I’m Here to Represent

Yesterday I talked about earworms so let's get this one out of the way early on....It's a Small World after all! (apologises and begs forgiveness of everyone that is cussing me out right now). Yesterday I was talking to some potential staff members for as part of a recruitment process in SL and the subject [...]

Y’all Need Jesus

Y’all Need Jesus

I've talked before about forgiveness. It's one of those things I wish I was better at for no other reason than people I know who are able to forgive easily tell me it makes them feel better.  They tell me that they forgive for themselves not for other people. I was joking with a friend [...]

Look for the Bare Necessities

Look for the Bare Necessities

Everyone's a critic! I've noticed it a lot this week in Second Life particularly. Now, I believe constructive criticism is important. To self-critique ourselves and our work is vital if we want to improve either as people or to create better products or services. But there is a chasm of difference between feedback and just [...]
