We're happy to welcome journalist Mark Wallace as a guest author on Terra Nova this February. Mark runs 3pointD.com, where he blogs about virtual worlds, massively multiplayer online games and the broader metaverse. His writing on 3D online technologies and other subjects has appeared in Wired, The New York Times and many other publications.
(NB: This month's Wired has an excellent article by Mark about MTV's Virtual Laguna Beach -- previous TN discussion here.)
As Second Life resident Walker Spaight, he is an editor of the Second Life Herald (which Ted once called the first "virtual free press") and with Herald founder Urizenus Sklar (aka University of Michigan philosophy professor Peter Ludlow), he is co-author of the forthcoming book, The Second Life Herald: The Virtual Newspaper That Witnessed the Birth of the Metaverse.
Mark's first gaming experiences, like my own, were back in the days when computers spat out punch cards and games had simple titles like ADVENT. And a PDP-11 was cutting edge.
Mark is also an original cast member of SecondCast, a weekly podcast on Second Life that is now entering its second year with an audience of more than 10,000 listeners.
In 1991, Mark dropped out of college for the fifth and last time.
Brooklyn in the heezy. Give 'em hell, Mark.

Lies!
I never programmed anything with punch cards -- just those basement teletypes with the cylindrical keys.

Um, I thought my instructions were to lie on this intro -- and additionally be defamatory? No? Um, my bad.

Yay, Mark!

There goes the neighborhood! But seriously, it's about time these TN eggheads let an honest to goodness 3X college dropout in the mix. Gopod knows they could use a reality check now and then.
