Over the weekend my good friend Silk Bamboo introduced me to a recent discovery, a bit of Portland, Oregon in Second Life. This is a very nice place in so many ways: the quality of the reproduction of Portland landmarks and ambiance, the abundant good nature of the developers and occupants, and the social worthiness of the entire enterprise. You can read a great article in the online Oregonian here (with a balanced view of SL, as a bonus), and watch a very nice promo machinima on YouTube here.
Silk was offered space to set up shop in this virtual Portland as part of their small business incentive program. She graciously offered me the chance to lend a hand with building her clinic, so I put together a minimalist structure that suited her needs and fit in with the local theme and architecture. 
This is the first thing I’ve built in SL that isn’t for my RL lab or some research project! So now all you stressed out, bothered and uncentered avatars can go to Silk Bamboo Health for your reiki treatments: “energy healing and balancing” by a true professional.
Here Silk is administering the clinic’s inaugural treatment to Ty Magpie, the driving force behind the creation of NW 21st Avenue, Portland Oregon. This sim is a treat, visit!
