Is Dubya secretly an online gamer? Nah, I'm kidding.

This week, someone with a "sociologist" tag logged into Second Life and teleported to my daughter's virtual coffee house to check out Open Mic Night for live musicians. It's interesting to note how someone would announce so publicly that he was there for research. I felt a little under the microscope, but after the first performer started to strum his guitar and sing over the streaming audio channel, I forgot about my odd guest.
