The New Zach Barnes Packaging..

Being a fashionista in Second Life, means no matter how high on the list your recognizability is , you have to constantly upgrade your appearance.

I've gone from a bleach blond, to jet black hair, and now I am sporting a HOT body tattoo.

Believe me, when I make my grand entrance, .. people notice. Thats what it is about.

In Second Life, if you are on the A-list, which means you get invited everywhere, all the time, it means you are a Hottie, which basically means, you have first dibs on talking to all the right people, to in the end, meet your needs.

Out of control Spamming in Second Life..

There is a dramatic increase of notecard and snapshot spam attacks in Second Life.
Supposedly, by going 'set busy', all popups SHOULD prevent this attack by blocking
all popups. It does not.
Hopefully, in the near future, the development team will include an add on to the Second Life browser, to block all except on the user's buddy list and/or specific incoming files.

3D Glasses and Second Life..

I have often wondered what it would be like to wear 3D immersive eyewear plugged
into Second Life, so that in the end, it would be as if I am seeing the whole environment
through the eyes of my avatar.

The overall concept, is to employ an HMD (Head Mounted Display), seen here by VPL Research.
This hardware, allows the person wearing it, to have a full immersive, digital sensory experience of 3D sights and sounds.

By full immersive, I mean when you look hold your head up, you see the sky, when you hold your head down, you see the ground, and to the left, you see the left of you, and the right, you will of course see the whats actually to the right of your avatar.

I predict this as a natural evolution of online interactive virtual communities like Second Life, in the not so distant future.
