Thanks to my wife Laurie, family, and friends who had to listen to me drone on about virtual worlds excessively this past year. Special thanks to residents Ecocandle Riel, Delaynie Barbosa, Spidey Carlberg, Therecia Yalin, Spin Martin, Fleep Tuque, Lienna Jael, and Globetrekkerbob Lane for their contributions to this book and my Second Life experience.
