Second Life spun out of the Graceful Decay project.  As a society, we tend to discard far too much.  There are certain objects, though, that end up being reused and resold in places like antique malls.  I can't explain why, but I've always loved going to these places to get a glimpse into other people's lives and into life decades ago.  Long term, I'm not sure where this project is going, but I'm having fun with it!
