Categories: off the shelf

This Sunday on Off the Shelf, Simeon and I will interview one of Second Life’s most iconic personalities — Crap Mariner. Podcaster, live music enthusiast, and author, Crap is one of the most recognized robots on the grid. We are going to talk with him about his 100 word stories and anything else we can get him to admit to writing. I’m sure we’ll talk about Linden Labs, marketing in virtual worlds, the play he is performing in, and a few topics that will take us all by surprise.

Join us in the Off the Shelf podcast studio on Sunday, April 11 at 1 p.m. SLT/PDT.
