Perhaps a dumb or interpretted as a smartass question, Is this  
lecture going to be simultaneously held in Second Life?

I don't use that program but one of my colleagues here in Charlotte  
is pretty psyched about this idea when it comes to distance ed or  
collaborative education. I'd like to fwd this to them & save them the  
drive up.
