Second Life gets more real by the day. Last night I had my first micro-flash mob experience in Second Life.
It started with myself and Gilbert Frederick who met to discuss plans to build a studio. The next thing we know Mitch Till offers me a teleport to meet his BFF, Koz Farina (who works at Podcast.com in his first life)
Mitch and I were chatting via Skype, Gilbert and I over the phone and Koz and I through the Second Life client.
Koz is DA MAN! He kindly walked us through his place he's building...and in this picture, all four of us are actually listening to ATS #38 (which I had uploaded a few hours prior) on Koz's Podcast Jukebox. The jukebox pulls any podcast's RSS feed on demand! Koz then showed us a flat screen monitor which displays slideshows pulled directly from Flickr.
I took a ride on his water slide and then the four of us set off into the sunset in his speedboat. What a night!

As I get more involved in Second Life, I am starting to realize how psychotic I must sound when I talk about it in real life (or First Life). You can read about some of my Second Life antics over... [Read More]

Is Koz Farina his RL or SL name? I'm a SLer too (Miller Copeland), as well as involved with photography in RL; I'd love a chance to contact him and learn more about this Flickr monitor he's put together.

Hi Joseph,
Indeed, what a ride, both the water slide and the pen boat of Podcast.com Island!
Lots of eye-opening opportunities to grasp in SL for anybody looking to connect on a global scale.
I had enjoyed it all the way!
Take care.
Salutations to Mitch and Koz

Too bad about the boat.
That was a lot of fun. If you can hunt down Koz, be sure to check out his magnetic swings. He's doing some fascinating experiments in Second Life.
You can hunt me down as well: Mitch Till.
Joe, you ARE the king of the world (well, at least Second Life).

ha!! what in earth (real or virtual) is a BFF?
:)
Yeah - sorry the boat crashed - it was due to virtual barbed wire which ppl can put around their land - it can 'eject' you with interesting results ;)

Joeseph - Kosso fowarded me your post - Cool Beans that you and 'Koz' had a 'flash-mob SL meet-up' - I've been a ATS listener for quite awhile and think our mutual view of the world is simpatico..;) Looking forward to chatting with you in RL about Podcast.com - meanwhile keep an eye out for Scooter Serf in SL hanging around the RSS Platform in Second Life.
