Learnings!

One of the most amazing things about SL is that there is so much to learn and be creative about! London and I have lately been working on learning to build sculpties. This is the result! Not bad, huh! :) The world of sculpties opens up such an immense array of possibilities. We just wanted to show how far we have been. We will continue to learn and create! And I wonder how big an impact these new learnings will have on LnL's creations!! It certainly looks promising!

We'll be discussing the pros and cons of keeping anonymous in SL, of choosing how much or how little of RL to share in SL. Where, and when do you draw the line between privacy, and the need to know who you are dealing with? And how does that vary between the different types of relationships you have in SL - friendship, romantic, business? What rules of disclosure do you observe?

Dicussion this Thursday!

On Thursday (4th) at 3pm SLT, Lewis will be hosting another discussion in the Lounge! This week - Something for Nothing. We'll talk about the freebie culture in Second Life, and why something that started as a simple way to help newbies has become such a source of great drama. Does the drama outweight the benefits? We'll be discussing these and other related questions. Join us! :) Hope to see you all there!

Note that this week due to time changes in many countries, the discussion will be held at 3pm SLT and not 2pm SLT. We'll switch back to 2pm SLT as soon as Pacific Time also changes!
