My Ride

My Ride

6 Republic is now open and it's one of my favourite events. Happening twice a year in May and November there is always so much excitement and buzz around the event in the run up to it. It always opens on the 6th day of the relative month and I've been super busy for the last [...]

I've realised over the last few weeks and months that changing a mindset that you've been in and feel entrenched in is really hard.

Rare Sighting in Second Life…A Mainstore Release!

I love sales events...hell I work for one! Like everyone else I'm there day one banging on the door trying to get in and see what's available, new and shiny. I also love to support stores that do mainstore releases. I used to run a feature on the blog called Mainstore Monday and I've had [...]

Choosing Wisely

Choosing Wisely

The problem with knowing if you made the right decision about something is that you never know until it's too late. Whatever you did either succeeds or fails.
