If you enjoy reading New World Notes and have some Amazon holiday season shopping to do, I'd be grateful if you consider these recommended affiliate offers we can personally recommend:
The Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti Nano USB Microphone is what I use for podcast and broadcast interviews, and it packs impressive pro-level audio quality into a mic that costs just $80. (Here's a sample.)
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus is a good laptop to consider for Second Life power users/content creators, recommended by none other than acclaimed metaverse artist Whiskey Monday.
The 2020 Dell G5 15 Gaming Laptop is my own device, and I highly recommend it. While it runs Second Life pretty well -- I'd give it a solid B for graphics quality and performance -- it's great for AAA games. Especially at the current price of $748!
And of course, there's Making a Metaverse That Matters, now on sale for $25.30. Plus if you send me your mailing address, I'll happily send you an autograph plate with a custom message and my sig!
Your breakdown of Amazon's move into this digital realm was both informative and thought-provoking. The idea of a tech giant like Amazon embracing the metaverse is a game-changer, and your analysis shed light on the potential ripple effects.

Thanks for you book "Making a Metaverse That Matters" - finally I catched up and listened through it in one day, feels solid on the subject and brings quite some fresh pieces of big metaverse puzzle to chew on ... For now I can only dream about how viable virtual world should be organized and what are those foggy core principles to rely on when aiming big; but bringing adequacy to own dreams also is a good thing.
