Catherine Winters is not the top hit for “Second Life Vancouver”

By Catherine Winters | Published: July 31, 2009

If we’ve spoken in any [...]

Second Life usage graph roundup!

By Catherine Winters | Published: March 14, 2007
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. So what does that actually mean in practical usage terms? Are there 4.6 million regular Second Life users? Well, no.” * Where “fascinating” may or [...]

The LSL Wiki finds a new home

By Catherine Winters | Published: February 28, 2007
After a couple months of fighting to retrieve data from my ISP, arguing about whether or not I had the right to transfer the LSLwiki.com domain name — and finally buying a new one — followed by a couple days’ worth of messing about with MySQL, I’m pleased to say the LSL Wiki has returned, [...]

By Catherine Winters | Published: November 26, 2006
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!
