Heretic Linden in response to my question about equality on the TG in response to the contest on the MG replied they will start one in Dougall! Contact Heretic Linden if you would like to apply!
Let’s have a parallel Teen Grid contest! Dougall will host the sculpted prim display. Rules apply universally, so IM me if you want to participate in the Teen Grid Sculpted Prim Contest.
We have a new writer on the blog, although it is mine, Steven Fermi who is one of my close friends, has been allowed to post news here. Just in case he finds it out before me. Just to let everyone know and give a semi-formal introduction to our new writer.
At 7.06 pm SLT LL posted the following:
"As you can imagine the coordination involved in the release of a feature as big as Voice is complex and we want to make sure to release it with the least possible complications. Our current plan is to release a First Look version of the voice client within the next few weeks. Then, after we’ve gathered good feedback on the First Look release and fixed any remaining bugs, we’ll release Voice as a required viewer. When we do release Voice, we plan to do it right and in a way that incorporates as much of the Beta feedback we’ve received as possible."
Again no word on when…about the First Look, nor the full required version release date. Seems they love to never give full details about anything at all. Anyways, at least we can start using it, even if it is buggy, in our day to day Second Lives. Just to give everyone a heads up on the upcoming viewer!
Inter arts is offering about $160,000 to 3 artists(including a writer, musician/sound artist and digital visual media practitioner) who have a sill in the arts and "necessary artform experience". Again, not for those on the TG, but intresting to know how the media is beginning to get more involved in the world. In fact as I was writing this blog two teachers saud "Your on SL?! So am I." I asked where they found out about it…same response from both.."News."
There is a contest for sculpted prims where you display your prims and they pick 5 entries for the prizes. T-shirts valued at $25…you can’t enter. It is only for the MG and the Lindens have showed no intrest in hosting one on the TG. I am going to be contacting Blue to get info on this subject and post his reply here. The rules for the MG contest are:

Any questions related to the above rules should be directed to Heretic Linden.
Good luck!"
Mitch Wagner has confirmed that LL will not be implicating voice for another month or so. According to the wonderful LL who uses great words: According to LL: "Linden Lab’s plan is to continue to develop additional voice features on the beta grid for a few weeks still." With no official date, but a few residents got a few words out of the Lindens, like Wagner, and were told that it will be another month. The Pro- Probably less bugs than if they had released it now. Con-…we don’t get it now
