Tonight I managed to catch most of a special Future Salon discussion and machinima movie viewing in Second Life featuring Paul Marino, head of the Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences, founder of Ill Clan Productions and most importantly my roommate.  In typical SL mind-bending fashion, I was sitting in the living room of our…
