"Now I have seen some beautiful houses and villas in Second Life, but never such an awe-inspiring and prestigious palace complex as Crito Galtier's residence. I have been to Versailles some years ago, which is actually more of a city than a palace. You have to imagine something like that. While Crito was waiting for me on the steps of the palace, the clock in the tower struck eight." Read more on the blog.

"When you meet someone in an office for an interview you imagine all sorts of things. When I arrived in the realm of famous Second Life writer Huckleberry Hax, the fantasy matched reality completely. Only the reality in SL added something to it. It was as if I had landed in a 70s movie like All the presidents men. Picture this: veneer wood furniture and walls, a globe, books and liquor displayed in a shelving unit, an old TV, iron beige-brown filing cabinets and Huckleberry Hax himself sitting behind his desk, looking like a boss with his sleeves rolled up. This was vintage in the superlative sense." Click over to read the interview on the blog.
