On Sunday January 17, the Relay for Life in Second Life celebrated it's recently having passed the four million US dollar mark of it's total fundraising throughout it's history. The party lasted from 10 AM to 1 PM, and took place on the border of the American Cancer Society sim, and the temporary Christmas Expo sim. The ACS sim had been recently decorated, with pictures marking each year of the Relay's history in Second Life.
Members of the Relay also thanked the Second Life Newser for it's coverage over the years, considering being named its "Volunteers of the Decade" a badge of honor.
The Relay season in Second Life officially starts with it's kickoff on Saturday February 20. Soon after is the start of the Home and Garden Expo, which lasts from Saturday February 27 to Sunday March 21.

On Tuesday January 19 at 2PM, Selina Greene had a book reading at Book Island, reading an excerpt from the dystopian classic "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. In the novel, "firemen" do not put out fires but are tasks with burning books as the government has outlawed them. The main character is a fireman who comes to question what he has been doing.

Although Linden Lab completed the move of it's data from old servers to The Cloud a few weeks ago, the job isn't quite finished. A few days ago in the official blog, Strawberry Linden stated that the way the Second Life Destination Guide is updated developed bugs and glitches in the move that are still being worked on. There will be no new updates "for the foreseeable future."
On December 22nd I announced that the Second Life Destination Guide was being uplifted to the cloud. That process is still underway, however, we have run into some errors. For this reason, the web publishing tool that allows us to update the Destination Guide is still unavailable and will be for the foreseeable future until these errors can be corrected. I am hoping it won’t be much longer than another week or two. I will continue to update you on this status every Friday.
The submission form for the Destination Guide is also giving errors because of this, so please continue to email your submissions to editor@lindenlab.com and we will add them as soon as we have access again.

It's Inauguration Day in the United States, when the outgoing President steps down from power and the new one is sworn into office. In London City, I found a display for the incoming President Joe Biden, at London City (75/226/23). Next to it, there was another display poking fun at the soon to be former President Donald Trump, showing him in a missile launcher with his now former lawyer Giuliani hiding in some bushes. But some little touches here and there suggest not all the poking is at Trump and his men.
There will be events that day in the sim for the Inauguration, and earlier in the day for the former President's departure. Someone in the sim told me the first events will be at 8AM, but this is unconfirmed.

Winter Burn 2021: Bubble Gum and Duct Tape
With Winter
Burn, we welcome 2021 buoyed by a measure of hope and optimism, perhaps
with a touch of caution. The Ten Principles serve as our framework for
how we want to live and do things together. We chose a theme: Bubble Gum and Duct Tape.
When you ponder this theme, think about
what makes things stick together, if it helps. Love, support, respect,
chain, a guy rope, tie,wire, clasp, screws, nails, bandage, cord,
harness ... and of course, Bubble Gum and Duct Tape. Basically, think
outside of the box, beyond bubble gum & duct tape.
Life
has begun to stir on the virtual playa. Trucks are hauling in the prims
needed for infrastructure and various builds. Interesting creations are
sprouting up out of the frosty dust. Performers are booking their slots
for the stages. Preparations are well underway!
The event opens
on the 29th of January at 5:00 PM SLT, when the Lamplighters will arrive
with their usual fiery enthusiasm for a walk-on. Everyone is welcome to
walk along on a tour of the art installations and camps until finally
arriving at the Main Stage. Lamplighters love to let loose a little fire
to properly start things off, and start they do with music and much
dancing!
Burn With Us!
The moment you step onto the dusty playa, you will not be a mere spectator; you become part of the spectacle. Welcome Home!
SHARE the News and Plan to Come!
We
look forward to welcoming Home Burners and the community. Experience
Burn2 once again. Enter the playa through the Gate, and if you are a
virgin Burner, ring the bell! Walk-on with the Lamplighters; visit the
Rangers, see the effigy that shall be burned. Wander, explore, climb,
interact. Visit the stages, where DJs and musicians bring music to
soothe, inspire, excite and incite to dance. You will be surrounded by
art, music, fire and welcoming Burners! See the (continuously updated)
BURN2 Calendar at https://www.burn2.org/event-calendar/ for the event’s
schedule.
Quite a bit happened this weekend. The Relay for Life in SL had their party to celebrate having reached the four million USD mark in their history (during which they thanked the Newser for their coverage over time). Also, the Museum of Contemporary Art in the C.D.S. held an event to celebrate a new exhibit of pictures. The Aether Salon in New Babbage had their monthly discussion, the topic being Dieselpunk.
Stay tuned for more info later.
