My Interview with Philip Rosedale
I’ve been wanting to write this post for about two weeks now. I find it funny how I finally got a chance to write it on Virtual Worlds Day.
Lab Gab is a talk show I host on the Second Life YouTube channel, somewhat weekly. I do need to take a week or two off here and there for my own sanity, as it can be a lot of work to produce, especially with everything else on my plate.
About two weeks ago I had the opportunity to interview Philip Rosedale, the founder of Second Life. You can watch the video on youtube at this link:
To say it was one of the most important moments of my life is an understatement. I can’t begin to describe what Second Life means to me. I have been deeply engrossed in this virtual world for over 13 years of my life. It has affected my life in so many ways, more than anyone can imagine. I have learned so much about myself, and have grown and changed as a person because of it. To be able to spend time with the founder and talk to him about it, was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. At the end of the interview when I was thanking him, I had to hold back tears.
This was an experience I definitely wanted to share with my blog readers. So here it is, I hope you give it a watch; if you haven’t already done so.
As for me, I’m doing well. My family, for the most part, is okay. A close family member is in the hospital, please keep them in your prayers. Stay safe out there, it’s a scary world these days. Much love. <3
I am enjoying seeing you back in blog Berry and love’n your interview with Phillip.
Nice to see new blog from you Berry and to hear your are doing OK. Great interview with Philip Rosedale.
Hey Strawberry, seeing this post waiting for me in my feed reader made me smile. 🙂 I watched the recording of your interview with Philip Rosedale last weekend, was fascinating to discover some pre-history of Second Life.
Sorry to hear about your family member being hospitalized. I know it’s tough because of restrictions on visiting due to Covid-19. Sending you big virtual hugs. <3
Great to hear from Philip again. I still has his Willy Wonka quote in my avi profile:
There is no world I know that compare with pure imagination/ Living there you’ll free to be anyone you want to be.
