Contrary to popular belief, I will not be speaking at the upcoming SL Pro! conference this month. I had some recent questions about that point, so I wanted to clear things up in case you were planning on emailing me: To say you are excited to hear I was speaking To ask questions about why […]

Catherine Winters is not the top hit for “Second Life Vancouver”
This week, the Georgia Straight’s Stephen Hui interviewed me for Straight.com’s weekly Geek Speak feature. I just finished reading the interview and I’m happy to confirm that I didn’t sound insane or say anything terribly inappropriate this time. I find I do have something of a tendency to do this. If we’ve spoken in any […]

Second Life usage graph roundup!
I found a fascinating* post about Second Life’s much-debated usage numbers over at Social Signal. “That number will likely be over 4.6 million by the time you read this blog post.

Northern Voice 2007: Day 1 — MooseCamp
So I’m at Northern Voice this weekend! Friday’s agenda is MooseCamp: the “unconference”. This morning, people seemed interested in a session about Second Life, so I signed up to run one after lunch. Now even more bloggers know about Goreans, furries and lag. Mission accomplished. Today’s highlights included: Realizing that it’s at the main Point […]
Second Life: The Official Guide ships!
So I guess it’s probably about time I updated the look of this blog. It’s come to my attention that I may be the only published blogger not to have plugged their book on their site in every possible way. Maybe I should do something about that…
CBC on SL
The CBC’s Adrienne Arsenault reports on the crazy cyber-venturous lifestyle of Second Life — and actually does the best job yet. Also look for Mistress Midnight arguing on the side of subjective reality! Take that, Arsenault!
A Zombie Stole my Heart!
Best title ever? Yeah, probably. The Ed Wood Machinima Festival is on! Entrants have two days to produce the worst SL machinima film possible, using the title “A Zombie Stole my Heart”, selected by the advanced computo-logical main-frames in the basement of the Alt-Zoom building in downtown San Francisco. I, for one, eagerly await the […]
