News flash: Residents can breathe (slightly) easier around streaming video frames now. Apple’s released a new version of QuickTime (Ver. 7.3.1), which should take care of the security flaw announced last week. Fly, don’t run or walk, to apple.com, and download the appropriate version.

I’ve been checking out my fellow Second Life bloggers since I started this journal; an easy thing to do with the tagging function of WordPress. And I’m becoming convinced that gridbloggers (a new term! a neologism!!) prove something of the exception to Sturgeon’s Law that 90% of everything is crap. I’ve read only a few posts that were bad so far.
I found recently an article on Karasu talking about “Ethical Dilemmas.” In this piece, Kara talks about how she has fallen into a heart-tugging quandary. She has “a good rl including a committed relationship” (sic). She had no plans to get into a commitment on the Grid — and yet has acquired herself a companion for whom she feels deeply. She goes on to ask the questions many another avatar has pondered since the Grid first rezzed into being, and even more questions besides. Should I tell my RL lover? What do I tell my RL lover?? If you have no real physical contact, is it really sex — or even a relationship? And what about if you’re a member of more than one virtual reality world, and have a lover in each of them…? [1]
