I talk today about my day so far and the fact I'm going on a trip back to Minnesota to visit my folks and that it is a test of sorts to see if I can still enjoy myself in a state I haven't lived in for almost 10 years.

The second half of the show deals with something Inny Colo, who is a friend of mine in the City of Losy Angels on Second Life mentioned to me and that there is now supposedly a thing in SL that hypnotizes you in a way that you literally become your character. You don't change physically but your mind believes what is happening in the game is what is happening to you.

This can be dangerous in my mind for various reasons. How would your body cope to changes from your biological form. How would it treat being a furry, or having a tail, tentacles, even being a different gender? Wouldn't that cause serious confusion in the body?

And what happens in a combat sim? What if you end up being killed after being pumped full of lead. How would your body react to that?

It is an insanely interesting idea, but I have to wonder if we're ready for it yet.
