Crikey: intellectual property, sex and Second Life

An article for Crikey, this time on the precedent setting legal action underway against Second Life creators Linden Lab. You can view it here.

Crikey: internet filtering

Crikey asked me to write a piece on the potential impact of the Federal Government’s internet filtering legislation on virtual worlds / online games. You can read it here.

Crikey: business and virtual worlds

A piece I wrote for Crikey appeared today, under the humourous title of Conroy yet to buy g-nitals in Second Life but business is booming.

You can read it in full here.

I’d also strongly recommend a Crikey daily email subscription – for a bit over $100 a year you get a daily email with some impressive stories. It’s a particular boon for politics junkies.

Robbie Bronnimann / Howard Jones

I spent last evening at Hornsby RSL Club, where Howard Jones was playing his second Sydney gig on his current tour. Having interviewed Howard prior to his 2007 tour, I was actually at the gig to interview Robbie Bronnimann.

That interview will be appearing in an upcoming issue of Australian Macworld, but here’s a short sample of Robbie, Howard and vocalist Laura Clapp at work:

Enjoy and thanks to Robbie Bronnimann for his time during a fairly frenetic setup and soundcheck.

Update:some superb photos of the gig taken by my colleague Graham Body can now be found here
