yesterday's discussion had a heated discussion about:
a. the merits of using the web in world
b. how one goes about moving data in and out of the world using http
put and get
c. what we can learn from Second Life's intellectual property regime
and how one can appropriate/liberate textures for artistic and
educational uses.

Words are things; and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a
thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions,
think. --Byron
