Designers and builders featured here range from artist Toast Bard, the eclectic Nylon Pinkney, freebies goldmine Forseti Svarog, builder Ingrid Ingersoll, [...]

“Virtual worlds can be valuable places where children rehearse what they will do in real life,” states this BBC article about its own Children’s BBC virtual world game Adventure Rock.

Did a spot of Foo navigation in Second Life (where I type random words into Search and teep to the first available hit I get, whatever it is), when I came across Liquid Heat.

Rac had a nice looking sim before, but the new improved model is sleek and open and rezzes faster. And so shiny! You feel like you have arrived at the Grand Central of Skin and Hair City, and that’s no accident of design.
Laqroki is so new that you can almost smell the plastic wrapping, but [...]

We heard about a place from this old dude where the surfing was totally awesome. A place that was hard to get to, which few people knew about. So we packed up our boards and our camera and headed there in our beat-up old combie. This is what we found…
