Happy New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Avatar, and all the scripts in C##!

Friendly greetings to Rod Humble, the new CEO of Linden Lab and King of Second Life... may his reign not rain on our parades.

(Spare the Rod my grief, but spoil the child-avatar?)

Hopefully the Lab all ate black-eyes peas for good luck, because they've certainly picked up their share of black eyes in the press this year.

Guess what, Mr. and Mrs. Avatar!

The Grid's Honest Truth #5 is now online, with #6 and #7 coming soon.

Unless, of course, we have to rollback the Treet.TV servers, which means we'll have to hold yet another star-studded premiere party full of gifts and prizes and...

Oh. That's right. We didn't have one of those.

Instead of a limo and a driver, I get a notecard full of landmarks.

Nothing but the best for your pal SecondLie!

Texas, She Of The Texas-Sized-Heart, tells me that we're now up on iTunes, helping Steve Jobs take over the world one MacAddict at a time:

Answering the protests...

As my third Grid's Honest Truth hits the airwaves, I'd like to take a moment to answer the protests organized by the SLSPCVA
(Second Life Society For The Prevention of Cruelty To Virtual Animals)
regarding my riding a shark like a surfboard.

The shark is stuffed, just like my pants.

As for your concern that my Linden Bears are manufactured using
unsustainable means through unethical business practices, I do not need
remind you that this is Second Life, and there's no such thing as ethical
business practices here, let alone any business practices at all!

Insincerely,
SecondLie
