Well if you’re reading this you have found the fantastic beginning of nand Nerd’s blog. nand Nerd (no capital on the nand) is a resident in the virtual world of Second Life (SL). What is Second Life? A very good question, I could attempt to answer that by saying it’s a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) but that generalisation doesn’t encompass all of Second Life’s patrons. I’ve heard mention SL is the next generation MySpace, however having never looked at a MySpace profile I’d be the last to comment on this description. The list of possible answers to “What is Second Life” could continue, and perhaps it should by interviewing a broad selection of SL’ers (Second Lifers or Second Life Residents) but thats beyond the scope of this opening blog post (damn I’m padding this out way more than I had intended). Second Life to me is a medium for which to build, script and interact. I like nothing more than spending a few hours pottering about with the Second Life building tools. Perhaps spend a couple of evenings working on a script. But mostly I like the interaction with friends I have made through Second Life, friends who range from all over the globe.
Well if you made it this far congrats, heres hoping I’ll not ramble as much on my next post and we’ll see some descriptions of the types of building/scripting/interaction of which I mentioned.
Until next time, take care.
