In December Alberik and Boaz gave me a dress for my rezz day by the famed SL designer Eshi Otawara. Little did they know what they started…

On December 4, 2008 my avvie turned Two… my amazing in-world friends showed up and made my rezz day awesome and fun…
I wore my bad ass Night Love jacket from Lee Zu Baxter, and my new Maitreya boots… and all my wonderful friends made the night wonderful!

The whole month of December made me realise how lucky I am to have such good SL girlfriends. These ladies here make a sister a sissa, and we have each other’s backs. Lucky chair stalking, standing in, keep spirits up and keeping it real. I love my SL sissas….
TALK ABOUT A SHOCKER! This literally made me do a double take at my RSS feed!
Linden Lab CEO to step down

NEW YORK – Philip Rosedale, founder and chief executive of “Second Life” creator Linden Lab, is stepping down and will become chairman once a replacement is found, the company said Friday.
“My passion for \’Second Life\’ is undiminished, and this appointment will enable me to be more closely involved in the evolution of the company\’s products,” Rosedale said in a statement.
In the virtual world of “Second Life,” users create avatars of themselves that live, work and play in its 3-dimensional landscape. Many users make and spend real money on land, clothes, real estate and even weapons they use in the virtual world.
The online community has attracted real-life businesses too, but some have had to grapple with virtual vandals messing with their 3-D storefronts. And while “Second Life” has nearly 13 million users, only a fraction of them log in regularly.
Rosedale, who built his first computer when he was in fourth grade and started a software company in high school, served as the vice president and chief technology officer of RealNetworks before founding Linden Lab.
He was not available to comment Friday but said in a blog post that, as the company grows, the role of its CEO will increasingly be to expand its work force.

Most of you know I am a rabid Mac Evangelist, and I will ever be so, however there are moment when I wish some of the software available for PC users would make the journey across.
My attempts to stream a unique stream of music into Second Life that is listen-able by all, are constantly thwarted by all manner of difficulties. I do not use ShoutCast and NiceCast frustrated me and is too difficult to configure.
What I really wanted was to be able to play my #160last.fm music in Second Life. I found hope when I came across blog post at eightbar telling of a little device that lets him tell people what he listened to last. This isn`t exactly what I wanted, and in any case as I discovered there was no SLURL for me to get one myself and the post is more than a year old. Read more…
