Here’s a quick note to call attention to something that might be of interest: Another avatar fabbing outfit has set up shop. Most of you are probably already aware of Fabjectory, the service that’s been “3D printing” Second Life avatars and objects for the last year or so.

I’m not much for official predictions, so I won’t bother to make any
such announcements here. From my perspective, most people posting

early part of the decade (and who shot emails containing a link to the original Wired article

About a week ago I was lucky enough to get myself logged into Second
Life to attend a question & answer session with representatives
from Steelcase, the office
furniture manufacturer. Unfortunately there won’t be an audio posted
online, so I thought I’d post a couple of things I wrote down at the

of any Industrial Designers that might surf through. But don’t quote

A few weeks back I wondered if Philips was going to get more involved in the Second Life community (reLink).
Well, it just so happens I caught word that they’re conducting a
discussion group later today inside the virtual world to discuss,
interestingly enough, “SKIN: Tattoos” (Link).
