There’s always somebody who wants to keep doing it OLD SKOOL online. You rock, little Super Mario dude! There were several good-natured “protesters” at tonight’s #SL8B event, which featured an appearance by Rod Humble/Rodvik Linden, CEO of Second Life (but no speech). Meanwhile, there seemed to be some feeling about that people are a little nervous about the coming meshy apocalypse. Second Life: Repent ye Sinners, MESH is Coming, originally uploaded by Lelani Carver.

Mr Dhughan! You are a tiny but very fast snail with a top hat and wand! Magical! Mistletoe covered some aspects of what’s going on with this year’s #SL8B celebration – she’s systematically discussed some of the features of the best and weakest exhibits or builds. It’s a huge deal in Second Life, and there are a number of different sims with many 1024m plots. For all that, some builders achieve amazing things with a little, and some builders achieve… less with too much. I’m pretty much in agreement with Mist on her points, including: The Best Builds: Immediately answered…

Last night’s Tunaverse Odd Ball was really nice; they had Jana Kyomoon DJing her own compositions. She was logged in from the UK (at THREE AM her time) for a 2 hour set and remarked that the sun was coming up as she wrapped up. I was still having audio issues with the latest Imprudence build (sometimes it works, sometimes not) and after finishing up some more sorting (boring! Relaxing! Worth the effort!) I logged in under Viewer 2 (which has a newer version again). I like Imprudence but do like some of V2’s features aside from a few niggling…

Oh, wait, this is Fraud PREVENTION. Sorry, @SecondLie, thought it seemed to good to be true. According to this, I’m qualified – if a year spent in AOHell as a Help Team chatmonkey a decade ago counts. And now I wonder if SL is being uncharacteristically proactive about online casinos in 3D metaverses…. Naaaaah. Excellent communication skills, and in particular, to be superb at social interaction whether it be in world, chat, on the telephone or in writing. Able to multi-task, work under pressure and communicate with multiple individuals at once. Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team,…

I listened to this story and was mostly happy with the coverage and explanations of what Second Life is, and isn’t. As I’m currently easing back into things inworld (totally snarled up with inventory reorganization stalled), it was an interesting RL take on SL conventions. Filmmaker Jason Spingarn-Koff has made a documentary about the online virtual world Second Life. His film follows people who’ve gotten hooked on the game, people who use it to make a living, to escape themselves, and to commit infidelity. Bob talks to Spingarn-Koff about his film. Via On The Media Lelani Carver is a Steampunk…
