1. scan my interest list and pick out the one that seems the most odd to you.
2. i'll explain it.
3. then you post this in your journal so other people can ask you about your interests.

cyburbia is a term I've heard once or twice and that fits something I'm referring to in much of my artwork...the mimicking of familiar spaces and communities in cyberspace but with greater connectivity and freedoms inherent in the new medium. Issues of density and organization online fascinate me and I can find ENDLESS inspiration in just contemplating this aerial map (http://www.digitalspace.com/avatars/book/chtu/bigal.gif) of the online virtual world 'alphaworld' and it's growth patterns over the years.
Parts of secondlife.com (http://www.secondlife.com) have been built in this way attempting to control and order growth in certain areas to achieve a specific aesthetic...much like suburban planning in real life. Similar concerns come to the fore. Zoning etc. interesting to watch.
