The mythic “lost episode” of SecondCast, recorded live at the Second Life Community Convention, has surfaced. Unfortunately, it’s only a minute’s worth of tape — however, it’s video! Feast your eyes as Baccara Rhodes, Lordfly Digeridoo, Malarthi Behemoth and I (I’m on the left, Malarthi’s on the right) discuss “green-dot syndrome” on the teen and adult grids of the virtual world of Second Life. Baccara is one of Second Life’s oldest residents, and has watched as the Grid has changed radically over the last several years. Malarthi is the very first resident of the Teen Grid. We had a great conversation with them both, as well as with audience members, about community in virtual spaces and real, and a range of other things, but unfortunately we later discovered that the audio capture arranged by the convention’s organizers wasn’t up to the task of properly taping the show, which is a real shame. Fortunately, SL podcaster Jeremy Flagstaff caught a minute of the show on tape. Enjoy.
