« When It Comes to Fashion, Virtual & Real Are Just About Equal (Comment of Week) | Main | Is It Ever Right to Dox a Pseudonymous Internet User? »

Stay safe, all of you reading this who are in Hurricane Sandy's path (or indeed, it's wet and brutal wake). I know there's a lot of you out there. And if you feel like checking in to let your online friends know how you're doing, please do in Comments -- I'm sure they (and me) want to hear from you.

SL seems to be a lot emptier the last few days. I guess the people have other problems right now than some silly virtual world in their computer; they are probably busy evacuating that computer to the basement.
