Meet me in the second life!

Meet me in the second life... and no, I am not referring to meeting me in Heaven after we die.  I am actually referring to meeting me in "Second Life", the new virtual world on the internet.  Second Life is an Internet-based 3D virtual world in which user's can explore, converse, chat, and participate in individual or group activities.  In addition, user's can create and/or trade 3D virtual properties and objects.  I had never heard of this website until my third class in my Master's degree program, and after visiting this sight for the first time, I found out that it actually is like a whole another world. 

This free-client program allows users, known as Residents, to meet up and converse using characters that they can personalize, called "Avatars."  This three-dimensional modeling tool is a great way for businesses or universities to participate in conference calls or group meetings without actually having to talk on the phone, or meet up in person.  I have explored through this program, but I haven't mastered it quite yet.  However, if you are interested in learning more about creating 3D virtual objects, or you're just bored with the first life, then go check it out.
