What I Did Today (BBBC 2009)

Today I spent some time meeting with a new friend I met on AvMatch. AvMatch is a site where you can meet new people as your SL avatar for romance or friendship.

For privacy purposes I'll leave her name a secret but she enlightened me about a new phenomenon I've been noticing on SL. Virtual Pregnancy. As I understand it, you go to the clinic and pay to get impregnated and you get to choose your term. It's an interesting concept. Anybody who has more info is invited to leave a comment and educate us.

The BBBC is still going on, click here to find out tomorrows topic.

The Big Bad Blogger Challenge 2009

While looking for things to post about, I came across this. Always up for a challenge I decided to take up the cause for sharing the Second Life experience with those who don't know about it, or even SL residents who want to know my goals and experiences in that particular metaverse.

The challenge is this: For one week starting today, and until the 19th, participants simply blog at least once per each day. Heck, I can do that. It's only a week, right? Besides, I've already gotten my first post out of the way.

If you'd like to join the challenge, click this link to learn more about it.

And as always, if you don't have a Second Life account, click here to get one. It's fun and it's free.

Second Life Opens Meth-lab for Police Training

Just when you thought it was safe to go into the Virtual World...

Second Life Opens Meth-lab for Police Training

First of all I'd like to apologize to my readers (both of them,) for taking so long to post. My Real Life Avatar decided to go on a trip to Reno, NV for a few days to visit with his mother and sister. Now he's back and I'm back on the case documenting what us Virtual World Superheroes do.



Of course since there can't be an avatar in the 3d virtual world without someone in the real world showing us how it's done, Gus Plisskin has created a virtual meth lab to show the Real World Superheroes (The police, not the ones performing public service in costume) what a meth lab looks like.



I took a look in the meth lab and have it on good authority from my real world av that this is indeed what a meth lab would look like, except it is a lot neater that it's real world equivalent. Perhaps neat isn't the right word. Bare would probably be a better one. Hopefully they remembered to disconnect the wiring from all the appliances except for the refrigerator.



To take a look at the meth lab for yourself, here's the landmark. You must have a Second Life account to visit it, click here to join for free.
