Happy Up Coming New Years. So many more grids to explore. So little time to do it in. Linden Labs has a new CEO, is merging the teen grid, will introduce mesh to our world. Also, we'll have more group space added to our profiles. Not as much as Meta7, but it'll do. So starting out the new year right in SL. Meta7 is re a-ranging the sims so that all the adult stuff is on another grid and the rest will be on another. They still have bugs and kinks to work out of the grid, but things are looking up. OS Grid is introducing mesh. In Worldz is moving along good. IW is growing by leaps and bounds. What's my next grid? I donno.

I just got myself a bitch'n laptop. Now I can read all the blogs, check my twitters, my plurks, tubes and hop into Second Life when ever I want to. Like right now......

Happy Rezzday to me I've learn how to peee I'm not a newbie Happy Rezzday to me Somehow I don't feel to happy.... 1,095 days old now.

Hello Blogger, You have been specifically requested by one or more of the participating stores in The Giving Hunt to blog about this upcoming kids hunt occuring from November 14 to November 28. To view all participating stores in this giving endeavor, please feel free to visit the hunt blog: http://thegivinghunt.blogspot.com/ The Giving Hunt was designed for a time of giving that will be celebrated across the grid from a select gathering of SL designers for kids and the young at heart no matter where you are located. Together, we give thanks to anyone who will take part in our celebration with gifts of pride, love, and inspiration. Whatever gift each merchant offers, it is still a gift of thanks no matter the size, shape, or value. These merchants, though busy in both rl and sl, have agreed to take time out of their busy lives to give back to the community - and we thank them for that. We hope you, as bloggers, will join us in this celebration to raise awareness about this hunt in the ...

Munkey Business In Worldz store I opened a store on In Worldz where I'll sell art.

Dear Friends, I have left SL but have come for a visit to beg everyone to please help me. My daughters best friend has been missing from Joplin, Missouri now for 6 days. We have gone into homes of suspected gang members, drug dealers, homes of these peoples parents, the schools, businesses, we have put fliers everywhere. There are rumors of her in Oklahomia, Detroit, Kansas City as well as in Joplin still. Please help us! Send this to every group. Daily, hourly, weekly, whatever you can do. The only way to find this girl is for the world to help. She has family and friends and we love her so very much! We have spent hours and hours looking and putting up flyers, talking to teen agers. This is just another step I could think of. Please please please help. http://www.okcfox.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/kokh_vid_2149.shtml http://enternewground.com/ChelseyPelkey-AleaZumwalt/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-Chelsey-Pelkey-Home/154957194532462?ref=mf Thank you to everyone that ...

The Lindens are making a little update to the veiwer soon. We will be getting Display names over our avies. I think it'll be great but with all new things comes some bad too. Will griefters use this to bother us? I'm sure yes is the answer to that. But you can always check thier profiles to make sure who is who. The following quote is taken from the Second Life (TM) Wiki found here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Display_Names " Why is Linden Lab introducing the Display Name feature now? Growing the SL Resident-base is a business objective that we're deeply committed to and we hope that you'll also benefit from that growth. We're also exploring ways to attract new Residents by making their registration and first-hour experiences in Second Life more compelling. We have long known that selecting a Second Life name is one of the biggest hurdles in the new Resident registration process; it is a common reason why potential new Residents abandon registration and it...

Not my birthday, my blog's birthday. Three years ago I started to blog my fun times in second life (TM) and have had so much fun doing it. Through good times and bad I've made note of all things great and small. Looking back, I can see now some posts I wish I hadn't posted and some I wish I made better. There's always room for improvement and growth. With that said, I have made my blog a better look and will continue to do so as time goes on. I have now moved onto three other grids and will blog about those soon as well. With my blog I will try to show the many other grids that exists in the Meta verse. I’m like a virtual reporter letting everyone know of this different means of social networking. Not to worry though as I will still be in SL most of the time. In fact I’ll be posting a few things in the coming days and weeks on my own in world fun. There’s always more fun to be had. Happy birthday to you blog and happy party to all my readers. My we have many more years ...

The JLU is back in action for another Relay For Life walk. You can find their camp here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/RFL%20Give/140/219/24 But only for a short time so come on down and make a donation.

More new changes at Linden Labs. M Linden seems to be gone now and Philip came back as interim CEO. The full story is on this site: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/linden-lab-announces-management-changes-97074779.html There were celebrations and parades of M leaving and Philip's return.

They closed some offices in Erope today and at least 100 Lindens lost thier jobs rl. According to a friend in sl, they are sending out black armbands to everyone. I'll be saving textures and such to use in the other grids. Looks like I found a new home just in time.

These are pics of me on the Meta7 grid. I hope everyone can find me. I signed up about a year ago, but never could get online. Last week I sent in a ticket on my account. They told me to reset my password and bingo. Why yes I'm a girl avatar. Why? I thought that I'm a male in sl so why not be a girl in M7?

Wow, there's a person that is dubed the 'Subway Hero'. http://www.wpix.com/news/wpix-subway-hero-disappears,0,1767389.story It seems the hero saved a young woman and then left the scene afterwards. Maybe the guy had another young woman to rescue. Now if we all took the time to save someone, this world would be better for it.

WALK!!! This month in Raglan it's Art Walk!!! My art, pic below, will soon be on sale in my store. I wanna put one other peice of art out, but we'll see if I can or not. Edit: I moved my art. The new spot is listed below. My spot is here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Heron%20Shire/77/45/22

ZOMG!!! A friend found this and posted it in a group. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011740342_electronboy30m.html A boy who has cancer gets to be a superhero for a day thanks in part to Spider Man. It's pretty cool.

Today was the Day of Remembrance is Seocond Life. A day to remember friends, young and old. I would have liked to send a candle out to sea with a friend's name on it again this year, but I was disapointed when I saw there was no place set up like last years. Bad thoughts aside, I went and paid my virtual respects to those that have gone before me. Lira Wylie, I will never forget you. UPDATE: I did find the area where the candles are. http://slurl.com/secondlife/San%20Michele/70/153/21 I sent a candle out for Lira, but it's also there to represent all my friends I've lost over the year.

I found a home that is infested with huge bugs. Somewhere in the sim of Nightjar there is a house that has bugs that's as big as the house it self. Are they art? Are they a person's whim? I love em.

I made a short vid in sl during a Raglan class on machinima. There's Zayn Till hopping in the background. The scene stealer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blvpbVZkm74

I don't know if this is true or not: Fraud-poisoning attacks Be aware that if someone gives you a sum of L$ out of the blue for no apparent reason, it probably isn't money from heaven; We had a major case in 2006 of the same, using stolen L$ and credit fraud; If you receive fraudulent funds, LL probably will suspend your account pending investigation, and the worst thing you can do is immediately cash out. Be cautious, be aware, and DO look the gift horse in the mouth.

Yet another sign of the times is this sign.

I was doing a hunt and found this in someone's store. It's a bunch of Xstreet server boxes in a trash can. It has a hover text above it sayin "Soon moving to a new web service." By the way, hunters, this is not the hunt item your looking for.

Raglan Shire is doing Mardigras Steampunk style. Parties, movies, dances and a parade all in the style of steam punk. All this in the memory of Stillpink an old friend of the Shire's. I never knew her, but I'm sure we'd get along great.

Premuim members of sl can pick a home for free. Yes, the stories of free land comes to my mind. I'm not old enough to have seen them first hand, but I remember the stories of how sl members got the land for free. At that time it was new territory sl was. Now you can get a free home if you've signed up for the premuim membership. I think there are strings attached. In the meantime, I'm gonna look for a nice castle to live in. Some of the themes available are Japan style homes, loft style homes, A frame homes, quads, and fantasy type homes. I just wish I could build my cookie jar there and put a skybox in the sky. The homes are too close for that though. I may end up with a hobbit's themed home. All homes are not furnished and you can't pick a home next to your friend's home. They are in mature sims as well, so be aware there will be kid avies mixed in as well. Here's the blog link: http://mix.shiny-life.com/feed.php?channel=2&y=2010&m=01&d=25&...

The SLC moved thier tree to just in front of the Vortex. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Whippersnapper/37/50/25 Gemini says there will be more stuff the SLC (Second Life Children) will be doing in the future. The new place, which is a old place according to the SLC elders, also has the famous tree house. The place offers a stage for future events. a renovated tree house for story time, arcade games, the adult to kid avie transmogrifier box and the info on kid avies as always. Speaking of avies, I'm into a website called Avatars United (AU) . It's a myspace for avatars of online games. Games like Wolrd of Warcraft, Eve, SL, etc. There's a thing to it though. Linden Labs, owners of SL, have bought AU. Reasons have yet to be said, to me anyway. Now people can hook up for anything here. And it also has a neat little hud in world that acts like a Twitter hud. It was created by a resident and it lets you post stuff to your profile like where your at and what your doing at the moment...

I'm back. I've been lazy as far as the blog goes. Lots of different things have happened since my last post. Lots of things happened even before the last post. Stuff like Torley being moved or "re-assinged" to another dept. That's why he hasn't posted anymore tutorials in-world. The Menters group had been disbanded. More stuff coming up.

To the Old, To the new, Let's hope this one, Is good to you.
