Welcome to the Real World
It was so great seeing Tizzy yesterday… my head’s still spinning over how awesome her new video is.

And today I saw the above video from CNN Money.

What a pair of bookends!
The guy who walks away from a job at Merrill Lynch to sell virtual real estate, and the woman who keeps coming back to a world that tries to walk away from her.
The capitalist and the hacktivist.
The profit motive and the aesthetic impulse.
Real money and real cultural values.
Real people building a bridge to the future even as they walk across it.
Welcome to the new world.
Welcome to the craggy, nutrient-rich shores of the third millennium.
Welcome to the real world.
