Like so much in Second Life the joke wears off in about 5 minutes. Second Life needs to work more on interesting things that will be long term engaging, beyond just cybersex.

Burning Life 2009, perhaps the first event that you had to be entirely out of world to have not heard about, is coming to an end. This is your last weekend to see it http://slurl.com/secondlife/Burning%20Life-Washoe/14/235/25
But the hype around the event has assured tonnes of videos and pictures have been taken. My interest tends more to be to cover the things that get overlooked or will never be recorded.

These are scenes made from Google Earth, Second Life and EVE. Imagine if these world could link up in to an attached experience. Moving from a social space like SL to a detailed space map like Google, mixed with space exploration from a site like EVE.

Antiquity Cathedral is at the centre of a 1800s Victorian Community.
There note card reads
Antiquity is an 1800's / Victorian community that combine the elegance of the
period with the roughness of the past.
Part of the charm for this
community is the pirates of Tortuga that battle for ownership of the seas.

Aubade Manor is owned by Cathryn Beaumont and Sion Tendaze, both major fans of Neo-Victorianism in Second Life. In Cathryn's profile she says
On Feb 9, 2008, Sion Tendaze and I were married. This made me RL (as well as SL)
happy! On June 14, 2009, Sion was in an airship accident in SL, his body has not
been recovered. This made me RL (as well as SL) unhappy. A light has gone out in
my world.
Rise Of A Noble House
Note card says
A series of dioramae, rendered as hand-colored tintypes, depicting the rise of the Shetland clan from provincial backwater merchants to one of the leading houses in the restoration senate.
The tintype is a wet-plate photographic technique from the Victorian era. They were sometimes tinted with paints or enamels after having been made.
The current diorama is always available for free; just buy it at L$0.
The exhibit is on display in a number of locales, including the Aho Museum, the breathtaking Ode sim, and the Pink Candy live music venue. It's permanent home, however is in Antiquity Harbor, at the Sacred Diorama Theater.
This one I actually like a bit. Though I always wonder why Virtual Reality from EVE to Second Life has to be about rising in the Capitalist system.
