Second Life Birthday Begins

 

The Second Life Birthday celebration officially began yesterday. There were some technical difficulties as some, including exhibitors who had been in earlier in the day, found themselves unable to teleport over. But eventually the glitch would be repaired,and the residents could all head over to the SLB grounds.

 

The first of the events was Philip Linden's opening speech at the Orpheum Theater. But relogging after a crash, I couldn't see his area of the stage. I ended up getting a picture through Vic Morningon's youtube. You can also see a replay on the Second Life Youtube.

 

Brett Linden spoke first saying a few words then introducing Philip Linden. Philip gave short speech, complementing the audience on their avatars, saying "one of the coolest things that I think signals change in Second Life is the changing avatars that I see." He would give thanks to the creators, as well as the Lindens and Moles involved in The Birthday. He would also give his thanks to Patch Linden, "who was the one who initially created this event and helped us grow it to where it is today." He gave a few statistics, "nineteen exhibit regions with 240 exhibits built by over 500 exhibitors ... over 480 creators participating in the Ship and Hop ... 600 scheduled music and dance performances held across five different event stages ... and there are about 125 volunteers helping as stage crew and greeters, thank you so much."

"As I look at you and all your avatars, I'm reminded of the early days of Second Life," He would talk about how he and Leviathan Linden first imagined Second Life as an "artificial life garden. We weren't even sure exactly what role people would play in the whole thing. ... We didn't know what avatars would look like. ... But ultimately look at us all here today. This room represents an evolution and an enormous amount of content production and changes that you created in the very nature of Second Life. ... we are very much driven by all our collective work." He would comment that he felt one of the reasons Second Life was still around was because it's residents "collectively exist in a place here that can be shaped by all of us." 

He would also comment that when Second Life first started, the total number of sims was smaller than those dedicated to the Birthday event. He would talk about some of the first areas the Lindens made for the residents such as a kind of "Coney Island" amusement park and a "giant black pyramid disco" called AltZoom, SL's first nightclub. Very quickly, the people got control, demolished the first builds, and created things of their own. Philip would also comment Second Life was like an alternative history, noting the social media was often known for it's nastiness and SL was in some ways what could have been in terms of people on the whole treating each other better. "Thank you for being part of this." 

Philip then went over to a kiosk on stage, the "Golden Ticket," saying people would soon be able to click on five of them around the SLB grounds for a chance at a million Linden dollar prize that they could enter every day (more on this later). He stated he would take no questions today, but would answer some at the Meet the Lindens event next week, his being at Monday at 1PM SL time. "Congratulations everyone, it's wonderful to see you. And I hope to see you around the Birthday celebrations. Thank you."

 

 Following the eight minute speech was a period of quiet, then Merryjest Starchild performed the first of the SLB's music events. 

 

 Sometimes he would sing alone, other times he was joined by dancers. But there was one point in which things hit a snag. There was one tribute to the 80s in which the dancers appeared over the stage on giant cassette tapes, then they just vanished. I would later hear the way the dancers were arranged, one cassette touched the sim border, which then cased them to be "yeeted" halfway across the SLB grounds. Some had a soft landing in the water. Some didn't. The short time that was available for rehearsal didn't reveal this possibility. For those wanting to see the performance again, Merry will be repeating it later this weekend at a favorite venue.

 

And the shows are going on today, this weekend, and next week. Two DJs familiar to the Sunweaver community where the SL Newser office makes it's home will be spinning some tunes. Today at 2PM, DJ Minty, aka DJ MTV, will be performing at The Salty Saloon stage at SLB Smoldering (20/252/23). DJ Scratch will be spinning his style at the same venue on early Wednesday June 24 at 2 AM. Another friend of the Newser, DJ Tantari, will be performing at the Golden Palms at SLB Mesmerize (76/184/25) at 3 PM SL time. 

 

Stay tuned for more about the Second Life Birthday.

Second Life Birthday Starts Today

 

 After weeks of preparation, the Second Life Twenty Third Birthday Celebrations, also known as the SL23B, begins today. There's smaller events such as Meet The Lindens, music concerts, the Yapestry of Time, and of course the exhibits by regular residents, hundreds of them.

 

The main area has forty-one sims, with a separate area for Adult-themed exhibits and one stage for unfiltered music performances, totaling fourteen sims. 

 

Among those with exhibits is the Second Life Newser, in the SLB Beguile sim. Sadly due to real-life, the talented Silvia Ametza whom has done most of our builds and all of them for the past several years was not able to do one this year. So as a backup plan, the office from the SL9B is back, with a few touches. 

https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Beguile/163/93/21

 

The Opening Ceremony, with Philip Linden speaking, will be from 1 to 2 PM at the Orpheum Theater, with three suggested teleport locations:

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Amaze/251/27/28 
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Celebrate/25/24/22 

Following Philip's speech will be several music events, with Merryjest Starchild and dancers performing the first one. 

 

Keep up with the events here lower on the page, or the Linden event calendar. From today to June 28 are music performances. Next week are the Meet the Lindens events. 

 

Be sure to have plenty of fun. For those with older computers, coming by late at night should help with the lower lag.

 

Happy Birthday Second Life

Philip Linden Gives VWBPE Keynote Speech, Takes Questions

 

Yesterday, Thursday March 19 at 12 Noon, The Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education held it's Keynote. The man giving it was someone familiar to every longtime Second Life resident: Philip Linden, aka Philip Rosedale, the founder of Linden Lab, the company behind this virtual world.

 

Today, we have the distinct honor of hearing from a man who actually made gatherings like this one possible. Our keynote speaker is a physicist turned coder turned visionary,  someone who looked at the early internet and saw not just a network, but a world waiting to be built.
 

 He founded Linden Lab and created Second Life, the virtual world that has been home to educators, artists, researchers, and dreamers for over two decades. He has since explored spatial audio, open-source VR platforms, digital currency, and even the frontiers of machine consciousness. And in October 2024, he returned to Second Life as CTO, bringing fresh energy and new ideas to a platform many of us call home.

Someone was saying close to a hundred people were in the area the event took place, an intersection of four sims, Philip on a small cliff overlooking the crowd, "I feel like a king standing on a high rooftop *laughs* I see people I recognize, it's the magical things about Second Life." He thanked the educators for their work in this virtual world. He would talk about AI and how it was impacting society, saying at one point a comparison could be made to the Industrial area when machines did the work of the muscle power of many men, "Now we have gone much father with replicating how our mind works. ... the progress was very quick lately ... we are living in strange times- there are tremendous risks, there are more bad than good impacts at the moment."

After the keynote, Philip took questions, and there was talk about not just AI, but other topics such as Second Life, "It's interesting to reflect on the fact that SL hasn't grown as rapidly as we thought or liked." One subject was about how people often rely on facial expressions, hand movements, and other cues in real life but that was absent in Second Life and other virtual worlds. It was also brought up that being hired to correct an AI could be a roundabout way to do the job of a programmer for a fraction of the cost. Someone also joked it AI had an alignment, it would be "Chaotic Neutral." It was also brought up that there hasn't been a real-life Second Life Community Convention since 2011. Philip Linden did wonder if the possibility of doing another deserved some thinking about. 

 

The conference was broadcast live, and may be available to see later on the VWBPE Youtube channel later.  

 

*Addition*: It's available now.

Press Release: VWBPE 2026 Conference INSIGHTS 19-21 March 2026 in Second Life®

 

 

The 19th annual Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education Conference, beginning on Thursday, March 19th, 2026, will be an online distributed conference happening in multiple virtual spaces. This conference focuses on the use of immersive virtual environments for educational purposes, including virtual and augmented reality. 

This year we are returning to our Earth build. Each region represents a different terrestrial biome, including wetlands, desert, badlands, grasslands, and forests. Conference attendees will be able to explore 3D immersive virtual representations of these biomes.

The conference regions will be open to the public on Sunday, March 15th at 9:00 am SLT (Second Life Time / Pacific Daylight Time).

**VWBPE 2026 GATEWAY** 
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/VWBPE%20Grasslands%20Gateway/128/123/23 

To the best ability possible, VWBPE provides educational and networking opportunities that are relevant to educational curriculum development utilizing virtual environments and “best practices”. These include

helping to build community through extension of learning best practices to practical application of those ideas and techniques;
providing networking opportunities for educators and the communities that help support education; and
providing access to current innovations, trends, ideas, case studies, and other best practices for educators and the communities that help support education

One of the key challenges faced by the educational community is how to make the best use of new immersive technologies in a way that is sustainable and accessible based on limited budgets available to both instructors and students. Platforms that are free or open source, or that can be shared across a broad audience, are showcased, including methods and research around best practices in their use and applicability.

Our theme for this year is Insights.

The 2026 theme, “Insights”, invites us to look deeper—beyond the tools and platforms—toward the lessons, challenges, and opportunities that are redefining education in an age of rapid technological transformation. For more about the theme, see the blog post here: https://www.vwbpe.org/vwbpe-news/welcome-to-vwbpe-2026-insights.

Join us as we all share experiences and successes in how virtual technologies used in the classroom have helped shape education for the better.

This year's keynote speakers are Philip Rosedale, Ryan Schultz, and Mark Childs. Invited speakers include representatives from Linden Lab, and many of the Thinkerer Award winners. 

The VWBPE conference keynote speakers and their respective presentations are featured on the conference website (http://vwbpe.org), along with a program of exciting presentations, social activities, and networking events that will set extraordinary discussions in motion.  

The VWBPE Immersive Experiences showcase unique and interesting work being conducted across the metaverse. We invite you to join us as we explore eleven interactive and engaging locations across five virtual environments. The Immersive Experiences are scheduled from March 14th through April 1st (exclusive of the conference dates). Details and access instructions for the experiences are found at https://www.vwbpe.org/conference/vwbpe26-program.   

Additionally, this open and free conference would not be possible without the generous contributions of our VWBPE sponsors. https://www.vwbpe.org/vwbpe-2026-sponsors.   

The Rockcliffe Registration Portal is open for people to register new Second Life® avatars and find out more about the VWBPE conference in-world. Go to https://www.enroll.onl/secondlife.php . The instructions are there to get you and your friends started at this educator-friendly newcomers’ region in Second Life®.

The full conference program is online here: https://www.vwbpe.org/conference/vwbpe26-program. 

You can also view presentations live on YouTube at http://vwbpe.org/watch. 

All of the conference events will be in Second Life® this year, and the locations are included in the listings. When you click on a conference event and click Add to Calendar, you can add the event to your own calendar (Google and more).

NOTE: Daylight Savings Time
In most of the United States and Canada (and in Second Life), Daylight Savings Time is in effect as of 8 March 2026. In Europe, Great Britain, and many other locations, DST is in effect as of 29 March, 2026, after the conference begins.

EOTB: Philip Linden "Voice Conversation" Wednesday October 1

 

For those wanting to meet Philip Linden (Philip Rosedale in real-life), you'll have a chance on Wednesday October 1 when there will be a "Voice Server Conversation and Load Test" which he will be part of. 

 

We’re excited to invite you to an event with Philip Rosedale on Tuesday, October 1st at 1pm PT at the Linden Estate Services regions. This event will serve as both a community conversation and a technical test.  

 

 

There will be a Questions and Answers sessions in which people are invited to ask about Voice in SL and hear about upcoming features. The event will also double as a test for the new Web RTC servers.  

 

"We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your feedback!"

 

For more information, check the Linden blog (here).  

 

Philip Linden at The SL22B

 

 On Wednesday June 25, Philip Linden, the founder of Linden Lab and considered the creator of Second Life (Philip Rosedale in real life), was at "Meet the Lindens" at the Second Life Birthday's Astral Athenaeum. Besides those listening in on Youtube, there were well over a hundred avatars present in this intersection of four sims (too many to completely rezz as my picture shows).

 

Philip shared the stage with Bret Linden, but did almost all the talking. He would express his joy with Second Life and what people have created here over time. He would also answer a number of questions. When asked about AI, he answered Linden Lab was taking a cautious approach about introducing it, and would bring up an essay he'd written recently, "Ultraviolet Catastrophe," in which he suggested in the near future AI bots could overwhelm the Internet social media to the point people will drastically change how they use it. Other questions included possibly bringing back the original Linden World, what's going on with the browser viewer "Project Zero," helping creators in making their builds, and more. 

 

What would he have changed About Second Life? He stated it wasn't an easy answer, but he felt he would have provided more support to "democracy and groups," talking about making groups more powerful somehow. He would then give a closing message:

 

"Everybody here, all of us, should be proud to have been part of what is now more than twenty years of an experiment in demonstrating that online experiences, something you do online on your computer with other people, can actually bring people together and make them happier and healthier, as opposed to making them lonelier and angrier, which sadly seems to be what we've done with most of our technological product time in the last decade or so....

"And the hope that gives to the world is something we all need right now. The whole world needs to see that you can use technology to bring us together. It is not just a force for evil. And so I think everybody here should be incredibly proud of having been part of that experiment and hopefully continuing to be a part of it indefinitely as we carry on. So thank you." 

 

After the event officially ended, Philip stepped off the stage to chat with the audience who remained, in to a mix of avatars of all kinds, including a goat avatar, "Philip Linden is the G.O.A.T." People had more questions, including someone asking if it was possible for juries to decided the punishments of troublemakers. Philip was intrigued by the idea, but felt if it was ever considered there'd need to be a number of precautions taken. 

 

Eventually, Philip had to leave, and so people went on to other activities. 

 

There would be another "Meet the Lindens" the next day, but a pre-recorded session with Brett and Strawberry Linden. Later today at 1 PM SL time is the final "Meet" for the SL22B, a live session with many of the Moles of the Department of Public Works.

SL Videos: "Second Life AI Town Hall - April 18, 2025"

 

 

Last week on Friday April 18, Linden Lab hosted a Town Hall meeting, the topic being "AI and The Future of Our Virtual Community." There were two videos made, one from Linden Lab, ( Click Here if the video does not play)

 

 

And a second one from PanteraPolnocy,. (Click Here if the video does not play)

 

There were a number of questions and statements sent by residents ahead of time, as well as those brought up by people in the audience. Philip Linden (Philip Rosedale) did his best to answer them.

Town Hall On AI In Second Life Friday

 

On Monday, Linden Lab announced there will be a Town Hall Meeting on Friday April 18. The topic is "AI And The Future of Our Virtual Community." 

 

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly present in both our physical and virtual worlds, the Second Life community is coming together for a Special Town Hall event to explore its evolving role and impact within our shared metaverse.

 

The topics include, "How AI-generated avatars may affect identity and trust in social spaces," "Generative AI and the Second Life creative economy," "Emotional manipulation, consent, and transparency with AI-driven characters," "Use of AI in customer support and other non-in-world services," and "Balancing creative opportunities and responsible use of emerging AI tools"

 

The event, hosted by Philip Linden, starts at 12:30 PM, and takes place on Town Hall Island, three locations listed being Town Hall Island1 (252/5/26), Town Hall Island2 (6/7/26), and Town Hall Island3 (249/252/26). People are invited to submit questions (here). 

AI is a topic that generated controversy in December when the Lab announced, then postponed use of an AI character designer.

"Second Life Community Roundtable with Philip Rosedale"

 

 

 (click here if the video does not play)

 

 Earlier this month, the Community Roundtable with Philip Rosedale took place. While we've been trying to watch the whole video to write a review, real-life keeps tapping us on the shoulder, and there's the daily updates. So for now, here is the video, without a review.

 

Philip Linden Speaks About Trump Victory

 

There's been more than a little chatter about the results of Tuesday's Presidential Election in the US, of which former President Trump won. Besides being the first President to serve two separate administrations, he's also the first Republican non-incumbent to win the popular vote since 1988. While every election has brought cheers from the supporters of the winners, and some sadness from those who didn't win, Trump's victory has had many Democrats not just worrying, but in outright despair. 

Among those concerned is Philip Rosedale, who would write a commentary suggesting that Trump's election wasn't the real problem, but a symptom of a much larger one: economic inequality is leading people to make more desperate choices at the voting booth. 

... poorer people at some point no longer believe that wealth will ‘trickle down’ fairly from the richer people, and they become more and more distrusting of each other until eventually they are only willing to back candidates who claim they will somehow restore their seat at the economic table and level the playing field. That is where we are right now - we’ve elected a president, for a second time, who has campaigned on the promise that he will restore economic equality.

Rosedale commented that a Harris administration would have been a "'rip the bandaid off' moment," involving much civil unrest and probably some violence, but there would at least be "some reductions in inequality." With Trump in power, he feels while there will be gains, they will be temporary and only going to the wealthiest Americans, "with overall inequality increasing further until some new breaking point is reached."

One can read Philip's commentary in full (here).

On a final note, one should take care when discussing politics, especially when trying to have a reasonable discussion with someone with a different viewpoint. If you say you've been trying to see why a relative with extreme views thinks that way, if they hear it wrong they may think you agree with those views.

Reminder: Community Roundtable With Philip Linden Today, 10AM

 

Just a reminder for those who didn't see Linden Lab's announcement a few days ago. This morning at 10 AM, Philip Linden will be hosting a Community Roundtable event at 10 AM today.

 

The event will be held at Linden Estate Services3 (26/26/29).
