Hey folks,

We are looking for a new SL Exposed writer. If you are a seasoned Second Life-er and would enjoy sharing your knowledge to the world, we would love to have you write for this blog!

Alternatively, you can submit an individual post. Always appreciated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’ve always been fascinated about online worlds and the people who populate them. Second Life is by far the most popular FREE virtual world. Well, it’s free to an extent. But that’s not the point. What do you do in SL? Some people set up shop, some own nightclubs, and some sell real estate. I’m a wander personally. I just wander around and explore. Sometime I will hit up a club or the latest happening, but I like to wander and network with people/ avatars. So lets pop this question again…what do you do in Second Life?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ran across this post this morning and just knew I had to share it. The proof that Second Life can be useful for more than just clubbing, buying clothes, and setting up shop. I’ve always been a believer in networking and SL has that covered. Have you ever been to an online job fair?

Sbrunozzi over at Second Life pros attended a recent job fair for an Amazon position and was picked to fly to Seattle for the final round of interviews. She has made it to top level interviews thanks to Second Life! I’ll definitely follow up on her story to see if she landed the job. Congratulations from SL Exposed!

There are some really cool places to visit in Second Life. Whether you are new or a seasoned Second Life pro, I’ll be going around to some parties, places, and must see attractions to give you the scoop. For my first stop, I thought a beach party would be nice.
It’s always fun to get your groove on to reggae music while basking in the hot hot sun. Here at Irie Vibes you can party it up right on the beach. That’s right, a popular beach party destination every Saturday where you can listen to 8 hours of reggae music and dance under the palms.

It’s paradise…oh not to mention you can relax in beach chairs while you enjoy the party or you can sit on the beach itself.

Relax.

Party. This destination is pretty popular so don’t be worried about a dud party. When I made my way into the action, there were people dancing, talking, and relaxing all over the place.

Dance. Dance to the beat of reggae 24/7! I don’t know why, but recently the people/ avatars in SL have appeared as lines and blobs. Anyone else experiencing that? You can see evidence of the problem in these snapshots I took.

That wraps up my visit. Until next time, sip a pina colada and
be sure to check it out every Saturday!

Regarding leaning in SL, I’ve heard a place called ‘The Ivory Tower’ come up a lot, so I decided to pay a visit and see what it was all about. Well I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a beautiful looking building and the knowledge contained therein is helpful and easy to understand. There are tons of interactive tutorials on subjects like ‘how to build’ etc. I walked around it for quite some time, looking at all the various exhibits. I came across this ‘complicated’ looking piece and thought to myself ‘wow, I’d bet that’s hard to build’.. Well, I followed the instructions and I was amazed at how easy it actually was.. really just a matter of using the ‘drag & copy’ technique with some ‘rotation’ thrown in for good measure. I think it’s simple techniques like this that are often overlooked.

So why not pay the Ivory Tower a visit…you might just learn something new!

Since we’re still having a few technichal problems I can’t post a link but here’s the slurl so you can copy/paste it into your browser.

I was browsing through Youtube today and came across some fantastic SL tutorials from the wonderful Torley Linden.  He really does put so much effort into making his video tutorials so informative and fun to watch. 

I myself am working on a little tutorial for using clothing templates so hopefully I’ll have that up and running very soon. Though it most definitely won’t be as ‘polished’ as Torley’s, I’ll do my best…  I’ve had so many people asking me about in in-world that I thought I may as well go ahead and do one.  As with nearly everything else in SL, all it takes is practice and lots of it.  I was sorting through my textures yesterday and I couldn’t believe it when I came across the TGA file for the very first item of clothing I created….not a pretty sight…lol

But the more I practiced and experimented, the more I improved and I learned something new everytime…

By the way, if you’ve found any great tutorial links…please feel free to mention them in your comments…

Okay, just to clarify things regarding the Photography Competition….

When you’ve subscribed,  you can then send your pics to me …. Pocket Pfeffer…. in-world, with all relevant information regarding which catagory you’d like your pics to be submitted into…etc

So get your cameras out and start snapping!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, for the last little while, I’ve been sticking to my strict rule of ‘NO MORE SHOPPING’….but unfortunately yesterday, I broke that rule…and to be honest, I’m glad I did.  The sale at ‘Last Call’ began again, and I just had to grab some more beautiful outfits.  It was actually difficult to spot items that I didn’t already have, but I perservered and picked up some more items to add to my already ‘overstuffed’ wardrobe…  So if you’ve a few spare L$, get yourself down to the sale at ‘Last Call’… all the outfits are priced at L$100 and believe me, they’re well worth it at this fantastic bargain price.  ‘Links’ don’t seem to like me very much at the moment, otherwise I’d post one, but I’m sure if you do a search you’ll have no problems locating the store.

I also bought myself yet another texture organizer….from Opus. As I may or may not have mentioned, I’m a bit of a ‘gadget freak’ and I like to buy them whether I need them or not.  This particular one has so many ‘bells & whistles’ that it’s hard to figure out where to begin, but once you get the hang of it, it’s great. I’ve reduced my inventory textures to the bare bones and if I need a particular texture, I just wear my ‘organizer hud’, find the one I want and take it back into my inventory.

‘Fleur’ skins are having a great offer….. you join the group, pick up your free gift card worth L$500 and you can use it to purchase any premium skin from their entire range of skins.  Though I’m not too sure if there’s a time limit on this offer but it’s certainly worth checking out.

After all that shopping, I do feel a little ‘drained’ but believe it or not, I may still have some energy left to do a little more!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yet another great competition for you guys… This time it’s a battle of the lens…in other words, a photography competition.  There will be 3 catagories, which I’m still trying to work out and an overall winner from all entries received.  The prize for the overall winner will be L$1000 and L$300 to each of the catagory winners.

To be eligible, you must subscribe to ‘SL Exposed’.

I’ll post all the relevant details on Saturday and the competition will begin on Monday.

Just one other thing…pictures will have to be full perms but be assured they’ll not be used for anything other than posting here on the blog and  must not be ‘photoshopped’, re-sized is fine as they’ll have to be 512×512 but no fancy filters etc…..just let your natural talent shine through…
