I don’t post that much about Second Life (SL), despite the fact I’ve been spending an awful lot of time there on the Emerge Island and also gearing up for throwing an SL Edublog Award party with James Farmer in there this year (OMG – we’re into our 4th year already!).
For those of you who haven’t looked around yet, it’s not all shopping and, um, educational technologists. If you’ve got a speedy computer (or at least, patience honed from the days when popular chat rooms would regularly boot you out whenever things got lively), you might want to check out counter cultural festival Burning Life 2007. Promising "another side to the Second Life sims: cultures that counter corporate constraints, and embrace unrestrained creativity", the festival runs today through to October 1st.
“cultures that counter corporate constraints, and embrace unrestrained creativity”
So that’d be the “gritty-edged power rock”, Yngwie Malmsteen acolytes and – oh, my goodness – Emerson, Lake & Palmer cover acts, then. 😉

(OK, I know, I know, it’s not all like that, but still…)
Aw come on Pete – they may be a bunch of hippies but at least they’re still trying 🙂 – although I did get stuck on a rather nasty unicorn sculpture fr a while, lol. Nice to see some attempt at not selling you stuff in SL.
