Launch… Opening… Soft Launch… Installation… Opening Day… whatever we’re calling it its scheduled for March 1, and there is a lot to do to get ready. Residents of Second Life, Prepare to be watched. I’ve been telling a few artists and podcasters about the project ahead of time trying to get the word out. I had a good conversation with Filthy Fluno an artisit and Radar Masukami and Chugabug Goodnight from the excellent podcast SL Under the Radar. I was feeling indignant that guy Filthy stole my idea of the super-random-incongruous-viking-hat…. until I remembered where I stole the idea from before that, even so, i’m sticking with it because lets face it… Viking hats are awesome.:)

Hey guys, this is Winky also known as “Winky Republic” in Second Life. I’m happy to be apart of the Brooklyn is watching group so let’s begin with a little bit about myself. Born and raised in the Bronx of New York, I am currently attending New York City College of Technology or what we like to call City Tech. I’m studying Communication Design where I hope to pursue my profession towards the online community. When I heard of Second Life and what it meant to me, I thought of the next evolution for social content and expression. I mean sure we all have our Myspace and Facebook web sites, but they can only go so far without witnessing some kind interaction or movement as we do in real life. Sitting around clicking the refresh button a thousand times to see if you have anything new in your inbox isn’t exactly as engaging as walking around in someone’s world, looking at their vision. It’s quite exciting to explore and communicate in this fashion, and I hope to see many of you there in Second Life.
