For those who don't know, Mike Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services, has a blog. What I didn't know, but learned at the Kaiser panel today, was that someone from his office had also held a HHS Question and Answer session in Second Life. Using an avatar. I've been doing panel on the topic of "so you're a blogger? That's sort of weird" since 2003. But finally there's something in the room a whole helluva lot weirder than blogs. I mean, back in my day, we just wrote under pen names. Now folks are using pen bodies!
