Here’s how Linden Lab described Joe Miller:
Joe Miller has been at Linden Lab for 5 years and oversees Second Life client software including Viewer 2, the open development program, technology partnerships, and next generation technologies. He has spent nearly 30 years squarely at the intersection of engaging consumer experiences and interactive technologies, including senior executive positions at Atari, Koala Technologies, Epyx, Convergent, and Sega of America. He was a founder and CEO of the Knowledge Universe Interactive Studio, and President of MindQ Publishing–two companies focused on lifelong learning services and applications. Prior to joining Linden Lab, Miller’s product design company, Perilux Group, was developed several award winning products now offered by LeapFrog, Bright Things, Apple, and Fitniks. His diverse career started at Battelle Memorial Institute, where he created a portion of the developer training curriculum for the PLATO educational network. He also was a co-founder and president of CyberVision, Inc., the developer and manufacturer of the CyberVision home computer.
That brings us to 257 Linden accounts, down 1 from 258 last week.
