About the Author :
Sarah "Intellagirl" Robbins is the Director of Emerging Technologies for Media Sauce (www.mediasauce.com) in Carmel, Indiana, as well as a Ph.D. candidate in Rhetoric at Ball State University, where she teaches Rhetoric and Composition by using Second Life. She currently spends her time blogging at Ubernoggin.com and researching technology trends for education and marketing. She's frequently on the go, giving talks all over the country about Second Life and Web 2.0 topics. Sarah is the proud mother of five-year-old triplets (Morrigan, Teagan, and Xander), who recognize her avatar as "Mommy!" When she's not hanging with the munchkins, she's reading a few hundred blogs daily, attending seminars, knitting, and collecting socks. And yes, she does have pink hair in real life, too! Mark Bell is a Ph.D. student in Telecommunications at Indiana University, where he studies social networks in virtual worlds with the Synthetic Worlds Initiative. Before going back to school, Mark spent 14 years in the software industry as a trainer, a documentation specialist, and an all-about super geek. He is a Canadian transplant in Hoosier Land and gets back across the border north (where they understand "real sports") as often as he can. Mark is the father of Jackson, who is five. Mark blogs at Storygeek.com In their "free" time, Mark and Sarah run the Second Life Researcher's List (SLRL), throw parties for their starving grad student friends, and play Wii games with four five-year-olds.
