In the tiny town of Hollywood, Maryland, Rosedale's parents enrolled their bright boy in a Baptist trailer school, where a 26-year-old pastor preached fire and brimstone. As soon as he could write, Rosedale decided to copy the Scriptures. "I was like, 'I'm going to transcribe like the monks,' " he says, " 'I'm going to rewrite the Bible.' " [When it came to Second Life], they knew where they wanted to begin -- by simulating the seas. "We started with water," Rosedale says. "It was Genesis."

Both Steve Jobs and Dennis Ritchie died in October 2011. Not sure who Dennis Ritchie is? That's very sad. (._.)

Dennis Ritchie: IT pioneer (UNIX, C). Without his work, Jobs wouldn't have a job.

I'm sorry. I still read your name as Blubbersnort. I don't know why. I think it's kind of cute in a runny nosed giggle sort of way.
