April 19th, 2008 - Circled R

I need to figure out what to do about that circled R that accompanies many instances of the phrase Second Life. Any ideas? Anyone?

I need to write a paper today for the IIWIS, a pre-ECIS workshop, being organized by the IAIS. It's due tomorrow. I always intended to write it at the last minute. But this isn't funny. My TOC looks like:

SYNTHETIC WORLDS: AN OVERVIEW

1 INTRODUCTION

2 HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF SYNTHETIC WORLDS

2.1.2 MMORPG – Or just call me MOO!

6 CONCLUSION

It's the first time I've used Synthetic Worlds rather than Virtual Worlds. It's been a very conscious decision: 'virtual' is just too ambiguous.
