Are repressive labor laws and expensive real estate getting in the way of owning your very own sweatshop? With this simple and effective training video, learn how to virtually produce your dream product with telematic manufacturing.
As we finish our first mega-successful season at Double Happiness Manufacturing in Second Life and in real life at the Sundance Film Festival, we want to take an evening to celebrate our loyal workers, our amazing builder, Nix Sands, and our talented documentarian, Xantherus Halberd. Without you guys, this project could not have happened, and we are very grateful to all of you for taking part. So Doctor, Torin, and I will be hosting a party at “The Warehouse” on Eyebeam Island in Second Life (slurl) tonight Friday, January 25th, with DJ Astrud Sands.
