Frontline’s Digital Nation

I meant to catch this last night but will watch it later today online and discuss amongst my fellow SLers. I’m kinda nervous about a PBS vilification.

So, this is a blog? I honestly can’t say I know what to do or expect or anticipate — maybe it’s just a catch all for thoughts and things I like. We’ll see. I’m just considering this a soft rollout and a pseudo-review of the snow.white skybox by Jordan Giant found here on Xstreet SL.

I’ve always liked the idea of having a place in SL…a home. And really, I’ve always had one. Starting out as a renter on an estate like I’m sure a lot of folks do. Then a bigger parcel. And bigger. Until finally I bought mainland. I don’t even remember the name of the first sim, but I jumped from plot to plot over the years. The builds were all over the place, too. From grungy warehouse to waterfront office space to beautiful but empty, sterile and cavernous homes. It was a love/hate relationship. I wanted to experience a place that provided me belonging and solace. But still I felt alone. I never called my places “my house” or “our house” (in the case I was with another SLer at the time.) It was always “my land.”

That changed suddenly and very unexpectedly when one of my oldest and dearest friends, Melanie, suggested we create something together. I guess we could have lived in a cardboard box at that point But I had already been combing through the Second Spaces blog and simply fell in love with the snow.white skybox and I knew it would be perfect. Second Spaces has been a great resource for all kinds of interiors choices. Elle Kirshner’s whip smart, design savvy and has lots of wonderful items in her store that have found their way into our skybox. But that’s another story.

I don’t think it’s really necessary to review the skybox after all. It’s not a particularly new release and there’s way better writers out there with more history and experience in design and fashion who have blogged it.

For me it’s home. And that’s what really matters

Thanks to Melanie for the lovely photo of our place.
