Comment Strolling to Work (Score 1) 887

Yep I walk. Have had the luxory to walk to class and then later to work for almost 20 years. I work at a university and live about 6 blocks away and have more or less since I was a student at the university I work at now.

I bought my first parking permit last summer. Walking in the winter is starting to get kind of old and I wanted the option to drive if I wished. So far this bitter winter I've driven four times. Walking is still more convenient most of the time.

Surprised that wasn't one of the options but I suppose there might not really be that many people who have that option today.

Exactly, that is the way I was reading it also. I'd love to be able to travel from World of Warcraft to Entropia Universe to Second Life to whatever and keep my avatar name, profile, and some other misc info I've added to all my accounts. It'd be pretty neat if I could also walk into some kind of teleporter or portal to transfer from one to the other and that would cause the software necessary to enter that world to fire up and shutdown the other worlds software or leave it open I guess.

Something like Second Life SLURL's which allow one to add a URL to a web page that will ultimately take you to a location in Second Life by firing up the the Second Life client and take you to the location.

It's not really a big hassle to fire up each client but it would be cool. As far as carrying my info from world to world that would be way cool along with my payment info. Granted that would be another whole kettle of fish.

The future does look bright and yes I do wear shades!
