It’s Complicated
BY FERAL MOSSRIDER Life is a thing of complexity – just how complex it really is becomes clear when you try to model it. Take me as an example. You can define where I am through simple spatial co-ordinates, x, y and z, which is fine, provided I don’t move. Throw time into the mix [...]

All Things Being Equal
BY WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER I’m a great believer in equality: gender, race age, ethinicity – doesn’t matter to me, I firmly believe that all are created equal and that one person’s contribution to the whole holds as much value as that of the next person. This is one of the reasons I like Second Life [...]

Live Music is Dead
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Live music can be great depending on your preferred genre and the quality of the perfomer.

Table and Four Chairs = One Prim

Dear Mr President
