I have played Arcade Fire’s new single several times now, because I have become ensnared in the online multimedia object that accompanies it. (I am not sure what the correct term is, but I am sure that “video” is the wrong term.) If you have access to Google Chrome you can do the same thing.
In the past few days there has been a spate of announcements by businesses of one sort and another to the effect that they are opening branches in Second Life.

This morning I found out about the new beta version of the Second Life Viewer 2. It is now available for download.

I shall continue to use it as my viewer until I find a reason not to.
