The return of the Space cowboy (it is only a title actually)
So yes… i’m back. It’s not i was out for a really long time, but my lifes (both, first and second) were pretty busy in so many ways. In first life, well, basically summer holidays, traveling and being out of town and far away from computers for almost a month. I’m sure you all will understand this, sometimes this is something we all need, at least i so need it sometimes.
About Second Life, well, in the last months i was enjoying being part of the Soup Radio project with a really wonderful team of people, sadly this project is finished now, but i’m proud and happy about the work on it. Well, the project is not exactly finished, but we are planning the last show of Soup Radio for October 1st. From here i would like to give a huge hug to all the Soup Radio team, specially Arahan Cleveau, for all the help, support and ideas.
So, since i’m back i would like to say a couple more of things. First, right now i’m building an installation for Burn2 so i will inform more in this blog, about my project and about Burn2 itself. And second… thanks for keep reading my blog! *Raul sings “Welcome back” to himself*

Soup Radio… i’m part of the show!
From this month of April i’m part of the team of Regular Guests & Contributors of Soup Radio, a 24/7 online radio station dedicated to the arts, with a particular focus on Second Life.
About my topic for this month let me paste an extract of the Show Notes for this month:
Raul Crimson interviews artist Elros Tuominen about what Second Life means to him personally and as a creator. Part of the interview, conducted in Spanish, is related to how language in SL can be a barrier, but also an effective way to learn and practice different languages. Elros also comments on how much avatars represent the person behind the keyboard, and at the same time can evolve into independent personalities causing a loss of identity.

I would like to thanks specially Arahan Claveau for his suggestions and technical help with the show and to Elros Tuominen for the interesting conversation.
