The tubes of the internets offer many timesinks for whiling away an hour or ten, most of which I’ve never tried. I don’t have a WoW or EQ account and I don’t have a MySpace page. But I am kind of curious about Second Life, the online digital world that is attracting more and more media buzz. I mean, if geek idol Warren Ellis is writing a column about it, it must be cool, right? Maybe I’ll create an avatar and see what all the fuss is about. I might be able to use it as a forum for recruiting initiates into my self-styled religion (and get-rich-quick scheme): The Temple of He Who Dwells on the 19th Floor, Reformed.
