Today in Second Life
Outside my real life window the snow is falling. Kim has been fighting a cold and wanted to do something simple but fun with Fiona, so they have headed off to the movies. As always, my inbox is full of interesting things to respond to. On the Second Life Educators list, there has been a discussion about Second Inventory. It looks like it could be a great tool, and potentially very useful in moving objects between grids. I’m going to test it out when I get a chance. There has also been an interesting discussion about avatars, which deserves a post of its own, later.
Meanwhile, the SL’ang Life Health Care Day is taking place from 9 am to 5:30 PM SLT. I’m currently attending it, listening to a discussion about Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and support groups in Second Life. At 1 PM SLT, Sanity Inn will perform as part of Health Care Day. At 1 PM SLT, there will also be a Central Grid meeting. I’ll probably miss this, but I am planning on slipping out at 2 PM SLT to attend a friends wedding in Second Life.
This is a friend that I originally met at a journalism conference. We have several overlapping interests, Second Life being one of them, and I look forward to attending her virtual wedding. Kim and I were married in LambdaMOO, a few days before our face to face wedding. It will be interesting to see how virtual weddings have evolved since then.
Later in the day, some friends from the campaign trail, that I’ve also spent time with in Second Life are having a house party. I intend to stop in on that as well. Finally, tomorrow at 1 pm SLT, Walt Ireton will have a photography show at Not Too Hot. I missed his gallery opening, but I really like his work and I hope I can stop in at the Not Too Hot event tomorrow.
More soon…
