"Nobody Pokes Anymore", He Said

My bosom buddy Apmel Goosson, a.k.a. +Lennart Nilsson commented on my post Facebook Error, see exhibit 1 below.

Exhibit 1

So as the good man I am, I did not wish to leave him un-poked for a second longer than necessary and rushed onto Facebook to give him a good poke, lo and behold this is the response I got from Facebook, see exhibit 2 below.

Exhibit 2

Apmelito, the reason "nobody pokes (you) anymore" is evident, you do not return the pleasure and by doing so cannot receive anymore delicious pokes!

Mark the day in your calendar, February 14, 2013. it´s the day of the 24 hour danceathon in SecondLife for One Billion Rising.

For more information on this significant event and the movement, please read my previous post One Billion Rising in SecondLife.

Men´s violence against women is a societal problem. It is not solely a cause for women, but is equally important for men who want an inclusive society where we are all included on equal terms.

Something Old, Something New...

Before I go back to my playing with myself and test if Bock may finally be over the problems we have had lately I would like to take a moment to honor two SecondLife blogs and their bloggers.

The first one is the oldest Swedish SecondLife blog, My Avatar´s Name Is Apmel, which is owned and operated by my bosom buddy Apmel Goosson & alts (in his first life also known as +Lennart Nilsson)..

Today the blog celebrates it´s sixth blogoversary and having reached 5,000 posts. The number of pageviews should be close to 700,000 by now as the blog reached the 600,000 mark on March 26, 2011.

My Avatar´s Name Is Apmel has previously been honored by The Bock McMillan Art Foundation´s (a part of the BMcM Corporation) lifetime achievement award on March 26, 2011, read why here SecondLife Culture Blog Honored.

I for one am looking forward to following Apmel and alts on their adventures in SecondLife the next six years also, It is - and will remain - an obligation for every SecondLife blogger to read what Apmel has to say about our life and times.

On the other end of the scale I also wish to congratulate my friend Benja Aquila, who started blogging just recently, on hos blog Benja Aquila´s Second Life. The blog passed it´s first 5,000 pageviews yesterday!

Congratulations to both the blog and the blogger, I am so looking forward to still be a faithful follower when you pass 500,000 pageviews!

What I Am Missing On Facebook

My sweet bosom buddy Apmel Goosson (aka +Lennart Nilsson) sent me this picture to rub in what wonderful fun I am missing by no longer being on Facebook. Isn't he a peach? 

McMillans Root For Goosson/Nilsson

It was today brought to the McMillan households attention that the lairds bosom-buddy Mr. Apmel Goosson yesterday announced on his blog that his primatar Mr. Lennart Nilsson was going to take part in the MachinimUWA III: Journeys competition and that all his winnings from that contest would be donated to The Bock McMillan Art Foundation (a part of the BMcM Corporation).

When the news reached the household Wild Zepp, spokesman for the McMillan household, made the following statement:
"The much honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and chairman of the art foundation, graciously accepts Mr Goossons generous contribution to the foundation and wishes him the best of luck in the competition.

It is an honor for the foundation to receive this benign attention from such a renowned benefactor of art and culture in SecondLife."

SecondLife Culture Blog Honored - Updated

Original header

Updated header

In a communique issued this morning by The Bock McMillan Art Foundation (a part of the BMcM Corporation) it has been announced that the foundation has decided to honor the blog "Min avatar heter Apmel" ("My avatars name is Apmel") with "a lifetime achievement award for it´s dedicated work to spread information and knowledge about art, culture and philosophy in SecondLife to the culturally challenged residents of both the virtual and real worlds." 

The chairman of the foundation, The Much Honored Bock McMillan, Laird of Southern Charm, in an exclusive interview said: "It is true that Mr Lennart Nilsson, the primatar behind the hosts of Apmels swarming all over the virtual worlds of SecondLife, InWorldz etc. etc., is a dear friend to me and my sister Millimina, but that has nothing to do with this decision. The foundation simply wishes to recognize the blog for it´s worthwhile and dedicated work. He may sometimes be an enfant terrible but he always stays true to his character and his elected mission." 

UPDATED with the new blog header! Did I tell you Apmel is sweet?

Happy Birthday Apmels!

Today is the birthday of Lennart Nilsson, the real man behind the avatars Apmel Goosson, Uncle Ib. Apmelina, Robotina and last (as far as I know) - but in no way least - the-soon-to-be-sexy-just give-him-a-few-more- years Apmel Meerson also lovingly known as "Kludden" to his fans.

Collectively this gang of avatars are called the Apmels of Solace Island, well by me atleast.

Apmel has the longest standing Swedish blog about SecondLife, Min avatar heter Apmel (My avatars name is Apmel). It is a rich source of the more artistic, cultural and intellectual aspects of this world we all love so much.

Best wishes on your birthday Lennart and may you have many more to follow!
