Pais Kidd’s Weblog

Those whom the gods love grow young.

- Oscar Wilde

This is the blog of of an avatar in second life. My intro blog entry tells about how Pais Kidd came to be.

I am really of two minds when it comes to what I have to say about second life. One is talking about my life there, events, people, and so forth. The other perspective is that of the person behind the avatar - I have may thoughts on what makes the it interesting, the psychology of the place, the social and cultural implications, and the potential future directions for the technology.

So far, I have decided that the voice being presented here needs to be mostly that of Pais as he lives in his world. I expect his readers will be primarily friends of Pais and therefore to speak about the meta-musings would simply tear down the proverbial fourth wall of the world. Even though, I can’t help to put in some of the voice and thoughts of the human behind Pais into the content.

I have enjoyed the comments and emails people have sent in response to my blogs. I wouldn’t be doing this without hearing something back. If you don’t feel like commenting where everyone can see, you can email pais.kidd at sbcglobal.net
