Drax sent me the above video, which is a nice way to tie this to the Copenhagen conference 🙂 What amazes me is the quality of the video overall — specially in these days where so many people still think that the SL rendering engine is “outdated” and such. You […]

I can’t stop watching this one. Ill Clan, you guys are amazing! Forget the stupid comments on that video 🙂 and just enjoy the experience… More videos from Linden Lab.
I’ve written a few thoughts on my other blog about LL’s announced policy changes for XStreetSL, the value of items in Second Life, and why I seriously think that the freebie/dollarbie economy is not such a good think after all, in spite of Dusan Writer’s belief that it is ultimately […]
I’ve been accused of being “too gentle” with BBC and their intern, Lauren Hansen… but Heather Michon hasn’t been, nor Hamlet Au. BBC hasn’t yet added any comments new on the past two days, which just shows the kind of reaction they’re getting about their article 🙂
You might have read by now BBC’s shockingly poor article on Second Life (yes, it’s another one of those “SL is dead” articles). It might shock you even more to know that M Linden had given them an interview which was mostly neglected and ignored; Linden Lab graciously published the […]
… while I attend the Beta Business Park Fall 2009 Conference on Leadership in Business, organised by Beta Technologies. It’s free to attend, so you’re welcome to meet me there 🙂
Is Linden Lab losing their vision, or at least their visionary? Without his resident visionary, will Linden Lab develop Second Life® further to reach the goal of becoming “a marketplace that could sustain hundreds of millions of players” and “[…] connect us all to an online world that advances the […]
Top virtual worlds blogs I have no idea of who among you voted for my blog on the “Top virtual worlds blogs” list for the Daily Reviewer (I didn’t even know that existed at all!) but I would like to thank you a lot for your vote!
So how do you get hundreds of researchers to simultaneously present their papers at different places in the world, on a conference spanning the globe? The ingenuous solution: use Second Life. Starting today, and going on until the 26th, SLactions is live. Researchers in virtual worlds all over the world […]
It’s today! And if you still don’t know how to talk like a pirate, nothing like getting one Pirate Translator HUD, like my own GUUD Simple Pirate Translator 1.0, available from XStreetSL and a few scattered in-world locations for your pleasure: Colonia Nova Ross Io Then take a look at […]
Ready to admire some creative work in accessories for your beloved avatar? Well, what better opportunity but to take a jump to the Jewelry Fair 2009, which opens today 🙂 … there go my few remaining L$, lol. Ah well. Most of it goes to charity anyway.
TEDxEdges (http://tedxedges.com) is TED‘s programme for local initiatives, where a conference takes place in a specific country of region, following in general the same format and with the same quality of the ever so popular TED Talks, but independently organised. Tomorrow, September 18th, they will be physically in Lisbon, Portugal, […]
Contrary to some observations, Second Life has not been “abandoned” by all those high-profile companies. They’re still around, just more cautious about the media splash they generate. Amazon.com announced their Second Life Job Fair, starting today (July 14, 2009), which has been covered by Hamlet Au on New World Notes […]
