WINNIPEG A Glenn Gould album on vinyl that was checked out over 30 years ago has made its way back to the Winnipeg Public Library. The library posted over the weekend that a copy of “The Glenn Gould Legacy,” checked out in February 1989, was returned to the Louis Riel Library branch at some point last week. “The fact that somebody took the time to return something to us, I mean, that’s a tremendous gift that someone would find this item,” said Barbara Bourrier-LaCroix, acting administrative coordinator for virtual services. “Regardless of how old it was, to still return to us, it shows that they really still care about the library.”

Genies, an avatar company, is capitalizing on a growing market for virtual goods.
The company helps celebrities sell digital goods via their avatars, which people can then resell. We think the digital goods economy is just getting started, Nigam said.
Sometimes, it takes a digital alter ego to show off one s true self. At least that s what Genies, an avatar technology company that has raised $41.8 million, is banking on.
Genies, which helps users customize their own avatars to use across the metaverse, lives in the nexus between virtual and physical realities. The avatars, while similar to Bitmoji in concept, feature a more detailed design. And unlike its would-be competitor, Genies also takes the concept of virtual identity to the next level, offering its users the chance to buy and sell digital goods and avatar adornments in a marketplace format.
