife Web interface for Second Life has already been updated yet again: now you can search for Residents, view a partial version of their user profile, and receive send [thanks, Miss K!] "arbitrary IMs". Go to Katharine's blog for more details, and access.
