I logged in today to find my avatar ruthed and yes, he was wearing a purple shirt and red pants but there was something strange about it. My ruthed avatar was tall for a ruthed avatar look.
The surrounding area also looked strange and different. Almost all of the textures didn’t load making everything looks sad and gray. Am I still in Second Life?
Fortunately, I wasn’t in Second Life. The avatar you saw is indeed my avatar but that photo wasn’t taken in-world Second Life. The photo or snapshot was taken in-world OSGrid.
OSGrid is like the Open Source version of Second Life’s grid. It uses OpenSim, an Open Source version of Second Life’s server or simulator code. OSGrid is pretty much like Second Life, what you can do in Second Life you can do it also in OSGrid although many features are still underdevelopment and OSGrid also uses the Second Life client. If you have Second Life installed then you can use that to login into OSGrid.
With Open Source projects like OpenSim and OSGrid, the ability to manage and operate your own region or sim is becoming closer and closer to the public’s reach.
Other Open Source Grids:
These grids, together with OpenSim, are still work in progress so don’t expect any stability from them but you can try any of them. You don’t need to download any viewer if you are just planning to visit in-world. Second Life’s viewer will work just fine. Instructions are available from their websites.

Call me a caveman but this is the first time I’ve heard of these things and I think it’s a cool idea, digital photo frame.
I guess this is for people who have tons or gigabytes of digital photos all stored away in discs like myself. I have like, hundreds of CDs with family photos in them. I’d like to display all of them but printing high quality photos is a little bit expensive but I did print some of the really good ones.
With a digital photo frame, I guess you don’t need to print all your photos. You just copy them into a memory card, stick it in the digital photo frame, turn it on and, voila, your photos are ready for display and viewing. By they way, it does not only display photos, it can also play your favorite movie clips and have sounds or background music too. Preferences and settings are adjusted through a remote control.
Being able to display or show your photos or movie clips anywhere in your home or office is a cool idea and if price is not a problem for you then give this baby a try.
Hey wait, with this you’ll also be able to display all your beautiful Second Life photos and I’m sure many of you got 1 or 2 in-world photos you’d really like to display. I know I am!

We all know that Teens are not allowed in Second Life but fortunately for them there is Teen Second Life. Now, what about the really young ones? There’s absolutely no Second Life for them but that doesn’t mean they can’t have fun, right?
Well, there are so many gaming websites and games out there that cater to kids and one website or company that provide such games is Midoritech. They have games for kids like the Beauty Salon which is a manga style dress up game and the Lady Bug, a really cute game that will challenge and stimulate your kids’ thinking and color recognition skill and at the same time have fun.
Midoritech has pc games, mac games and even online versions of their games.
By the way, adults can play them too. LOL!
