New to the virtual world? Visit The SL Torch Guide - Lanai Jarrico Reporting...


someone should have told me silks weren't for clubbing back in 2006


Being a newbie can be overwhelming and downright awkward with embarrassing clothing and hair malfunctions while bumping into every object and other avatars in a sloppy stumble through Second Life. It truly is a hideous sight to observe. Especially when dealing with newbies that ransack freebie prop shops and are strapped heavily with an arsenal of griefer gadgets. My first experience with such a Noob griefer did not end very pleasantly for either of us. His naked avatar along with his chicken on a stick prop came to me asking for a job. Needless to say, he was not hired. He was instead ejected and banned from the media center and I have been left emotionally scarred for SLife by the whole ordeal ever since.

The New PODEX Exchange Visa Card You Can Use to Pay Bills, Make Online Purchases or even Withdraw from an ATM. How’s That for Some Real Perks? Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

Podex Exchange


As a VW reporter I hear all sorts of interesting things from people. If I wanted to sit here all day and gossip or dishing out scoops about awesome people, I would be a popular lunch lady. Nonetheless, here’s a little food for thought.I was told Second Life was really created as a place for the founding virtual nerds to test new concepts and ideas. Rather than let the grid get lost in cyberspace, one person’s idea of offering it over to users on a global platform was a big hit, making that person a “GOD “to avatars. These days the Lindens, are treated more like fallen angels that don’t show up when called upon or lack the ability to create miracles for residents. Once again, we find ourselves with free will, our own imagination and choices to make as long as we don’t break the terms of service. We have the choice to squander our time role playing, getting down to business or a little bit of both. In the years I have spent observing the Second Life community the business sector has grown dramatically. Back in 2005, avatars were still a bit wet behind the ears in business. Many premium members produced freebies and corner shops in countless malls or used rental ad boards at different in-world venues. You can still see that today but the difference is, those that are successful, utilize more media sources, social networks and services that offer real perks like a boost in customer traffic and revenues.


Podex ATM


Avatars are banking up Lindens and cashing them out at an increasing rate using e-commerce portals like Podex Exchange. Many already know how to be profitable using this company and are excited about the new visa card . Others are just realizing how the virtual world works with new technology and services. Podex Exchange keeps up with how avatars do business in Second Life and provides the customer service people deserve.

 Podex is a company that understands the needs of the community in both Second Life (SL) and in the physical world (RL). They are an official reseller with all the bells and whistles to show for it. Aside from offering the most competitive exchange rates available in Second Life, Podex has launched its new Visa Debit Card for real world transactions.

I met up with Podex Exchange CEO, Jacek Shuftan to talk more about this new debit card and the response it has had so far.

What brought you to Second Life and how has it impacted you as a person?My friends came to SL and told me it was fun so I tried it. It made me learn to tolerate people I normally wouldn’t and how to be more cooperative with others. Also it taught me about people of different countries and even states.

Lanai's Diary: June 7, 2012- A Zombie Apocolypes in Real Life? Maybe we are safer in Second Life... - Lanai Jarrico


Lanai Jarrico on Zombie Patrol


There is so much madness going on these days, that it makes the things I have to deal with in my day to day life, seem petty and mundane and believe me in the last month, I’ve been dealt a hand of all Jokers in an impossible card game. I’m so glad I can log into Second Life as an escape and do what I love. Write and stay busy. Lately some real world news has been catching my attention. There have been reports of crazy zombie-like cannibals on the loose. Some of these cases sound like they are straight out of a horror flick or a regular Thursday night in Second Life’s role play scene.

SLE Staff Interview- Meet Shon Charisma

You have read their stories on the SL Enquirer. Now it's time to meet the writers behind them.


Please meet Shon Charisma:

Shon Charisma


How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Shon: Funny. Talented. Sincere. Creative. Intriguing.


What brought you to Second Life and how has it impacted you as a person?
Shon: I came to SL for a RL college class a few years ago, and actually, I hated it. LOL I came from the class and left. A few months later, I returned and began to move around the grid and check some things out and decided to stay. The biggest impact, and it's not a really positive one, lol, is that it's made me doubly busy in my overall life. Just like in RL, I have a whole set of friends that require attention and too much work to do. Ha! A positive, however, is that I have had the opportunity to be a part of experiences that I have yet to do in the real world, such as help put together Broadway style plays and performances.

Helping Haven A Place For All Second Life Residents -Pandora Drezelan Reporting...


When I first came to Second Life in December 2009 I landed at Help People Island, where I made many friends including Lily Swindlehurst, it was a great experience and I spent most of my time there learning all that I could about Second Life. I spoke with Lily recently about her experiences in Second Life and the beginning of Helping Haven.
