'Do you see the light hovering overhead?' The street is vacant except for
the few lucky ones to experience its (the light's) beauty. Its been a long
journey
for the few of us (developers) to obtain its glory. 'No rules' I reply.
Our dream is becoming a reality. A Virtual World is born where developers
can build their own
small streets branching off the main one* (Snow Crash p.23). They are only
limited by the boundaries of their
imagination.
There are times that I forget that I am staring at a computer screen, where the
objects before
my eyes are computer-graphics protocol written down on a peice of paper
somewhere* (Snow Crash, p.23).
I can hardly wait to see who appears at the clubs tonite, with their
futuristic light shows,
or goto the park to meet new people.
The Virtual World is coming, do you see the light hovering overhead?

Snow falls gently upon the road
Yet the temperature is not cold
The road grows in size each day
with new tributaries going every which way
Buildings, sky scrapers, and monuments are within sight
Clubs and Concerts rock the night
