Wimbledon roof garden - Pimms or Prims

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Judge has built a roof garden based on the real life media centre roof garden. When Tara5 Oh came to visit we had a misunderstanding on the bottle of Pimms (a Wimbledon tradition of sorts) and the word prim (somewhat popular in Second Life)

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Tish over at Ugotrade has just posted some transcripts from the an event in Second Life yesterday. The Cisco CEO John Chambers appeared and answered some questions.

Interesting movements related to the Virtual World industry

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

It is fair to call this an industry or a business now I think. Still a fledgling one but definitely shaping into an industry. One of the ways you I think you can tell is that stories are not just about what has been done with a technology, but start to get stories and general [...]

Jump Around, Jump Around get up get up and get down - Interoperability

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

As has been blogged and reported and twittered there was a little experiment that had some success yesterday involving common login’s from Second Life and OpenSim. A form of avatar interoperability, albeit across very similar platforms.
