well guess where we spend time this weekend

Irony strikes twice, firstly in the fact that some of my friends and I wanted to start something like this in our private time during Wednesday evenings in what we called the Wednesday Evening Club (WEC). Workers is South Africa is sometime pronounced Weckers, so it had a nice ring to it. Anyway we, our company develops fleet management and vehicle telematics systems and we wanted to find a fun way of fusing the real world experience of driving around the world with GPS tracking and a virtual world. This concept is probably still quite novel. And I probably should go ahead and patent it before someone else does. That brings me to the absurd world of patents. I understand that there is a place for it, but there is also an enourmous rediculous loop hole for useless opportunists that cannot invent but knows to steal extant invensions and make a racket and a lot of money in out-of-court settlements. Now that is a virtual reality world I do not want to be part off at all. Another related virtual world is that which Albert Einstein and many other super humans have suffered from and that is the world of not being understood by the real world. Anyway enough of that. So I stumbled upon my second life by catching up on some Google tech videos. If you want to join start here: Let me invite you to Second Life. See you there, my name is Yi Xi. Welcome!
