With the awesome help of Dave Wallace (SL: Dave Koi), TPN now has a HQ in Second Life!
If you’re in Second Life, you can find it here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Liddy/91/148/21
This will be a place where we, TPN hosts and audience, can catch up to solve the world’s problems and extend the conversation that starts in the podcasts and blogs into another dimension.
I tell ya, grabbing some land and putting up a building in SL is very exciting. I’m buzzing!!
There aren’t many better ways to arrive home than to find multiple Amazon boxes sitting on your front doorstep! Thanks to Nick Hodge, Caitlin Kelly (Aussies) and Wilson Roberto Afonso (Brazil!) for your most generous contribution to my birthday heist! The pile of books beside my bed just rose by six! This is in addition to Andy Brown from the UK who sent me some Napoleon DVD’s a few weeks ago. You guys have significantly improved my week which, with all the server issues I’ve been fighting through, has been incredibly shitty. Thank you for putting a big smile back on my increasingly dour face and stopping me from drinking rat poison for another day at least.
The books I got are:
Definitely a bunch of great things to challenge my thinking in a bunch of different ways which will no doubt lead to more interviews! Thanks again folks. You rock.
My birthday (Oct 10) is still a couple of weeks away though, so there is plenty of time for the rest of your to spread the love by buying me shit from my Amazon wishlist and stop me from killing either myself or my IT support people.
I went over to Thomas Reynolds’ place tonight to play some HALO 3.
It was awesome. Graphics, gameplay, the way it saves your multiplayer games to the hard drive, and you can play them back, swap camera angles, pause, go into bullet time… wicked.
With this much cash up for grabs, it’s easy to see why war is good for business… for some.

I can’t avoid posting about this. The mighty Van Halen have been doing some rehearsal gigs ahead of their tour which starts next week and some footage of the rehearsals has made it into YouTube. Thank god for the innertoobs.
Sure – Dave these days looks more like Glen Campbell than Thor The God of Thunder. But It’s great to hear his songs being sung in his voice and not Sammy’s weak-ass attempts. And Eddie proves that, despite the ravages of time, alcoholism and tongue cancer, he is still the guitar god he’s always been. Wolfie… looks, as someone suggested, like he ate Mike Anthony, just swallowed him up whole.
If you don’t wanna hear about it later… go runnin’ with the devil here.
Thanks Alex, it’s an honour to make your list. But I’m not sure about this “ranting the ass” comment. Perhaps that means something… different… where you come from? Anyway, I’m sure you meant it in a … flattering… fashion. Right? Mate??
