All Hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster

When Facebook asked me what religion I follow, I initially left the field blank. Then I realized "Hey wait! I'm a Pastafarian!"

So now my profile is correct. w00t!

Using Second Life as a (regular old) Resident

It's really weird being on the other side of the fence now. To tell the truth, I have had a better time using SL in the last three days than I did when working for Linden Lab. I guess it's because I can finally relax and be myself -- not trying to hide my allegiance to the company or get annoyed with things I can't fix. Instead, I'm now a regular ol' Resi...and actually loving it!

The first day of the rest of my life!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I have left my role as Program Manager at Linden Lab and am moving on (figuratively and literally) to a new life. I will update everyone once we're settled in our new digs. For now, though...time to pack. (Have I mentioned how much I *love* moving? :-P )

My favorite new book

Given reviews I've read, I seem to be in the minority of readers who enjoyed Grey by Jon Armstrong.

And you know, I don't care. Grey was a revelation -- I haven't read a book so unique in years. It's a mix of sci-fi, high fashion, music, and social commentary. Sure, it's a future-day Romeo and Juliet story but that's what makes it so interesting. Knowing how that story ends keeps you guessing through the whole book. The Pure-H fashion world reminded me of Japan, and Armstrong confirms this suspicion on his website.

I am not doing the book justice with this meandering "review." Just take my word for it and find out for yourself.

Beware your darkest fears...
