A Machinima Peek at Global Kids Islands – Second Life Insider:
The Teen Grid, however, inspired me. Most of the content on the islands is teen created. For example, for the one year birthday of Global Kids, they held a contest where you could win 1000L for designing the best birthday cake. Ryan Dayton actually made a surprising amount of the content, so I definitely look forward to seeing what he can do on the Main Grid.

This should inspire and awaken everyone to the possibilities of second life for cosmopolitan change. These ‘kids’ are awesome and the globalkids project is clearly one of the best demonstrations of the possibilities of secondlife for the future. They bring kids together to learn and work together, to make the world and have fun.

Second Life Herald:
When I first came to Second Life, the idea of a virtual relationship never even occurred to me. SL was a strange landscape of bizarre places to explore where I could be anything or anyone I wanted. But then after a week something happened that completely changed my view of the virtual world. I was walking around a Welcome Area with a helmet head of hair and a blank newbie face stumbling into other blank newbies all wearing the same Linden issued clothes when through the crowd, I saw a beautiful female avatar like I had never seen before.

this is the funniest sl article i’ve read in a while.

Janor’s List of The Very Cool – February 2007:
A Very Cool place temple…Temple at Kula – It’s really only a temple in that it mimics Greek architecture. It’s still a pretty cool build, though.Pictures of the Temple at Kula

Apparently Janor likes the temple that I built…

there was a spontaneous art event in kula last night

it happened entirely accidentally, in part due to the metaverse meetup people i’ve met

one of them introduced me to this artist sandhya2 patel who wanted to show us her art, but did not have enough prims to show it all at once, so i invited her to kula 2, one of Joi Ito’s islands

Then i invited a few people to see it,… and then more showed up, and people were still showing up later.

This seems to sort of indicate the double nature of second life… on one level it is all about the social interaction… on the other level it is a few thousand little egos looking for love or satisfaction of some sort. When things don’t work out, they do not always act wisely…
