Linden Lab has long granted licenses to Second Life residents for the taking of snapshots and machinima, reflecting how Second Life was established as a user created space that encouraged creativity and content reuse. In many other games, where they were created by teams of developers, the making of machinima was contested as a breach […]
First of all thank you! The response I’ve had to my work during 2016 has been astonishing. While it’s important to find your own voice in creativity and follow your own ideas, I like to know that I am connecting with people. This year’s review is different.

I was not sure about doing this project, but several things came together. It seems appropriate that this should be my 100th blog post. This will be my third video this year. […]
There’s been a few of musings about what Second Life means to residents recently in response to Xiola Linden’s video share request, and Huckleberry Hax has done a particularly good video about his feelings.
