worlds collide

The BBC has an island: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4766755.stm

And the RL (that's "real life") conference BarCamp now has a SL analog; here's a write-up on Laughing Squid: http://laughingsquid.com/2006/05/18/barcamp-second-life/

Granted, BarCamp's pretty geeky to begin with. But the BBC? A delightful surprise.
