If you've already retreated from your first life (or are considering it) to join the ranks of the growing Second Life community and are concerned you'll miss great .NET events, fear not. The Second Life .NET User Group has got you covered. That's right. There is a sizable (and growing) community of .NET developers in Second Life that meet regularly for digital socialization and to listen to great .NET speakers. The group meets every other Saturday at 12:00 PM SLT on Microsoft's Visual Studio Island (that's Second Life Time - synced with Pacific Time for the uninitiated).
This coming Saturday, January 26th, I have the privilege of joining the group to deliver a talk on Silverlight. My talk will be broad, covering everything from Silverlight's roots to how to build a basic Silverlight application in VS 2008 to how you'll be able to use UI components to enhance your Silverlight development. So if you're at all interested in Silverlight, mark your calendars and set your Saturday alarms for this unique presentation. An on demand version should be available shortly after the event for those of you that can't join us in world for the live meeting. See you there!
P.S. My in world identity is Bluelaser Hax. Look for the guy with the Telerik t-shirt on.

So... is "Bluelaser Hax" a h*r reference?
It is indeed. I used to watch h*r every week, but it's been a long time now since I've kept up with the emails. Still, I adopted the Bluelaser online name many years ago and use it for a lot of my online identities (xbox live: Bluelaser05, for example). They're fun references to use! :)
