Hither, thither, and sometimes yon ...

Well, Eschatos was unexpectedly all over the place today. Frankly, I had a big research project going unattended in the task bar while various places drew our virtual presence. First was a bit of "getting ducks in a row" over at Club Mannequin (LINK) where I snapped this pic of club manager Jada Hoyer getting the music mix together for an upcoming fashion show ...



But that didn't take much of my day, however in the early afternoon, a call went out to the Non-Profit Commons (LINK) group list from Kali Idziak, asking if anybody could come by the sim to act as something of an impromptu "welcoming committee". It turns out that MSNBC had published a rather extensive article about the NPC entitled Pixelanthropy: Charities tap into Second Life this morning, and that quite a few folks were wandering in, having read that.



I hung out there for a while, and then went to check out Coughran Mayo's new island for his non-profit (I don't think they're quite ready for visitors), and then followed up on some really cool in-world features that I'd noticed In Kenzo's phone exhibiting (going over to a build that she'd done for the Canadian "Telus" phone group). Hendry Goldkey, founder of Simuality, has the same phone (a MotoQ) and was very interested in all the stuff Telus had it doing. Needless to say, I'm sort of hoping that this will end up with us all getting "company phones" that will shift phone calls and e-mail in and out of world!
