POPSFraud I had the opportunity to work as a virtual assistant for a banker in Second Life. He claimed he was honest and legitimate. As an inside observer of some of the activities, the exchanges looked fraudulent at best. When the residents of Second Life pressured the banker out, I think it spoke volumes about financial institutions, stock exchanges, etc giving even a hint of impropriety. As honest as this banker tried to be, the way he handled certain situations left SL residents with a sour taste in their mouths. For me, the bottom line is, banks and stock exchanges in Second Life stole money from residents. I did not invest any of my L$. The customers I worked with were very savvy. They asked a lot of hard questions before investing. I am a supporter of Linden Labs staying out of resident to resident interactions. I am a supporter of people trying new things in SL or using SL for educational purposes. To this date, the banks and exchanges in SL have taken advantage of residents.

POPSSecond Life Gets Real Weather from Boston What a development. I bought clouds recently for over my house in Second Life because it makes the sky and the experience that much more real... plus they are pretty :) A Boston based Interactive agency Windward Mark, that was bought by Linden Labs in May, is going to integrate their atmospheric rendering software to make real-life weather possible in Second Life. How far will it go though? I mean currently you can "force" the sun to sunrise and sunset and so with these new developments will we be able to force rain, clouds and even snow?! Will puddles form as it rains? Will snow make our avatars shiver unless we are clothed properly? We will have to wait and see.

POPSSecond Life changing Group IM In all my years in real life, I have been the type of person to embrace change. Jump from the frying pan into the fire? Sure! Why not? The fire just might be better. However, in my Second Life the frying pan is definitely safer than the fire. Every time Linden Labs "updates/upgrades" Second Life, I have to achieve a new level of comfort. I have to learn a new set of workarounds to the new set of bugs. My Second Life has taught me the devil I know is safer than the devil I do not know.
