Saw a great video pop up on Digg a little while ago, less Mac-based then the last one, and this time proving that there is a point to Second Life (even if its not quite the samauri sword filled metaverse that we might have hoped for).

This video by Robbie Dingo is based on The Starry Night by Van Gogh, and underlines that not everything in Second Life is real.

Or something :-/

Update (2011) – sadly, the video has been removed from YouTube; but here is the link to Robbie’s Blog post which still contain some other links to download it
