For the handful of Mekkers out there who may have wondered where I've gone....
Well, I am one month into my new internet addiction, Second Life (http://secondlife.com).
When I first got online it was chatrooms that caught my fancy.... Then Half Life took over. Then I discovered PC Mechanic. Then I drifted from y'all and got into Counter Strike and then got into blogging and kind of meandered my way back here, stopping to play FEAR and whatnot....
Then came Second Life. I have been in-world for a month now and folks, and let me tell ya, what a ride!
It's an immersive virtual world where you get your own fully animated and customizable avatar. It is basically a glorified chatroom combined with an intense graphical experience.
You can do ALL sorts of things here. I, myself, prefer human interactions... I mainly make friends and have fun with them in-world. I rent a home, am setting up a treehouse right now with a dear friend from Britain; I have parachuted off a hot air balloon and then gathered with my fellow jumpers on the bottom of the Baltic Sea: I have scuba-dived, roller skated, danced, flown like Superman, teleported around the world, shot and caged a friend, and all kinds of crazy, fun things....
I put up a blurb about it with some pics on my blog here (http://lonelymans.blogspot.com/2007/04/apologia-about-my-lack-of-blogging-no-i.html).
I have given up TV, movies, pc games, my kids and church and invest all my time in Second Life.... Just kidding about kids and church....
So, if you're looking for a new pasttime and wanna have some fun and explore different parts of your personality, check it out! But watch out- it's addicting! Don't say I didn't warn you....
You can find me by doing a People search for Hamlet Ducatillon.
