Much like the way I came to appreciate some of society’s great phenomenons such as “The OC” after the fact, I finally ventured into Second Life last night as a guest on “Virtually Speaking.” (Note my hot avatar provided by the VS team, including the not-exactly-true-to-life long legs.)
Jay Ackroyd (a.k.a. Jimbo Hoyer) and I discuss many things, from the President’s first 100 days and the prospects of post-partisanship on the horizon to truuconfessions to Manners 2.0. I had a fabulous time and would like to thank Katie Halper for introducing me to Jay and the show. Listen here.
