Hello everyone, I'm Vickie A. Maidstone with a commentary!!! Well actually an introduction of who I am in Second Life. as you may already know I am a SLIreporter for CNN News here in Second Life, and I have several programs already in the works starting with a report of the final statistics from the Relay For Life in SL. That report is going to be brought to you this coming sunday, August the 17th. Also in the works are several projects that I am currently working on dealing with Virtual Worlds and Massively Multi Online Role Playing Games or MMORPGs as we know them by that, this is an exciting area that I have been getting a LOT of experience whether here in Second Life or in my favorite other world, World of Warcraft. I will also be dealing with the issues of emotions that are so prevalent in the virtual setting and have some thoughts to share along those lines.

Also, coming up will be a report from the September 11th Memorial Services to be held inworld as I will not only be reporting from there, but also will be playing bagpipes as well. And a little later on in the fall, something I didn't know that existed, racing in second Life, yes there is virtual racing which really surprised me that you can race anything from gokarts to formula 1 cars right here in SL.

That's it for the moment so stay tuned to CNN's SLIreports and for late breaking developements, log on to cnn.com for all the latest news here at home or around the world.
