Talk about Coincidences; Web 2.0; Second Life
So the other day I'm clamouring through my computer stuff (trying to restore my external HDD) when I come across Caesar II, a game I really enjoyed some ten years ago. In Caesar, you are a Roman Provincial Governor that is tasked with building a city and protecting a province (image: hours of time spent responding to the call "plebs are needed" and wondering why the trade ships were taking so long to arrive).
Today I find out that Caesar IV is being released! I wonder if Karina would mind being a widow to the Legions of Rome? These city-builder games are so addictive to me...
At work I've been tasked with finding some Web 2.0 mashups for our FXTrade platform. Asking around (thanks MkWtrsn), I now have a few "way out there" ideas ... this is real "out of the box" type stuff, but could be very interesting to develop.
On another note, I suggest the tech savvy check out Second Life [summary article] if they haven't had a chance... if this the future of e-commerce? Virtual communities and economies are a very interesting study. Perhaps I should spend some time creating a virtual store for some passive income.
