Meeting Emmerson was one of those serendipitous events we look back on and smile. Describing him would not do justice to his personna, so instead I simply posted a picture. This is Emmerson’s place. I believe it to be under construction, but from what I am able to surmise, it will be the coziest place (I hesitate to call it a junk yard) I have yet to see in SL. Why? Well, the overall design in set in place so that avatars may move about freely without ceiling constraints, for one, and the “walls” are more like caves, with nooks and crannies, where you can go play hide and seek indefinitely. This is very important for a noobish avatar handler like myself. I constantly bump my camera against ceilings, and not doing so for once inside a home, was liberating. While the rest of us suckers try to emulate the environments that we have seen in RL to SL dimensions, Em sits back and enjoys life in his forest of rusting surfaces.

Update: Emmerson’s site has undergone a post-apocalyptic remodeling and is no longer the open space mentioned above…
