EYES ON THE PRIZE?

When Arin Enfield glanced at the sun this morning he squinted and did a double take, because it looked like there was man with a dream staring down from it.

"Thought my mind was playing tricks on me," he admits laughing. "Gotta watch out for those subliminal suggestions." I flew toward the sun to see for myself, and confirm that it wasn't subliminal, nor a trick of the brain.

"I thought it was a very cool gesture," Enfield tells me. "I know politics is touchy [subject] in here, but hey, it is a national holiday in [the] United States." And since I happen to be in the Linden Lab office today, I could walk down the hall, asking who put Martin Luther King Jr. in the sun, but I suppose that'd be missing the point. I guess the idea is to always have him on your periphery today, and if you do notice him there, take some time to contemplate why he is.

Then again, I checked the Events for the day, and while there were dozens, advertising casino games and clothing-optional hot body contests, and so on, I didn't find any related to the holiday. Quite a change from a couple years back, when the world, far smaller than it is today, still held a memorial in his honor-- and a well-attended one at that.

And the fact that there aren't any announced now, least that I can see-- well, that's worth thinking about, too.
