On June 30th, my avatar will turn 1 year old! What a year it has been! Within a few months of my first log-in, Second Life moved me from Wisconsin to Berkeley, drove me to leave a career in real-life architecture behind in pursuit of a virtual alternative, and remains the focus of the lion’s share of my daily activity on a professional level at Clear Ink. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Honestly, not a day goes by that I don’t recognize the fact that I have one of the coolest jobs on the planet, and I really do owe it all to Second Life.
When I started, there were a little over 400,000 registered users. Today there are over 7 million. So much has changed! If time permits, I hope to publish some memoires of my first year in Second Life later this week. Stay tuned!
