I am off on a trip right now, so my time in Second Life has been very limited. I haven't stopped at the State Fair since it opened, I hope it is going well. I haven't been following the latest drama in the Second Life stock exchanges, other than to catch comments that everyone is suggesting that notorious scam artists are back in the form of whomever they are currently feuding with. These suggestions have spilled over to alternative grids, including allegations that one of the new grids is actually being run by a particularly notorious scam artist.

Meanwhile, Paulo Casaca, the first member of the European Parliament who has started using Second Life publicly will be in world today at noon, SLT, to talk about the CIA Flights to Guantanamo. The talk is aimed at students, teachers and the press. If you are interested in attending, please contact Irah Anatine.

Also, the Foundation for Rich Content has announced that it will be offering three grants, up to L$ 25,000 each for projects "that would enrich the lives of SL residents". Proposals can be sent to Persephone Phoenix by March 15th.

With all the other things going on right now, I've moved many of my articles about Second Life off of the front page of my blog. You can still find them in the Games section of the blog. Follow that link for all of my Second Life related articles.
