The Infinite Mind in Second Life with Kurt Vonnegut
In August 2006, the national, weekly public radio program, The Infinite Mind, made broadcast history as it aired a four-part special taped inside the 3-D virtual on-line community Second Life. Among those interviewed in front of a live, virtual audience was author Kurt Vonnegut. The 40-minute conversation with Vonnegut was the author's last sit-down interview. The host was The Infinite Mind's John Hockenberry, who was with Vonnegut in the studio where the program was created. This is a machinima video of Vonnegut's interview, taped at the 16-acre virtual broadcast center in Second Life built by Lichtenstein Creative Media, which produces The Infinite Mind.

Fox News Obituary Trashes Kurt Vonnegut
The Fox News obituary of Kurt Vonnegut airing the day after his death seemed particularly harsh to me, but I may be especially sensitive because I'm a big Vonnegut fan. I've uploaded some clips from the Fox News obituary for you to see and decide for yourself.
FYI, I tracked down the origin of the ancient Greek admonition "Not to speak evil of the dead" to Diogenes Laertius quoting Chilon (pictured at the beginning of this video) quoting Aesop at: http://www.classicpersuasion.org/pw/diogenes/dlchilon.htm
The photo of Chilon itself comes from Nicolas at http://www.greecetaxi.gr and can be found at http://www.greecetaxi.gr/Philosophers/Gilon01.jpg
Finally, this video also qualifies as the latest addition to my YouTube playlist titled "Fox News Bias" at: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D
