Hey, Hey, He’s the Monkey
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Ok, so he’s a chimp, not a monkey. I discovered this primate on animal island. He looked up at me with his little chimp eyes while holding a tipping hat. Had he been a beagle puppy I may have given him all of my lindens, but as it was I just [...]
Is There a World-Renowned Medical Institution in the House?
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER “When we put up www.mayo.edu, there were only 10,000 web servers in the world.” Those are the words of Svea Morane, Web Admin for the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, who has worked there more than 34 years.

Of Circuses and Junk
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Shauna has already written about the D-Lab store, but didn’t mention the whole island on which the store resides.

Hunts Galore
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER I quite enjoy virtual treasure hunts.

Live in Second Life
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER One of the cool things in Second Life is the live music scene. It’s a global thing, and in the past I’ve listen to everything from Argentine jazz to French indie and all things in-between. The standard is variable, passing through sublime onto mediocre and culminating in the downright dire; [...]
Paypourri: Apologies, Praise, and the aQuatria Gallery
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I hope everyone who read my interview with Ghanie Lane knows I was teasing her and making fun of my lazy-ass self in remarks about the notecard interview!

How Well Do We Know Our Second Life Friends?
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I am not one of these people who think you can’t get to know someone over the internet. In fact, I believe you can often get to know someone even better. Why? Because some people reveal things typing that they’d wait ages to tell you if you met them first in [...]

Menswear Fashion Week 2010
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Only a fool would deny that male fashion is overshadowed by women’s fashion in Second Life, and with some justification.
