Oh, Jeez, Second Life raises a possibility again.

I'll have you know that my avatar's little floating sign ("HUD") now identifies me as a probationary firefighter with the Second Life Fire Dept. I took a short class and multiple choice test, "fought" some "fire", and did as best as I could what I was told. I also managed to keep from totally... Sign in to see full entry.

Email to a SL avatar (too long for the Linden Labs Email to handle)

Remember to make hay while the virtual sun shines! I think the lack of firm investment of time and money by corporate entities (in fact, some have tried and then quit) may not presage a coming crash ala Enron, but suggests that the proper approach to take is precisely what you and a few others have...

The new blanket in the Blogit bazaar...what do you think?

I'm asking in each of my blogs, what do you think about the new feature? This is sort-of market research, but also getting a reality check as to whether I have such material to offer. I would of course post infrequently to the pay spot versus the other one(s). So, what would you give up or pay to... Sign in to see full entry.

Why I can't work for an airline, ever.

(An overlong reply to another blogger's website). Rescue school ruined me for pilot training (or even being a flight steward). I'd always be tempted to shut down by yanking the throttles to naught, flipping the batteries off, then pulling the fire handles. Getting out of the aircraft fast would... Sign in to see full entry.

Second biggest: Lord of the Rings Airline http://www.suresoft.ca/homepage/lotr.html from blogger "Aviatrix" 's "Cockpit Conversatons" blog, link in an old post.
