Holiday Wishes to You Avatars

The signs say it all
Location: Egg-Nogged Torpor

I really enjoyed the holiday party at VWER yesterday; not only did I get to wear a wonderful white-tie-and-spats outfit Viv Trafalgar makes, but I got to pelt folks with snowballs, ice skate with my colleague Anetha, and dance to the fine blues-rock of Kelvinblue Oh.

To my friends in Second Life and other virtual worlds, I wish you the happiest of holidays.

The new year brings new joys and challenges, and Linden Lab will begin it with Rod Humble, a veteran of Electronic Arts. I have a lot of warm-fuzzies for EA, since their subsidiary Maxis released Sim City and Sim City 2000. The latter was the first game I ever used in a classroom.  If Rod could not only make the physics work, but have a Godzilla from SC 2000 romp through the mainland once in a while, I'd be a happier boy in SL.

My resolution to be not be so snarky about the Lab continues. I will resume my road-trips, monthly if possible, and after last night's party, I should get out more to hear live music and support the talent to be found in-world.

See you all in 2011.

Kinder? Gentler? Bah, Humbug!

Now I'll be visited one night by the Ghost of SL Past (Cory), SL Present (Philip), and SL Yet to Come (Rod).

Unlike Scrooge, I may not survive the apparitions!
