A Second Life to live over again. Now, that's a concept!

If Linden (SL) dollars can convert to US dollars, then that would be great if time spent in Second Life was just as valuable as time spent in real life.

How about going to school in Second Life instead of going to school in real life? How about starting a business in Second Life instead of real life?

I think we are onto something here.

We could telecommute to our Second Life job just as well as we could telecommute to our real life job.

Hey, that sounds great. Do you think we can work it out so we can fly SL passengers from one place to another and make some Lindens? How about becoming a SL pilot?

My coworker is a die hard SL fan. He is always on SL while at work. Guess what, his avatar is a female too.

Our work's firewall blocks all the game sites or servers so we have to use our own wireless card/phones to connect to the game servers.

When my co-worker saw what I could do with my cell phone (phone as modem feature), he ordered one right away and now all he does is play SL at work.

It is pretty cool though. But I will stick with FS forever.

Maybe someday Microsoft will buy out SL and merge all of the sims.
