For those who don't know about it, a GREAT virtual world exists called "Second Life" where you can design your own avatar and socially interact with other players in different worlds and environments. You can also buy all kinds of clothing, buy land, build things and even start a business. Even at it's free level you have access to most anywhere and can create your own avatar---There is lots of free stuff too. What I have done though, is have one premium account, where I have built a house and a studio---where I make illustrations for graphic Novels and storyboards (out of staged avatars and built sets) and do screen copies with the snipping tool. I also use the premium account to give money to my avatars on my free accounts money to buy clothing, etc. with.
The site is great for CDers and lots of fun
