The King and I...

Rumours that Philip Linden is stepping down from the role of CEO in order to adopt a more community-focused, strategic evangelist role are entirely false.

He's actually packed in the day-job in order to join my new all-male dance revue troupe.

FACT!

The village people have nothing on us.

As an encore, we dress as robots and bust a move to old-skool electro....

(that's me in the Dalek)

Daleks set their OWN dance style. Word!

Our first club tour is in the planning stages now. Book early to avoid disappointment. And be sure to bring lots of dollar bills / intimate under-garments / priority JIRA requests to throw at the performers. You know you want to.

In all seriousness, these pics are actually from a small party that I stumbled into a couple of years ago. It's the only time I've ever met Philip Linden socially ... and I have to say, he struck me as one of the most personable and witty people I've ever had the good fortune to goof around with in SL. Really nice guy.

My gut feeling over the change in corporate leadership at LL is a good one. I sense that Philip is going to be much happier in his new role and ... who knows ... maybe a new CEO at the rudder could bring positive changes. Stranger things have happened.

Best of luck in your new job, Phil :)

Great 'stalking material' Shep! How does it feel to be able to name drop like this? *giggles* I'm not sure that many people can say they have actually danced with Phil!

I can totally agree with you about the prospect of a new head honcho. Feels good to me, hopefully the new guy/gal will come in with a clean sweep and action some old issues that have taken the backseat for a while. I think Phil has done a fantastic job to date... he gave us 'our world' for starters! But when paperwork and external pressures take your time from what you enjoy... passion starts to fade.

So I second the message to Phil.... Good Luck :)
