Twestival in Second Life

Twestival_in_second_life_21209

Many are aware of the Testival taking place today - see this NYTimes article if you are not aware: http://tinyurl.com/ahtu7n

From the article: "On Feb. 12, more than 200 cities worldwide will hold events to foster networking within local Twitter communities as well as raise funds for charity: water, a nonprofit that installs wells and rainwater harvesting systems in developing countries." 

What many do not know is that a Twestival will also take place in the virtual world of Second Life.

For those with Second Life (http://secondlife.com) accounts (free), below is the SLurl to the free event beginning at 4:30 today:

Tree I don't want to fall on me

I was walking over to Dragonfly Coffee House in NW Portland a little over an hour ago. The sidewalks and some streets still had slushy ice on them and downed tree branches everywhere after last night's storm. I walked quickly under and past this tree because it would take out an awful lot if it ever fell. I think it may be Portland's largest tree in the city. There's a plaque by it but I didn't want to stop long enough to read it.
