I have been feeling very "furry" lately, and decided to get a dragon avatar today.  I discovered Valyen Yin’s wonderful furry dragons that she sells over at her store (click here to teleport). Extremely cute, and very reasonably priced.  I particularly like the wings and how they flap when you are flying.

Posted on May 5, 2008 by

Just got back from a sneak preview of "Speed Racer" the movie courtesy of a friend of mine (thanks, Amira!).  As the first film directed by the Wachowski brothers since the "Matrix" series, "Speed Racer" has had big expectations riding with it.

My friend Amy has a neat article in the Poughkeepsie Journal about the real estate market in Second Life that I have a couple of quotes in.  It’s a good summary of how real estate works in virtual worlds from a variety of perspectives — land owner, home owner, university, and non-profit.  And she managed…

Whyville and virtual world elitism

Posted on May 2, 2008 by

As an active resident of Second Life, with only passing experience with other virtual worlds, I’m as guilty as others of "home town" boosterism.  I.e. looking at There.com, ActiveWorlds, Habbo Hotel, etc as lesser locales in comparison to Second Life.  It’s as natural as my tendencies to feel like New York is the center of…
