Got Virtual Fire?

December 2, 2008 1:58 am

If this isn’t futuristic, I don’t know what is. An awesome blonde blend of Hackers, Mad Max and Fashion Shoot gone terribly wrong. Mr Philip Rosedale - aka Philip Linden - at the ‘real’ Burning Man 2008 as shot by ‘Gabe Kirchheimer‘.

How much would you rate our ex-CEO? A 7? At least? And do we qualify this ‘SFW’? :D

Hat Tip to Opensource Obscure!
You made our virtual day! ;)

I’m sorry. One word springs to mind looking at that photo…..

….”geek”….

The headset and laptop on the beach are bad enough….but the silver “superman” cape? Can the man not invest in a decent sun block?? :)

It’s Burning Man. I think you get a “pass” to look as outrĂ© as you like. Even if it’s cybergeek outrĂ©. Besides, I think he looks kinda hot. And strangely, a little like Sting!

Okay, that picture just cracks me up! And besides we can’t rate his hotness until we know whether or not he’s a fan of Autechre.

Nothing strange at all, if you remember what Philip said in some interview, that Second Life was created to replicate the mood and feel of Burning Man Festival in virtual ….So i’m happy to see that he’s still loyal to his principles ! Long Life and prosper!

Cristian, You probably missed the most recent interviews with M Linden, where Second Life is being tailored into a ‘business solution’. Not sure how keen businesses are on the whole burning man atmosphere, ethics, and so forth. Let alone that this _is_ a nipple in what one could consider a PG area! ;)

As Myg suggested, postponing ‘judgement’ until we know if ‘Phil’ likes Autechre or not.

Philip is evidence-in-the-flesh that Man can be both deeply sexy and outrageously hilarious at the same time. I give him at least 5 (out of 5) stars.

Cyber Superman, stoned out of his mind, possibly cybering with you or me through one of his many “alts.”
