Producer’s note: Unfortunately, there was a little more background noise for this recording than we usually have. We’ve worked hard and tried to eliminate most of it, but some still remains. We apologize if it makes listening a little distracting, but we felt the conversation was too interesting to let go. We hope you agree.

A great talk! I like this format, it is very entertaining. More like a radio show. And after all this talk about a 2nd Life – what about getting a first life: http://www.getafirstlife.com/
) … but i think everybody of the crew has a rich first life themselves.
I am looking forward to the next installment!
