August 2008

Are we turning to virtual worlds as our real life economy slides into recession? Read this Reuters update on the upswing in the Second Life economy.

Oh, what’s more fun in Second Life than anything pirate? Head on over to Cassiopeia Isle for a pirate celebration. All kinds of pirate goodies from LVS and My Dead Kitty right outside of LVS!  Starts Friday, August 29 and goes for three days. Pirate and wench clothing, as well as this bomb pirate balloon, complete with navigation telescope and a small pirate ship to navigate the waters around SL!

Pirate balloon photos were taken at Pirate’s Keep at Beek Haven. A resident commented on my cool balloon, and we got to talking. He told me they have six sims there and an active pirate community. Finally, somewhere to wear my peg leg! (And if you don’t have one, yes, you can get it over at Cassiopeia, right outside LVS!

Just one warning. As you are crazily clicking to pick up all the pirate goodies outside LVS, be careful, as I accidentally spent $350L on unwanted pirate jewelry by Lynx. It’s right there with the dollarbies. Thank god it was trans, so I gave it to friends.
