Hey, who's that over there? It's me. Well, virtual me.

That's my Second Life avatar, created for me by the fine folks at Virtually Speaking.

Second Life is a free 3D virtual world where all sorts of interesting things go on -- including, apparently, public affairs talk shows. And I'll be the guest on one tonight at 9 p.m. ET.

Join me either in Second Life at the Virtually Speaking Studio, or -- if you're not a Second Lifer -- you can still listen in on BlogTalk Radio. And you can call in from the "real" world, at 646.200.3440.
