For a brief moment, earlier today, it felt like I was catching up. Sure there were over 1,000 unread emails in my inbox, but I had gotten done the tasks that needed to get done and I could sit down and start looking through the pile of emails that have piled up and select the next tasks to tackle.

One of those emails, however, was from the lawyer for the foreclosure, so I felt I needed to write a little bit about that. Then, I got an IM in Second Life about the film shoot folks from TechSoup were doing in response to the Daily Show episode, Avatar Heroes. I’ve already written up my article about Avatar Heroes for SLNN.COM. I figured I should go and join the TechSoup folks. I participated in a dolphin avatar shape, and it strikes me that I need to form an organization, Dolphin Shaped Reporters of Second Life. Right now, I think it is just me and Rob Riggle. If there are any other Dolphin Shaped Reporters in Second Life, please let me know.

(You can see a few pictures I took at Avatar Heroes on Flickr.)

In other things, I’ve spent a bit of time working on a Drupal 6 installation. It has been fun mixing together pieces of the VotingAPI and Fivestar module, with the profile module and attempting to add Views into the mix. Unfortunately, Views doesn’t work well with VotingAPI in Drupal 6, so I had to roll a couple blocks of my own.

Soon, I will ran off to pick up our Community Supported Agriculture box and then take Fiona to her swimming lesson. When I get back, I need to do an interview or two in Second Life, so I guess the queue of unread emails will just have to grow a little more before I can dig into it.
