    I Ruthed Myself

    November 4, 2007 - By 

    Ruthed adj. A conditional identity one may encounter while traveling between realms in Second Life usually resulting in auburn dome hair, abnormal ugliness, sexual androgeny, and an overall confused sense of self. A little earlier tonight (on the 3rd of November), I attended the gallery show and dance at the closing of the Ruthed! photo exhibition, which was of images of people who had messed themselves up horribly. And here I did it to myself later that same night, because I tried logging in via Movable Life, which removes all the textures and clothes and things. At least I’ve got…

    Pullups at Firefly’s

    November 1, 2007 - By 

    After a night of free classes, dancing to the Beatles at Grizzy’s, and tinkering with a big box o’ sounds and gestures, I like to unwind with a few hundred pullups at Firefly’s Bar at Blackburne Downport. Why, yes, I’m having a lot of fun here. — Want to try out Second Life for yourself?

    Carmen

    October 27, 2007 - By 

    Earlier today, I had an extremely real-world experience; I attended Carmen McCall’s funeral at St Nicholas (Holy Moly). And sang. And cried. And hugged. And laughed. It was… pretty amazing. Carmen was a feisty older lady who in the last couple of years had major, major health problems. She had lived in Indiana and was very involved in volunteer work – especially in the area of AIDS and also at senior citizen homes. Her son is gay, and she always found the time to care for his friends and hug them, especially when they were lonely or hurting. She loved…

    Traveling Along in Second Life

    October 27, 2007 - By 

    Here I am, playing some sort of gamelan (described as an “elven samong” or some such) in a little pavilion in an area called.. “Qoheloth.” It’s a pretty place where people have set up pavilions with information about world religions, and there’s an entire mosque with a Stargate on top – that works, because I saw someone come through it. But unless you’re flying when you come through, you fall from the roof to the ground in front of the door, which is an ungraceful way to arrive for Friday prayers. In the same area are smaller pavilions for Jainism,…

    12 Things To Do In Second Life That Aren’t Embarrassing If Your Priest Or Rabbi Finds Out – Digital Life Blog – InformationWeek I get frustrated hearing people talk about how Second Life isn’t entertaining, or it’s only useful for advertising to “freaks,” “furries, ageplay perverts and prank-loving adolescents.” I finally decided to put together a list of things to do in Second Life, as a resource for people curious about the game, and also as something I can point to next time I read one of those misguided attacks.I don’t really blame the people who think there’s nothing to…
