Frantic Mantis hopes to do some more recording in May.

The country of Sweden is opening an embassy in Second Life! It appears that these virtual worlds are just as valid as any other "place" for representing countries and their ideologies. Apparently the USA has a division devoted to new media technologies as well, which makes me wonder what the future will be like... people working online and bordless economies with countries attempting to regulate. Many questions to be answered.
