BTW, I am slowly making this place home and stepping away from SLU for various reasons.

I have always felt the best way to join a group is to just show up and act like you belong there; in a few days you will.
So, this is me acting like I belong here :)
Welcome Rhonda. You look beautiful in the coffee pics.

Yes, I keep waiting for you to collect on it I should say. Remember? I'd do anything for 10l...:p
Oh, yeah, that... :D You like suspense, right?

Girl dies Tweeting in the tub
By Christopher Null


.People, people, people. Web 2.0 can do a lot of things, but it doesn't change the laws of physics, particularly in regards to the transmission of electricity.

To wit: A teenage girl was discovered dead this weekend, electrocuted after dropping her laptop in the bathtub.

Why did she need a computer in the tub? So she could update Twitter. About what she was tweeting remains unclear, but it was hopefully something more meaningful than the soap she was using.

Maria Barbu, 17, of Brasov, Romania, is said to have been plugging her laptop into wall current at the time, after "the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a soak."

Additional details are lacking, and are unlikely to be forthcoming anytime soon. And it's unclear whether the laptop slipped from her hands or if she was so wet that the water dripping off of her closed the circuit and caused the shock.

Either way, any technology user should know by now that computers and bathrooms simply don't mix. (If you aren't worried about electrocution, think of the germs, won't you?) While GFCI circuits were designed to prevent tragedies such as the all-too-common hair-dryer-in-the-tub accident, they aren't perfect, and they aren't universal, especially overseas.

And seriously, can't Twitter wait until you get out of the bathtub?

Wow. One dance and now all of a sudden you two are "going together".


3Ring is very popular... I'm sure her dress at the party had nothing to do with it...

/me patiently waits for the day he sees a similar headline for SL. Any takers on what that headline might be?

"Second Life Player drowns after slipping in his bath tub when he confused the soap for a pose ball"

Yeah yeah I know that wasn't very good but I'm sure you guys can come up with better headlines. Let's hear them! :)

WOW. I'm amazed it still passed inspection :p


I think it's registered as non-operational. Prob'ly normally up on blocks at Philip's place.

OMG! for a sec i thought that was a real photo of a real place in the real world. very nice, Mari!


Thankoo! I think if I could run the shadow clients, it woulda taken it right over the top.

From: Seven Okelli
These two I particularly like.

The one of the airport is evocative. There are some times in SL when you look out at a panorama and are left wordless.

Someone wrote this short story about a man trying to explain to a blind man what a cathedral is. He can't, so the blind man says, "Draw it for me" and he puts his hand on the drawing hand.

After a while he gets the idea that it's about space.


Ya, that was some of what I wanted to get. That sense of scale and scope. It is hard to get an "exciting" photograph of an airport, after all. :)

From: Brenda Connolly
I stopped by Mari's Birthday build a little while ago. Even though it made my computer want to run away, it was worth it. Great job to Mari and her little friends.


Glad you enjoyed! An ya, it can be a bit of a rough sim at times: the main stage shares the region :eek:
