New Media – All Growed Up!

Over the last few months I have been introduced to a variety of new media tools and social networks. As a “recovering” social networking addict, I am weary to jump on any new boats before deciding if I will use the services for sure…that being said, sometimes you really gotta join up and give it a try before you can officially decide if you will use it.

Since joining Twitter (back in February I think) there have been a lot of other similar micro-blogging/life logging site popping up…Jaiku, pownce,even Twitku – which lets you post to Twitter, Jaiku and even Pownce all at once! Some of these have advanced features and better tools even, but my loyalty remains with Twitter.

Well, New Media is growing up and growing fast! In the past month I have joined two more socnets – Utterz, which I guess is best described an audio version of Twitter? Utterz lets me call in and leave a message for anyone willing to listen to retrieve. It also lets me post photos and video, but the main attraction is the audio – I can do audio! I don’t, but I can! heh.

And now Seesmic! I don’t really like the name, but I think I am starting to “get it”. After a week of watching my friend Jeremy play around with it and eventually banning Seesmic from our conversations until I was able to try it out myself, I think I like it. That being said, I don’t think you will see much from me on it. I’m still in the podcasting stone ages…just barely producing enough shows to keep myself from podfading…speaking of which, I totally need to edit last weeks Broad-Cast!

Anyway – here it is…my first un-official first Seesmic:

Another RL/SL Mash-update

I suppose it’s time for me to drop the attempt to label my posts RL -Real Life and SL – Second Life in hopes to make things easier on my readers. My Real Life is my Second Life and they over lap more and more in many ways. For some this makes sense, but for many others it’s not easily understood…like my parents who “just don’t get it”.

Well, time for an update none the less. I’ve been mentally blogging all of this for over a week now… so much has happened that I am sure I won’t remember it all, but let’s try.

Last time I posted we had just celebrated Kat’s birthday. Lostmedia couldn’t make it, but he did craft her a beautiful Emu, which she has named Tetley. We’ll need to build him a pen on the side of the house, but for now I’ve locked him in her room.

I discovered how many chocolate martinis are too many at the wedding of my friends Hope & Rob.

Redd built us a radio station – The KLAW!! Killian is Station Slacker and I’m Program Director, but I also reserve the right to slack.

I attended the monthly Bootie SL party at the Parkade club. Lostmedia and I tore up the dance  floor.

Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary came to Second Life for an interview with Pica Paperdoll to promote the upcoming Beowulf movie.

Crayon unveiled their Virtual Thirst machine – there are 3 versions , which are all free to have and use.

We were treated to a concert with Hali Heron (Matthew Ebel)  to celebrate . Lots of SLebrities attended.

I attended, not one, but two Virtual CSI Dance Parties!  Archer and I bust a move.

Back to my old stomping grounds, I heat things up in SoHo with a Rockin Dance Party.

The weather turns to rain on the KSU Campus and it’s time to pull out the sweaters and scarfs. 

Keiko comes to KSU and rocks the stage in the events center.

Cherry has a Rez day! That’s me in the baby panda costume  :)

and finally…Windlight returns to SL in the First Look viewer!! This pic reminds me soo much of my home town in NH. I can’t wait to take more pics now and play with the settings.

Well, that’s about all I can remember for now…and time to head to dreamland.

RL/SL Mashup: Kat’s Rez Day!

Hey all!

It’s been a while since I actually wrote something. I stuck a silly Twitter feed in, but it was ugly and not really what I was lookin for. Hope to have some time this weekend to make some slight mods here and there to my blogs.

So, I came here mainly to show off the fun I had throwing my BFF, Kat, not one – but two Rez Day Parties in Second Life! Today marked the 1 year mark of when she first joined SL! I started the day feeling like the worst friend in the world for pretty much forgetting to plan this, even tho I had planned to plan! RL has been a lil hectic for me lately, plus my job seems to be picking up in a really great way. :)

I have yet to upload and sort all the pics I took this past weekend at my RL Friend, Hope’s, Wedding. Soon tho – Hope they are having fun on their Honeymoon!

Okay on to some party pics!

WOO Party Pyramid!!

We started off at the caffeine au go-go in CaLLiefornia – Thank CaLlie for letting us crash!

Of course SL was being mean, and Kat crashed. When she came back she couldn’t get back to us, so I headed to KSU (Mobile Party!)

We had a blast!! Thanks to every one who came and shook a lil bootie! :) Even Ms. President herself popped in… she busted Sylar for an empty beer bottle. LOL

I’m all partied out – here are the pics! Enjoy!!  Kat’s Rez Day Party on Flickr
