Second Life
Long ago, I predicted that there was an untapped marked for virtual worlds where people could create their own stuff. More than a handful of geeks scoffed at mybelief, dissing stuff like VRML "it's not anything lie doom" "why would you want to build anything and not kill stuff", etc.
But I believed. And after all these years, I've finally found Second Life [link]http://www.secondlife.com[/link] I'm happy that reality is finally catching up to my ideas about the world. About damn time.
Building stuff out of legos kicks ass, and I really want to learn how to program cool stuff, because it sounds interesting and because you can actually make money at it.
My craziest idea would be recreating a Elmwood Strip/Village/whatever, but that would require a ton of $$$ to buy land with. Maybe I should settle for my slightly less crazy idea of creating a small (e:strip) area.

You can read about it at :::link::: I mostly made the cash selling scripted bongs before many people knew how to script. Then scripted disco balls and bracelets that made groups of people wearing them do the same dance when near the disco ball. Oh and pet flying turtles I made so much money that I aquired tons of land some of which got designated a war zone which made me insane. So I started a campaign for a secondlife referendum against violence and eventually got in trouble with the company.
In the end I traded my success in land acquisition for about $300 US. I still think I have land and money unless there is some sort of expiration on it.
In fact I have a lifetime account from being a beta tester, mAybe I will play it again.

One of the art students from the class started an online business selling avatars.
