folks it is the end of the year and the podcast is on winter break as we are preparing for a fabulous 2018 with great shows and wonderful conversations around second life, sansar and digital culture broadly speaking.

as i am preparing to heat up some mulled wine let me just briefly thank the great justin esparza who created – every single week [!!!] – a poignant image that summarizes the show in such visual clarity that you would not even have to listen to it.

let me also thank my co-host jo yardley for being there even if she was not sometimes because her spirit infuses this show like a warm glow that is occupying half of my brain. is that a good thing? well, someone has to keep me in check no?

and then let me thank the wonderful corporate sponsors who make this show happen and let me doubly thank the many residents who spend their hard-earned linden dollars on this program, as much as they can afford because they value what we do here.

if YOU like to sponsor the show please do so by giving l$ to avatar draxfiles or throw us what you can afford via paypal – we appreciate it sooooo very much and thank YOU!!!

have a very happy holiday season y’all and we see you in 2018.

this show will be back january 14th.

i leave you with the half-updated youtube channel of shows…

a playlist of sansar atlas hopping…

and the new subsection of the ‘our digital selves’ website which features the upcoming documentary about embodiment in virtual worlds:

 

so as you can see we got lots in store for next year.

 

thank you for being part of this journey and letting me be part of all your second lives!
