My rez day slipped by and reminded me I have been in Second Life for 19 years. I never thought I would last this long or Second Life would be still be around.
I guess this makes me officially a dinosaur. Things have changed from avatars to buildings. When I first started I made extra money teaching building classes for the LIndens, I am not even sure if people know how to rez a cube anymore, don't get me wrong mesh is amazing. It blows my mind how the culture changed too, hanging with Philip Linden in the welcome area and helping the new people with giving them things to get started. Long before Market Place and buying money. I have to admit I still miss my Linden welfare check also known as the stipend. Second Life was a land of wonderment, always some new to see or do and then sharing it at the Linden sponsored show and tell events.
I have to admit that sometimes Second Life can be a little too fluid. You hang out with someone for a couple of years and poof they are gone, often no idea what happened to them. I have met a lot of cool people who are now just a memory, I hope they are doing well. Second Life helped me in so many ways, it can much more than want people often see at the surface.
Thanks for listening
