Sponsored by:  June 30, 2007 at 7:00 p.m CST (5:00 p.m. SL Time), talented Atlanta-based musician, Grace Buford, will be performing live to a small group gathered in Raleigh, North Carolina. That, in and of itself is not unusual. This is truly a unique performance. Not only will Ms. Buford play live to the group in Raleigh, NC she will also be playing to a much a larger crowd in the virtual world Second Live. Grace will "simulcast" in Second Life at SoHo-PodShow Island from the "Sunset Stage".

Sponsored by:  A VIRTUAL Manchester complete with virtual landmarks has been created by an Ardwick company which aims to be the biggest business in the city's `Second Life'.
Clicks and Links, which specialises in making the internet available to people who wouldn't otherwise discover it, have created a Manchester in the Second Life virtual world.
The city, which includes virtual bars and art galleries, could also include virtual apartment buildings if deals with developers in the real world are agreed.
Second Life is an internet-based virtual world which hit the headlines earlier this year. Real life people create internet-based versions of themselves called avatars, who can then buy, sell and socialise in the virtual world just as their first life creators can in theirs.
Today businesses and celebrities are setting up Second Life presences, and millions of pounds of real life business is being transacted there.

Sponsored by: Second Life resident Reina Drake reports that the real-life, U.S.-based National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is now assisting Linden Lab in setting in-world policy as far as sexual expression and content. Reina, founder of the in-world version of the NCSF, said today that the RL group’s spokeswoman, Susan Wright, sent her an e-mail about the policy collaboration. The SL version of the NCSF was launched in response to the post by Daniel Linden that announced new bans on sexual expression and content and set off a wave of outcry, criticism and protest among SL residents.
The letter appears promising, in that the NCSF seeks to work with LL “to help create an umbrella policy similar to safe, sane and consensual, as applied to the Internet.” (More details on that in the e-mail posted below.) But at least one part of Wright’s e-mail confuses us a bit. It states:

Letter from the Chairman of the Second Life Exchange Commission (SLEC)
For some the SLEC is a governing body, a setter of rules and an enforcer of will. Others may see it as a public relations organization and an ambassador to the Linden public at large. And still others see it as a forum for ideas and a platform to promote themselves and their business activities. Today, I will share with you my vision of the SLEC, not just what it is today but also what it will become tomorrow and into the future beyond.

 "This is a cool redistricting game that was launched out of the capitol building in Washington DC last week. It was created by the USC Game Innovation Lab and has been getting lots of press. It's about time someone took on a tough issue like redistricting reform using the power of the internet." It's crazy that gerrymandering is actually good fodder for a video game.

Anyone who has re-imagined herself as a stylish avatar on Second Life knows that the virtual world has considerable benefits. A bootylicous body is just a keystroke away—no need for the knife, or, god forbid, the butt blaster at the gym. You can even sport a lush foxtail—a kink that only mascots get away with in the physical world. It's fun, this digital living, but should it ever replace the old reality—even when that reality sucks? That's the question that occupies choreographer Paula Mann and media artist Steve Paul in The Closer I Get the Less I Believe It (A Journey Through the Uncanny Valley of Simulated Humanity), which premieres this weekend at the Ritz Theater.
