Hi all,

A reminder that the next future salon has been rescheduled for
Tuesday, October 24th. We'll be heading to Virtual Laguna Beach,
built on the There.com platform, so grab a free account at http://
www.vlb.mtv.com if you want to join. Details are at: http://
blogs.electricsheepcompany.com/jerry/?p=335 . My VLB avatar name is
"Jerry". Ping me if you plan to come and/or want to stomp around early.

For any US east coasters, we're having a real life meetup Friday
night, October 20th, in New York City. The meetup.com group is at
http://gamedev.meetup.com/153/ and there will be 15-20 of us there
talking about our virtual worlds interests and projects.

Note that SL has hit over 1 million accounts in its lifetime, with
around 400,000 logging in in the last 60 days. Obviously that's not
the true number of active avatars, but there it is and exciting
nonetheless!

Lastly, Terra Nova has an interesting post going called "Searching
for the 3D Tipping Point" if you want to check that out: http://

Cheers,

Jerry/SNOOPYbrown Zamboni
