I stumbled upon this one while roaming the web

This is so true, gives a lot to think about it

Here, for the main article, in french, sorry

Just to wait...

In the next days, I'm supposed to do a "dossier" about Virtual Realities, and will probably post it here too.

Meanwhile, a few videos that I like. Oh, by teh way, when I love a song it's because of the music obviously, but also because of the lyrics. Well most of the time, and for the videos I will put it is utterly the case.

Well, yeah, meanwhile, as before, the videos will stand in an other place
here are the links for my three chosen vids
Metallica : wellcome home
Metallica : Wherever I may roam
Metallica : Of wolf and man

oh, and yes it is official, my Logs will go with a Supplemental media, the Supplemental Logs :)

Just Important... to me

I have moved the videos to a connex site, which is better to organise videos in my humble opinion

here is the link for the Vid that was here Depeche Mode : Walk in my shoes

Amazing Fashion

Since I get in, I travelled a lot, wandering to many places, and each time got astonished by the qualitie of some articles. It was without counting with this place " Barerose " http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bare%20Rose/147/12/30
This place is just that, Incredible.
If you love qualitie and fancy, and wonderfull, you must get there :)

Steampunk meets Gothic meets Japan meets... a lot, and all with qualitie, really impressive, a place you really have to visit :)

And to finish, an other one " Barerose Haute Couture " http://slurl.com/secondlife/Black%20Cat/202/208/28 smaller, yet impressive too.

With this two address, well, even men avies will eventually look good, at last.

Language issues

2008-06-01T01:43:00.005+02:00

English, why english ?
Well mainly because Second Life, is first and afterall english. Even those of different languages all do speak/write/understand or use translators to be abble to live in it. Besides, when I came back to SL I made my mind up. It was to be in english, and so it is. Even if on the road I met other french ones, and with them keep talking in french, but for the rest, its english. So does my blog is.
Period.

Oh, and it is also a good way for me to keep up practicing english :)

Numbers and demography

2008-05-30T17:34:00.005+02:00

Founded in the "Second Life, official guide" french edition 2006. Extracted from a poll in the official forum

Men playing as a Men, 41.95%
Women playing as a Women, 40.05%
Men playing as a Women, 14.45%
Women playing as a Men, 3.55%

which would bring us with :
54.50 % Women Avatars and 45.50 % Men Avatars.

It sounds quite odd, or maybe it is just because I dwell in some specific places more womanly oriented, but my overall impression is that their is more than 54.50% Women Avies.

Some where else in the book, 18.??% men confess to have started their second life as a women.

And finaly, to quote an acquaintance inside SL : "it is more 34.45% than 14.45% men playing as a women". If he is right, it leads us to this demographique repartition. 74.50% women avies, and 25.50% men avies.

Odd, but this proportions sounds just like more accurate to me.

He roughly also said in the same stance "If the avatar is men so be it a men, and if it is a women avatar so it is women" what he Mean't is from a Role Playing point of view. I do uttery suscribe to this point of view. that no matter who is behind the keyboard, inside SL, what matters is the avatar. Of course, the 1st Life operator is important, but since SL is about R.P. the avatar becomes the true self while logged in.

First day ever

2008-05-28T16:22:00.002+02:00

Somewhere close to the end of the year 2006 I have done my first steps inside SL2. That very first experience was awfull. Laggy, lack of ressources from my side, ugly avatars, not knowing what to do. I may say I was defenitaly not ready for Second Life at that time, and as such, closed the connection and bail out of it.
Yet, not knowing why, I didn't took out the game client from my putter :)
