Second Life at Seven: Reveling in Unexpected Collaborations

Blogs - Second living

An extravaganza with a magnitude yet unseen before is how the seventh birthday bash of Second Life this June 21–July 3 has been shaping up to be. Not even the “strategic restructuring” that was announced by Linden Lab (LL) on June 9 resulting in an anticipated 30 percent reduction in its staff could put a dampener on the celebrations for SL’s seventh birthday (SL7B). Yes siree, mademoiselles, if you please, SL7B flies high under its thematic “Unexpected Collaboration” banner.

It’s an all-too familiar situation to an in-world denizen—a teleport to a supposed party hotspot yields an empty place. So where are the vaunted party animals of SL, which per one research says spend over 16 hours in in-word entertainment each week?

Logically, what we’d want to avoid are the crowded, laggy sims as our avis pursue the many splendors to be found in this metaverse called SL. However, there are some in-world spots which defy this logic, and standing out among these is Frank’s Place Jazz Club.

I've seen Avatar, not once, but four times, and soon will be watching it for the fifth. I'll be in line to get that DVD when it comes out. If you're like me and many others, wanting to experience the forests of Pandora, to fly an Ikran, and to ride a direhorse, you can! Or if  you identified more with the military and the collection of Unubtanium, you can also do that.

After seeing Avatar each time, I'd return home to search Second Life for Pandora worlds, signs of the Na'vi wandering about. For weeks my searches produced zilch. Then one day, after returning home from seeing Avatar again..
