My first blog

So here is my first blog article - ever.

And like writing my first short blog article, I actually plan to also perform another action for the first time in my life. I will make my first tweet ever. I have used Twitter daily for information purposes for quite a while, but never made a single tweet. Yet I have 15 followers, strangely enough.

I'm an avatar who live in the virtual worlds, and currently spend most of my virtual time in the InWorldz grid.

The idea to make my own blog hit me just yesterday. For years I have read several blogs related to virtual worlds, daily. I don't have any clear idea about where I want to go with my blog, and I have a feeling the lack of vision maybe isn't the best start. Will it live?

Everything I'll write, I'll write for my own sake. If just one single other person should find an article I write worthy to kill their time, I will be satisfied. But I don't count on it, and will write solely because I want to write. (Hello air, how is it breathing today?)

The topics will probably mostly be related to virtual worlds, with my own touch on it. There is a danger of too much navel contemplation of course, but that is the way it is.

My experience in virtual worlds started four and a half years ago, when I registered my first avatar in Second Life in february 2007. Before that however, I had played a game called A Tale In The Desert, which also was a kind of a virtual world. From several (and I mean lots of different) reasons, I quit using SL during 2009. After about a year mainly in OSGrid, where I managed to run my own region from my home laptop, I decided to make InWorldz my main virtual home last summer. My membership in InWorldz is from March 2009, which is even before InWorldz' official startup (1st April, 2009). But during the first year, I only occasionally visited InWorldz.

Beside InWorldz, Second Life and OSGrid, I have visited several other grids. I can mention OpenLife (my first other grid outside SL), 3rd Rock Grid, Reaction Grid, Blue Mars, New World Grid and Legend City Online (registered, but never logged in), in addition to other places like Frenzoo, Lively and First Meta.

I havn't played much with the design of my blog yet. It will change.
