On Saturday I had a divorce party over at Edloe. Now I thought i figured out what was going to happen that night. I was however a little wrong in that thought. Hope and Keeme presented this video…
After the video played, Keeme brought out “SLPN Jr.”. I am still not sure what to make of it but, it was funny and all that stuff. Go watch the video and the latest episode of RezzedNecks if you haven’t already.
Currently…
I am Stuart Warf. An avatar who was born on the 2nd of May 2006 in Second Life. My avatar is an evil timelord who’s TARDIS was left stranded in this world remaining in the current timeline until I can escape this virtual world (In case you don’t know, Heres a Doctor Who Wikipedia Page). My hobbies include Physical Prim tricks, building and podcasting. I currently live at Podcast Island where the SLPN Studios lie.
A Brief History of Stuart Warf
I originally joined Second Life in 2006 when alot of the podcasting community discovered Second Life and thought that it had amazing potential, which they were correct but failed to see it and left when the eighties has-been left. During 2006 I, along with Gomem Desoto, formed a group called The Podmafia (the actual group name is The Pod Mafia), which later in August - September had 5 episodes of a podcast called The Podmafia Podcast, which originally was aimed at going around places in Second Life and teaching the masses about podcasting.
Then came 2007. In the early beginning I was partnered but that soon ended. So became my life of living. For a month I resided in SoHo, but for some reason I just didn’t like renting there. So I left but still hung out to see the crazy and wacky stuff going on there. It was around this time when I temporarily brought back The Podmafia Podcast for 3 episodes. Then came Life, Living in Nowhereville. From around March until August I rented land under Madison Carnot while hosting the Take it or Leave it at Nowhereville. This however stopped for me when Take it or Leave it ended. But that was short lived when Crap Mariner injected new life into Nowhereville shortly after the Second Life Woodstock event that took place in the Five Islands. During August Podmafia Podcast came back after troubled times and stayed strong with Yxes Delacroix as host. I re-rented at Nowhereville under Crap Mariner and continued to live there.
So in comes 2008, When I launched SLPN, a network dedicated to podcasts for the metaverse. During the year I continued to work on SLPN by bringing in new shows and new challenges such as live podcasting in Second Life. Up until July 2008 I had continued to live at Nowhereville. However after some thinking and a polite request I decided to leave Nowhereville and move to Podcast Island…
That’s the story so far…
Last Updated on the 18th of July 2008
So, a while ago a company called Vollee announced that they were working on a mobile version of Second Life that works over 3G. Now I would try it out but my phone (the Skypephone on the ‘3′ network) is likely not up to the job for it.
But I hear that they are working on a version for the iPhone. Now, my assumption is that if it will work for the iPhone…then it will work for the iPod touch. I would pay for that app for sure because I would love to just log onto Second Life on my iPod.
We will most likely talk about it for the 50th episode of Podmafia.
Hey Guys
I am currently in the process of uploading Podmafia Podcast Episode 49 and I have just started to think…
WHAT THE HELL ARE WE ACTUALLY GONNA DO FOR EPISODE 50?
So… I decided to throw something up on the blog and see if anything comes of it…
Here are a couple of ideas for shows we could do…
I am quite drawn to the whole Top 5 moments…but what exactly are the top 5 moments of the podcast.
I haven’t really posted up my thoughts on the whole trademark issue with the whole inSL™ thing. Sure I have podcasted about it (Podmafia Podcast Episode 41 with Crap Mariner) but that was before the clarification was released on April Fools Day (good timing LL).
So, I personally haven’t changed a thing to the StuartWarf.com blog as of yet even though a clarification was released because I am lazy and quite frankly annoyed since I have to go through 300ish posts to check.
As for SLPN (SL Podcast Network) We have changed a few things around like the Second Life Newscast will be changed to MetaNews Weekly (some other cool stuff about that will be happening real soon. I just need to finish some things off) and have submitted the site for the inSL™ on Tuesday. So far they haven’t sent me an email back saying “We don’t like some of the stuff you have, can you change it please etc.)
Personally I don’t think the lindens will sue the bloggers and podcasters because we are probably their biggest promoters. But business that clearly infringe on the Second Life virtual world will need to either change what they are doing quickly or probably face a Cease and Desist letter.
I think the bloggers need to stop worrying because I really doubt they are a threat to the trademarks and all that legal jazz that Linden Research® owns.
After spending most of today waiting for pure pwnage episode 16 to rez itself onto the Internet and then finally getting to watch it. I logged myself into Nowhereville and then flew my ass over to BlaksleeWorld for some moozic by Rich Desoto. He claimed he was working on his album all day…I am excited about getting that new album fyi.
PS. RICH DESOTO can you please perform “I’m in love with Video Utterz” next time I am at one of your shows
When I joined Second Life in May 2006, a large factor of my life revolved around the podcasting community. Along my journey in Second Life, I have had the pleasure of doing many podcasts. Alot of them went podfade (that means the podcast just shut down and died). Others continue to live on….for now. This page will document every podcast I have done with a brief description of those shows.
Current Podcasts
The Podmafia Podcast
The Podmafia Podcast is a weekly audio adventure with myself, Gomem Desoto and Yxes Delacroix. With varying topics such at the latest stuff coming to Second Life, shopping and many many other topics. Each week I record a show with these awesome co-hosts is amazing and makes me feel all happy and stuff.
Building with Warf
This is the first ever video podcast that I have ever done! Building with Warf takes a unusual change to the way I do podcasts. I am for once teaching people something. In this podcast I teach people how to build in Second Life so that hopefully they can avoid the mishaps that many builds can be produced in Second Life and maybe, one day, people can start making a living in Second Life from skills they have learnt from me.
Podfaded Podcast History
The Weekly Warf Show
A short lived attempt at a podcast about my virtual life. I quickly figured out that The Weekly Warf show would not work because who wants to know about some guy’s life. One thing that I have learnt about Second Life podcasts is that most of them are hard to do without a gang to do the show like Podmafia or Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara.
Psichonico’s Daily Podcast
This podcast was supposedly daily but it was more of a twice a week thing. A lot of it was a sort of secret parody of Daily Source Code (and eventually The Gomem Show). Most music-casters listen to the music and choose something good. I mostly would choose something randomly and very rarely would stop the madness. It was a bit like The Weekly Warf show where I quickly lost the will to do it but Gomem and his “podfade” comments somehow spurred me to do about 30 more episodes than I wanted to.
It had a very stubborn death…
Inside the Boxes
This is the first ever podcast that I ever decided to do. It started up in March 2006 when I first got a microphone and wanted to do a podcast. The show was based on the TV game show Deal or no Deal. Sadly the community I was creating it to had no clue about what podcasting is or was. So such a podcast was bound to tank.
The Ten Cast
The Ten Cast was a weekly technology news podcast in which I discuss the latest techology news in the world. Since I am a big geek I love technology and all the stuff that it creates. You can still listen to the show at PodcasterNews.com if you want to listen to the show.
No Longer Contributing To
MetaNews Weekly
In it’s short history MetaNews Weekly is a podcast revolved around the news of the metaverse. Originally hosted by myself and Gomem Desoto. After 3 episodes we decided to hand over the keys to Mal Burns and Tara Yeats. The show is currently on Hiatus until my machine returns and will then return in a Live Streaming format
Appearances
Night Guy Episode 45
Guy David, host of the Night Guy podcast, invited me on to his show for the first of three episodes called “The Podmafia Chronicles”. We talked about some of the stuff that I was doing and also was the final podcast that I used a headset on since it pretty much died in the recording.
SL Under the Radar Episode 24
In this episode of SL Under the Radar, Radar invited me to talk about SLPN. I decided to do reverse psychology on the listeners to trick them in to thinking why the network was bad and make them visit in order to wonder why it was so bad…
I think it worked…
SL Under the Radar Episode 33
It was a week of change for me, I was working on moving SLPN to a new server and moving SLPN’s HQ from Nowhereville to Podcast Island and stuff. In the week I was asked by Radar if I wanted to be in a short interview and I accepted. I gave views on the SL podcasting scene but mostly the story of my Second Life.
The Black Tie Martini Club - A Cleveland Yankee in King Razzaps Court Over The Rainbow
In this episode of The Black Tie Martini Club Oddcast Caleb invited me to play a few roles. OK so i butchered it all up and could have done better but…I tried to make myself sound clear…and I think I was ill at the time…It was December after all…
Crap Mariner’s marathon of many many chats…
For some reason, Crap Mariner/Laurence Simon invited many people to chill and have a chat with him in the time limit of 15 minutes. I was first up in the episode and pretty much everyone was better than me but ah well. I advise you go listen to it if you want to have 5 hours of torture. It has an important message at the end i thought…
iPodjacker Episode Seven - Stuart Warf
Crap Mariner launched a new podcast called iPodjacker. It was launched when SL5B came around and he wanted a chance to talk to podcasters who have been involved with Second Life. I was glad to participate in this podcast. The series also features interviews with people like Wiz Nordberg, Rich Desoto and other great SL talents.
Each week I get together with my friends Gomem Desoto and Yxes Delacroix and we just spend about 1 hour talking about the crazy virtual world that we all live in, Second Life.
However…I’m starting to want to give the Podmafia fans more than just 1 show a week. In December we did a Live talkshoe episode of The Podmafia Podcast. I would like to do more live episodes and so I am thinking of bringing a fortnightly podcast called Podmafia Live! which wouldn’t necessarily include Gomem and Yxes on each show (since they aren’t alway’s available) but feature people who listen to the show.
Is this a good idea? bad idea?
Also I am working on another video podcast…which would be monthly called PodmafiaTV which would just be a little video highlight reel where all the places that we have mentioned…or some of them just get shown around visually.
Again… Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
… I am now expecting Sougent to write an essay on this LOL.

I’m trying out the Viddler service after hearing about it on the latest episode of net@night.
Last Saturday I attended a Metaverse Security Seminar that was held by the Justice League in Second Life. I was alerted of this event by an email from a fan of The Podmafia Podcast (and the email specifically asked me not to grief the event lol). The first 40 minutes was spent on introducing themselves and it then seperated in to three parts. A newbie course, A estate management security course and something else (remind me to blog after the events…not days).
I think this is the newbie course…
With all these superhero’s hanging around, it makes you wonder if SuperWarf will come on in flying to save the day! (SuperWarf has not been since the Edlantis incident)
The Introduction
I think we’ll be speaking more in depth about this event when we record the next episode of The Podmafia Podcast on Sunday.
