If that is in the works remains to be seen. Cory's departure of Linden Lab in December 2007 was not one of his own choice. No, it was Philip himself who decided that they should part their ways over irreconcilable differences on how Linden Lab should be run.http://secondslog.blogspot.com/2010/06/will-cory-ondrejka-return.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Frans Charming)11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16907494.post-9034877130678236830Fri, 25 Jun 2010 08:54:00 +00002010-06-25T01:55:11.730-07:00While Mark Kingdon was scheduled to speak, Philip Rosedale was suprisingly filling in for Mark, because of a emergency at the Lab.
