During one of his many entertaining explorations of Second Life, metaverse travelogue writer Garth Goode found a map of the earth-- quite literally, as evidenced by this screen cap of the SL map. What's more, Garth reports, the island contains a microcosm of the earth, with all the wacky possibilities that implies:
Where else can you stand on top of an Egyptian pyramid and see clear to
a stormy Antarctica area? Or cross a flower-laden bridge across the
Atlantic? Cheerio, darling, I’m going to take a stroll to America and pick up some salsa. Back in a bit!
The owner's goal? World peace, of course. Read about it on Garth's blog, SLWTF.
