I’m taking a breather from campaign-related posts for a minute to just talk about a couple of things on my mind.
First of all, congratulations to Chelle and Danielle for scoring a couple of the DJ slots at the Second Life Community Convention. I don’t know whether these will be RL performances, SL performances, or both, [...]
There have been many twists and turns in my Second Life of late, which will probably be of interest to very few, but which I offer up here by way of explanation for the lack of new content at this address. Some of this, Danielle has already written about, so you can consult with her [...]
I try to steer clear of First Life politics here on this blog, because this is supposed to be a Second Life blog, and I have plenty of other outlets for political bloviation. However, an issue has come up which is, as I see it, of critical importance to the Grid as a whole.
Currently [...]
After a day spent in RL, opening presents, eating, and doing all that typical Christmas stuff, I logged into SL to take care of some errands like tier payments. While I was there, chatting with Danielle and the Stovalls, who had also logged in, one of our friends, Cat Gisel, sent me a notecard [...]
TIME Magazine has just announced its “Person of the Year” for 2006. And that person is…you.
Yeah, you.
And we of the Grid get a good mention…
And we didn’t just watch, we also worked. Like crazy. We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded podcasts. We blogged about our [...]
Family matters necessitate that I travel out to California for a few days…during which time I expect that I’ll be out of touch with even quotidian Web sites and E-mail, let alone the Grid. However, hope springs eternal, and I’ll be bringing the client install files for Windows and Mac OS X tucked away on [...]
I was over at the Cutlass Club helping them fix their music changer when I got a call from Danielle…her house burned down. As a result, she’s cut off from SL for a while, possibly indefinitely. While there is Internet at the hotel she’s at at the moment, one of her computers is [...]
I’m a little burnt right now, and the burnt-age only looks to get worse over the next couple of weeks, thanks to a product in beta, an upcoming trade show, and Someone Who Must Be Placated. But I thought I’d share an observation with you.
I’ve been playing a little tune by the Norwegian group [...]
As a postscript to Mera’s entire purple episode, I offer this small token: a poem written by my RL wife Pamela, entitled “Is Purple.” The poem is about purple, but it’s mainly about passion…and I think that’s one quality Mera has for her work and her Second Life.
Three o’five A.M. the freedom
Of wonder

Since Electric Minds is now back up, I will point all of you to my earlier chronicles of adventure in Second Life, which I posted in this topic (this link starts you from the beginning). It’s worth reading, if only for hysterical raisins.
I’ll probably continue posting in that topic from time to time, but [...]
