Got back January 5. Got to work right away on finishing a project my company was involved since May 2008--the RMB City Virtual City Project.

A snapshot of the city when it was about 80% complete last September...


The grand opening was last Saturday, January 10, 2009. Poster of the event here:

Basically, A Beijing Gallery called Vitamin Creative Spaces and Chinese artist Cao Fei (who's one of the Gallery's resident artists), hired our company, Avatrian, to build this virtual city inside Second Life, from July 2008 to January 2009. After 6 months of non-stop work, the city was opened last saturday. Read the Wikipedia entry on the reasons why this city was created/established inside the metaverse.
