Rik visited the homeless avatar: I decided to pop into SL to check it out. I found a bedraggled looking avatar sleeping in a cardboard box with a crude sign asking for donations. I stopped by his location on enroute to the Museums and Second Life meeting dropped some lindens in his donation box. There's YouTube video here.
