Second Life Avatar

Here's a picture of my avatar, Bean Renilo, in a large store on second life. Please, hold your laughter. I realize my virtual appearance definitely needs some work, and the graphics aren't exactly brilliant. The hair is a little white, and my pants (which I purposefully left out - sorry) are a bit too urban club scene for me. With some more work, I hope Bean Renilo will look as much like me as possible. Now, I realize that much of second life is about escapism, and well, a second life. However, that avatar is a representation of me, and my personal brand. Bean Renilo may be a virtual character, but I see him as a reflection of myself. I do not see my lack of differing features a lack of creativity. Instead, it is how I want to appear, it is how I envision myself in any environment, no matter what world or format I happen to inhabit. I am hoping to incorporate this theme into my banner in second life, and hopefully, in one way or another, into the value I add to our virtual business.

Speaking of virtual business, our product brainstorming has begun - more on that soon!
Sorry for the quick piece, but I've got to run to Home Depot to pick up a T6 bit to repair my shot keyboard. Hopefully if all goes well, my baby will be running smoothly again, and I'll have a proper amount of time to give to my online pursuits!
