13 Most Beautiful Avatars in Second Life

Italian mischief-makers Eva and Franco Mattes are at it again. The two self-described ‘con-artists’, who seek to “use non conventional communication tactics to obtain the largest visibility with the minimal effort”, have thus far perpetuated an artistic hoax, released a computer virus as a work of art, and have now entered the virtual world […]

80’s Rockers Grab Chunk of Digital Immortality

But we won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an virrr-tu-allll world

Second (Life) Impressions

So, as promised, I gave Second Life another shot yesterday. I figured that if I just got out of Noobieland, I’d be able to find some cool stuff to do. I started to fly around, not really knowing what to do or where to go. I tried to ignore my first instinct to look for […]
