Here in Oz, the nation is mourning the loss of their favourite croc hunter Steve Irwin, who died earlier this month on an adventure in the Great Barrier Reef. I'll be heading up to his home patch north of Brisbane in a couple of days where a memorial service is happening later this week, but before I go rest real flowers at his nature park, I thought I'd highlight that players in World of Warcraft and Residents of Second Life have held cool events to pay respect to him in the virtual world.
Once again, I'm amazed by the sense of community in these places.
More on in-world memorials here, here, here and (an overview) here.
