It's a sim-sized museum completely dedicated to the arts (and, it also hosts a corner of the SL Globe Theatre). Like all of my artistic projects on SL, it receives no external funding--its support comes ... http://blog.inacentaur.com/2010/02/01/primtings-campaign-2010/ I. Exordium What is a living creature? It responds to things, and it multiplies. From the perspective of computing, it's an entity that is capable of input and output, with a manner of self-propagation. Ah, propagation...

I won't be responding to any SL-related messages for some time. (I am still considering submissions for Primtings, however. Anne Hathaway's Cottage and Arden Forest additions to Shakespeare sim ... http://blog.inacentaur.com/2009/07/07/ina-is-awol/ It's true.
