Second Life and Van Gogh

I've been spending a little time in Second Life recently thanks to a professor who suggested it. I've heard of SL for years, but to an introvert (at least this introvert) a graphical chat room just didn't seem to hold much appeal. I'm finding though that SL, like "first life", is pretty much what you make it.

This video by Robbie Dingo highlights for me some of the appeal of SL as he recreates one of my favorite paintings - "Starry Night" by Van Gogh . I just wish the area still existed to explore. Exploration has been so much fun in SL even when I'm just exploring new shops for clothing that works well for amply proportioned avatars. Being fat in SL is a bit of an adventure in itself!

For anyone else in SL who admires Van Gogh, check out Virtual Starry Night if you haven't already done so. It's one of my favorite spots. That link will take you right to it in SL, and if you don't have SL, then the link won't do much for you, but you can check out a promotional video of the area. See, I'm trying to take care of all of you. :D
