If you are a premium member and you haven’t visited one of Linden Lab’s premium gift kiosks recently, you may want to do so soon. I usually wind up forgetting about the premium gift and missing out, but I’m glad I actually picked this one up. As you are probably aware, I am a fan [...]
If you find yourself looking for old Burbclave Biz product listings on the SL Marketplace, you won’t be able to purchase them there. For now, my shop in Roclaren is the place to find them. They were all still magic box listings, and I’ve decided that the transition to direct delivery is as good as [...]
I got a pleasant surprise today as I went to log back in to second life. I opened up the Second Life viewer to find an updated log in screen. It is certainly the epitome of modern web design. Rounded corners… check. Large image-rich features section…check. Lots of featured destinations. Awesome. An upcoming events and [...]
When I announced the Mainland Renaissance Project just over a week ago, I had a renewed optimism for Second Life and high hopes about doing something good for the mainland. Unfortunately I didn’t anticipate being locked out of my account the next day, and potentially losing my account, my land, my creations, and a part [...]

I recently read an interesting discussion of scale in second life (tip of the hat to Tateru Nino for pointing it out).

It was refreshing not having to read through [...]
Often people (particularly people with little or no virtual world experience) talk about virtual worlds as things that take away from real life, but I’ve found at least one real world hobby thanks to a hobby I picked up in Second Life. This is a picture that I took with my digital camera from my [...]
A Teabagger and a Linden Lab apologist walked into a bar… Yep there it is. What’s that? Oh, you’re waiting for the punchline? OK, well the punchline is " I’m stumped. You tell me which is which." *crickets* OK, I confess. I didn’t find it funny either. I doubt that anyone who cares about U.S. [...]
If you have been paying attention to recent news in virtual worlds, you have probably discovered that this is every bit as true in virtual space as in real life. Among the many recent shifts: Second Life once again losing the CEO services of founder Philip Rosedale Second Life pulled the discount rug out from [...]
Since my last post was all about virtual nostalgia, I have decided to dedicate this one to renewal. It seems like an appropriate topic to cover since I’ve just switched hosts, and decided to re-theme this blog to celebrate. I’m also in the process of updating my brand, and developing some new projects that I [...]
