someone should have told me silks weren't for clubbing back in 2006 |
Being a newbie can be overwhelming and downright awkward with embarrassing clothing and hair malfunctions while bumping into every object and other avatars in a sloppy stumble through Second Life. It truly is a hideous sight to observe. Especially when dealing with newbies that ransack freebie prop shops and are strapped heavily with an arsenal of griefer gadgets. My first experience with such a Noob griefer did not end very pleasantly for either of us. His naked avatar along with his chicken on a stick prop came to me asking for a job. Needless to say, he was not hired. He was instead ejected and banned from the media center and I have been left emotionally scarred for SLife by the whole ordeal ever since.

The New PODEX Exchange Visa Card You Can Use to Pay Bills, Make Online Purchases or even Withdraw from an ATM. How’s That for Some Real Perks? Lanai Jarrico Reporting...
Podex Exchange |
As a VW reporter I hear all sorts of interesting things from people. If I wanted to sit here all day and gossip or dishing out scoops about awesome people, I would be a popular lunch lady. Nonetheless, here’s a little food for thought.I was told Second Life was really created as a place for the founding virtual nerds to test new concepts and ideas. Rather than let the grid get lost in cyberspace, one person’s idea of offering it over to users on a global platform was a big hit, making that person a “GOD “to avatars. These days the Lindens, are treated more like fallen angels that don’t show up when called upon or lack the ability to create miracles for residents. Once again, we find ourselves with free will, our own imagination and choices to make as long as we don’t break the terms of service. We have the choice to squander our time role playing, getting down to business or a little bit of both. In the years I have spent observing the Second Life community the business sector has grown dramatically. Back in 2005, avatars were still a bit wet behind the ears in business. Many premium members produced freebies and corner shops in countless malls or used rental ad boards at different in-world venues. You can still see that today but the difference is, those that are successful, utilize more media sources, social networks and services that offer real perks like a boost in customer traffic and revenues.
Podex ATM |
Avatars are banking up Lindens and cashing them out at an increasing rate using e-commerce portals like Podex Exchange. Many already know how to be profitable using this company and are excited about the new visa card . Others are just realizing how the virtual world works with new technology and services. Podex Exchange keeps up with how avatars do business in Second Life and provides the customer service people deserve.
Podex is a company that understands the needs of the community in both Second Life (SL) and in the physical world (RL). They are an official reseller with all the bells and whistles to show for it. Aside from offering the most competitive exchange rates available in Second Life, Podex has launched its new Visa Debit Card for real world transactions.
I met up with Podex Exchange CEO, Jacek Shuftan to talk more about this new debit card and the response it has had so far.

What brought you to Second Life and how has it impacted you as a person?My friends came to SL and told me it was fun so I tried it. It made me learn to tolerate people I normally wouldn’t and how to be more cooperative with others. Also it taught me about people of different countries and even states.

Lanai's Diary: June 7, 2012- A Zombie Apocolypes in Real Life? Maybe we are safer in Second Life... - Lanai Jarrico
Lanai Jarrico on Zombie Patrol |
There is so much madness going on these days, that it makes the things I have to deal with in my day to day life, seem petty and mundane and believe me in the last month, I’ve been dealt a hand of all Jokers in an impossible card game. I’m so glad I can log into Second Life as an escape and do what I love. Write and stay busy. Lately some real world news has been catching my attention. There have been reports of crazy zombie-like cannibals on the loose. Some of these cases sound like they are straight out of a horror flick or a regular Thursday night in Second Life’s role play scene.

Shon Charisma |
How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Shon: Funny. Talented. Sincere. Creative. Intriguing.
What brought you to Second Life and how has it impacted you as a person?
Shon: I came to SL for a RL college class a few years ago, and actually, I hated it. LOL I came from the class and left. A few months later, I returned and began to move around the grid and check some things out and decided to stay. The biggest impact, and it's not a really positive one, lol, is that it's made me doubly busy in my overall life. Just like in RL, I have a whole set of friends that require attention and too much work to do. Ha! A positive, however, is that I have had the opportunity to be a part of experiences that I have yet to do in the real world, such as help put together Broadway style plays and performances.

Dear Persia,
Since we met and worked together, I knew you would continue to be a driving force in virtual world media. You are a great leader in all that you do and I'm so proud of your accomplishments and continued contribution to the Second Life community .
Beauty, knowledge and experience being some of your best qualities, you have a great sense of humor and all around great person to know. I can ramble on about all the adventures we got into through the years, from going to concets and events to witnessing you slapping the bujesus out of Philip Linden by accident. In 7 years, that was one of the most memorable moments I had. Thank you for that. You truly are like a virtual sister and a riot to know . I wish you a Happy 4th Rez day and many more great years ahead. BTW Welcome to the Cougar club! After 4 years you will begin to question if you are a virtual world junkie or an expert...
Opps 4th! |
Cheers!

SL Newser: Join Second Life Newser for a PARTY! June 3 @ 11 am SLT
It's Second Life Newser's Two Year Anniversary next week. We're still planning our schedule, but it starts Sunday June 3 at Cova's Cove, a private beach owned by our friend Covadonga Writer. The fun begins at 11AM, and all are invited.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MWGA HOSTS MONTH-LONG ANNUAL MEDIA EXPO IN JUNE
“MWGA created an annual media expo to celebrate business as a whole in Second Life,” MWGA owner Lyric Navarita said. “This is a way for businesses, as well as the publishing industry, to get together and mingle with guests on a more personable level. I hope this expo opens a new form of communication and sparks interest to be more involved in what our platform has to offer - an opportunity to learn more about the publishing industry through our workshops, engage with those within the industry via social and networking activities and celebrate the achievements of businesses in Second Life.”
Several workshops will be offered on site from professionals in the media industry on a range of topics from their experiences in their fields, production and publishing and distribution technologies. A final workshop will also include applying guided imaginary to the SL experience from Pura Vida Wellness Resort.
"The MWGA Expo is a unique event raising awareness of the talent and diversity of media available in SL and will hopefully encourage new people to participate in this constantly evolving industry," MWGA Media Expo participant MANIERA LLC's COO Aphrodite Brianna said.
Performances will also be held by radio’s KHNY Honey 103 (June 16) and BoSL Radio (June 17) as well as dance troop Dazzlers (July 8).

Spotlight on Timothy Bisquit , SL Hip Hop Artist Releases the SL Blueprint Albums. -Lanai Jarrico Reporting..
Lanai going hard at Club Indica |
Hip Hop is my favorite genre. I’m not ashamed to go hard on some Jay Z, Rick Ross or even some Kanye west while driving in my car or cleaning my house. I haven't gotten the cops called on me yet for loud music but I've gotten dirty looks. It’s not just a genre of music, it’s a culture. From music and fashion to attitude. People can either love it, hate it or keep it movin, cause Hip Hop is here to stay.
One thing you can find in the Hip Hop genre that you can’t find in many cookie cutter songs these days, is realism, slick rhymes mixed with humor. The hustle of the street and the way a hip hop artist can use their experiences to overcome obstacles and attain a dream, is what most is about. But lets not get it twisted. Hip Hop is not all about being gangsta, hardships and hustles in the hood. Artists such as Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Gweneth Paltrow even that old crow Madonna has been known to go hard and spit on the mic and those ladies probubly couldn't even bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Anyway....

Memorial Day in America and in Second Life - Lanai Jarrico Reporting...
Memorial day originated after the American civil war to honor the fallen union soldiers. Since the early 1900’s it has been observed on the last Monday of May in the United States. This is a day of honor and remembrance of all the courageous men and women that have since died in the United States Armed forces. It also marks the beginning of Summer and vacation season. Observers visit cemeteries to deliver flowers and flags, others celebrate with cookouts including fireworks and family reunions.
