I live near the beach. I lift weights. I walk. I meal prep. I also spend an embarrassing amount of time behind screens. This video isn't about fitness. It's about trying to stay healthy while living a very digital life. And yes, French pastries are discussed.

We have absolutely no topic planned for tomorrow's livestream, which is either a terrible idea or the start of a great conversation. Join Kimmy, Clownie and me and find out which.

I’ve read hundreds of comments about Second Life membership increase. Now I’m curious what people are actually doing rather than what they say they’re doing. 📊 Poll youtube.com/post/Ugkxdq0...

Land prices ↓ Membership prices ↑ So... is Second Life actually becoming more affordable, or are costs simply being shifted around? After reading the announcement, the comments, and way too many debates, here's my take

Linden Lab Says Second Life Is More Affordable. Is It Really?

🎥 New video coming. I've read the announcement. I've read the comments. I've read the emails. I've read the math. And somehow I have more questions than answers. Land prices ↓ Membership prices ↑ "Expanded value" 🤔 See you soon.

Everyone talks about Second Life, VRChat and IMVU. Meanwhile, a virtual world from 1995 is quietly carrying on like it's nobody's business.

You learn more about a platform from the people who stayed than the people selling it. #Metaverse #VirtualWorlds

We spend so much time asking what a platform can do. Older communities often ask a better question: Who’s still here? #vzones

People say online friendships aren’t real until they lose one. #DigitalLife

“Second Life isn’t real.” Tell that to the creator who turned a Photoshop hobby into a full-time income. Ten years. One brand. Zero traditional business plan. Are virtual careers the future… or a fragile illusion? New video 👇

Valentine’s Day question for the digitally brave: Would you fall in love with someone you’ve never touched? Going live with Cole to talk online relationships, long-distance dynamics, and why connection doesn’t always need geography.

Meta Realities Unscripted ep 5: Is Online Love Real Love?

It’s Valentine’s Day. Let’s make it complicated. Cole and I are going live to ask the question everyone pretends not to have an opinion about: Would you fall in love with someone you’ve never touched?...

The video that was meant to go up tomorrow morning (Aussie time) has been delayed. Reason: I couldn’t decide on accessories. Filming take less time than outfit decisions, which feels illegal but here we are. Coming very soon. I promise. 🙃

Andy’s off this week, so I’m shaking things up. Joining me instead is Cole from GHB. Same livestream, different dynamic. Let’s see where the conversation goes youtube.com/live/rO9DUzI...

Going live today to talk about the word friends. How it changed, how we use it now, and why it often feels off in digital spaces. Livestream later. Come share your perspective.

Meta Realities Unscripted ep 2: What Do We Really Mean When We Say Friends

I keep seeing "looking for friends" posts everywhere. Friendship didn't break with the internet. It was already complicated in the 80s with just landlines and basements. We blame the platforms, but maybe the real issue is thinking connection should be easy. It never has been.

Making Friends Was Always Complicated

Context matters. One image reflects the platform as it exists. The other reflects an interpretation layered on top. How do these two images shape your understanding of the same scene?

Livestream moved earlier than planned. Going live shortly. Sorry for the sudden switch.

Day one of 2026 and the grid is already wide awake. Still paying attention.

Not everyone celebrates. Not everyone’s okay. This is just a thank you to the friends I found this year, and to everyone who shared a moment along the way.

Remove the brand name and the tiny caption. What’s being sold here? A dress? An AO? A skin? Jewellery? A stock image? And would you know this is a Second Life avatar? Because I wouldn’t. If the logo has to explain it, the ad already failed.

Mobile downloads are not the same thing as growth. They tell us how effective ads are, not whether people understand or stay in Second Life. Retention, not installs, is the metric that matters.

If Linden Lab wanted to compare RL vs SL, maybe… use an actual human? AI slop isn’t helping anyone understand how Second Life works. It just makes newbies think we walk like Pixar extras. #secondlife

Signature pushed a huge update and a male friend proclaims the body is “irrelevant.” Fine. Poll time. youtube.com/post/Ugkxkat...

Turns out, sitting can be cinematic. MOVE Animations and Kraftwork teamed up—and my avatar hasn’t stopped fidgeting since. 💡 Watch “When Furniture Learns to Move” #secondlife

We don’t need demos at supermarkets because we can see what we’re buying & return it if it’s bad. In Second Life, we can’t. No refunds. No guarantees. How is that hard to get? We work real jobs to buy your stuff. We just want what we pay for.

So Legacy says the free body’s already in your inventory… sure, but without the HUD it’s basically a free car with no keys. Technically yours, but you’re not driving anywhere.
