This is the first in a series of weekly posts where I’ll share a few blog posts, new articles, and other Second Life related links that may have fallen through the virtual cracks over the last 7 days. I’m a bit obsessed with Sl news, so I might as well share the fruits of my info-overload addiction. :)
