I've pretty much signed up to browse and am rapidly becoming addicted to this tool/toy (can't decide which - I think it's both). "Wow! Look there... it's my *real* life whizzing and gurgling in whirl-pool like fashion down the drain..."

There are many creative folk in second life... or those that want to create, build or share ideas. People from every walk of life and every background imaginable. Blah.

"Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet." This site raises awareness about bullying and suggests tools and resources needed "to stand up against bullies and step in when we see it happening." I think this initiative is a fantastic idea - bullying can be seriously damaging on it's own - but often also leads to other issues as a result of the bullying. It's not ok... stand up and say something... don't remain silent when you see it happening.

I'm not sure I'd just the word steal... borrow... and borrow in a unique way... but still... semi nice sentiment.

The most amazing knitted/crocheted art you've ever seen... brimming with humour (sometimes humour that is a little on the black side) this art should make you smile. I'd definitely class it as art as opposed to craft... but I guess it's a bit of both. Take a look... you won't be disappointed. I originally received some images of this artwork in an email - there was a link to the blog but I couldn't find links citing the author/source... now I have them, I'm sharing.

From the page: "I saw this online and I thought that it was so hilarious. If you are not in a relationship or you are in a relationship please print this out and have your significant complete it. It may prove to be very entertaining and quite informative. "

A great site with some very easy recipes that you could whip up and serve to your guests leaving them in awe and wondering, if secretly, you are a master chef.

Social network, Plurk lists Second Life as a country, providing hundreds of second life users an easier way to locate one another.
This is a first for social networks. Plurk is a real life network as opposed to an avatar network and - as far as I'm aware - it's the first to list a virtual world as a country.
Considering that many people appear on the web as avatars of one form or another, this seems like a logical progression for social networks (for instance there are a lot of people from Second Life, World of Warcraft, THERE and other online environments participating on social networks as their avatar in order to keep up with their selected communities... so why not allow them to list themselves as such somewhere in their profile?).
I am one person in multiple environments and consider myself a global citizen, an Australian and a Second Lifer. I use my avatar accounts primarily for Second Life purposes and have separate accounts for work and personal so listing my location as Second Life rather than Australia is, perhaps, more meaningful in this context.
