the law in second life

I've been meaning to post this for quite a while: In January, my friend Ben launched Virtually Blind, a blog covering the "justice, law, and politics of virtual worlds." You might not think there'd be a whole lot to say here, or that it'd tend to be a pretty dry topic, but Ben's been on a roll since he started, posting all sorts of well-thought out (and witty) insights into how the law affects technology and vice versa.

where to put your money

UniversalGiving looks interesting: It's a charity site that lets you select exactly what project or gift package you want your money to go toward.

For instance, if healthcare in developing nations is a cause you're particularly interested in funding, you can donate $50 to "provide a birth kit to a Tibetan woman and her unborn child." And UniversalGiving says they don't take a cut of your donation.

Reminds me of Kiva, but with a focus on helping you find and fund the what instead of the who.
