Tom wrote yesterday about his appearance back in October 2005 in Second Life: A second look at Second Life.
He didn't have the link to the spot on NPR that included a short interview (at 4:25) with him on his appearance, but our loyal readers took care of that: Visiting the 'Second Life' World: Virtual Hype?
