I'm so SL old-school I have a freebie of 200 SL landmarks in my store, almost all of them places the Moles built long ago. Thank you for keeping these old posts alive. I come to read them sometimes to remind myself of what all those lost weekends were about.</p>
<p>On January 1, 2004, I was in my home office browsing the web but keeping an eye on the big TV in the living room. I was waiting for the Rose Bowl football game to start on TV. Somehow I came upon the Second Life website. I have no memory of how that happened. I had no idea what a virtual world was. With probably half an hour until the football game came on, I registered for Second Life just to see what it was. I missed most of the football game in between watching Primitars, seeing a few weird prim snakes, and crashing and coming back as Ruth. Four years later, in 2008, SL was a mess, always having problems, so I thought I would quit SL for good. I deleted my original A1A account. But about three months later, I missed being in SL and came back as Luther Weymann. And that’s how I got to Second Life, soon to be 20 years ago.<br />
