• Stuart's bringing SLPN there with the potential of getting regular podcast recordings there. Hopefully this will build up the Podmafia fan base as well as get interesting discussions of SL issues with Radar's own "town hall" episodes. And, I'm not going to pull punches on this one - sometimes the threesome gets stale. "Do you have any topics?" "What are we talking about?" "Inside joke 1" "Inside Joke 2" "Inside Joke 3" zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Learn from the collapse of Secondcast, or repeat it.
• The permanent version of the exhibit we put together for SL5B will be installed somewhere there. People wanting to learn about podcasting can learn some elements of it there before wandering off to research it more and try their hand at it. That'll add a badly-needed educational aspect to podcasting. It won't be ivory tower of primitives, sure, but Radar's videos are amazing. If I ever got a Mac, I'd have no fear of getting abck up and running with producing 100WS, eh.

Certainly if I wanted to I could lob a few cheap shots back at people without even having to strain, but I’d rather not.

Certainly there’s areas where those of us who are there could do a lot better.

Facing a crippling increase in fuel costs, some rural U.S. schools are mulling a solution born of the '70s oil crisis: a four-day week. Cutting out one day of school has been the key to preserving educational programs and staff in parts of Kentucky, New Mexico and Minnesota, outweighing some parents' concerns about finding day-care for the day off. "For rural school districts where buses may travel 100 miles round-trip each day, there certainly are transportation savings worth considering," said Marc Egan, the director of federal affairs at the National School Boards Association. Egan said about 100 schools in as many as 16 states have already moved to a four-day school week, many to save money on transportation, heating and cooling.

"I put a smile on your partner's face." has a sinister tone to it, doesn't it? (Now put a donut in mine!)

When you're ready for the hot seat, there's plenty of space on ipodjacker.com, Scott. (That goes for all you podcasting people who expressed an interest and then ran for the hills.)

I'll hold off on my comments about the New Media thing at Orange until that trainwreck finally blows up at the station.

On the other hand Crap is exactly like you expect him to be. Humorous, generous, and an iconoclast. Crap has to be one of the most honorable and loyal person I have ever met in SL to date. He’s 100% real with 0% BS and 0% Drama. In both cases they are pretty ordinary in RL, but SL gives them a way to realize some of their potential to shine.

I have to laugh because when I first met you Crap I a was totally in awe. "OMG Crap Mariner I totally read your blog! I can't believe you are talking to me" which you totally laughed at and said words to the effect of "I am just like you, stupid." You were right too -- we are all just avatars doing our thing, some of us with a more public profile than others.

It turns out they are under the mistaken impression that I'm some sort of SL celebrity. SL celebrity? Me? Maybe SL is doomed after all.

• Incorporating search into the chatbar. Instead of using Enter for chat and Shift-Enter for shout, Control-Enter could fire off a search with those terms. Maybe even include people: and shop: and event: and map: for firing off searches in those functions quickly.
• Changing Friends into Contacts and organizing it into folders.
• Tags for objects to make searching for objects easier.
• Modal windows for Contacts, map, etc that you can tear off outside the client and into a second monitor.
