Well.. I'm addicted to Second Life - it's official

Yes, I've now gone onto stage 2 of my addiction to Second Life by buying an avatar with some of my hard earned cash - and yes, I know I've got nothing to show for my money other than a few admittedly nice looking pixels, but it just had to be done !

Here I am, looking very smug after putting on my new "suit" :

Yes, I went for the "furry suit" option when creating my SL self (called Gypsum Kidd by the way !) - more fun than the human option I reckon !! Check out the custom HUD (Heads Up Display) for the avatar on the bottom right of that photo - it controls things like whether I show my fangs, bare my claws, wag my tail and close or open my eyes - all very important in this weird world !

Here's a video of me sitting at a lovely executive's desk in @Home island (kind of like a large electronics store) - I'm still playing around with the video - for some reason it plays very fast and I haven't found a way to reduce the frame rate yet, but bear with me !
