Question: Why to do you have a Japanese middle name?

Answer: I was born in Tachikawa Japan, which is part of Tokyo, because my father was in the US Air Force and stationed there. My folks always wanted to remind me of where I came from. My middle name Emiko has several meanings, but the one I identify with the most is Smiling (Emi) Child (ko). I have always used my cheesewhiz grin as my logo to brand myself because the meaning of my middle name.

A couple weeks ago, I bought myself a keychain that had a little doll with my name, Emi. She is very sweet! www.kimmidoll.com

Second Life Community Convention

I attended the Second Life Community Convention in San Francisco where I taught a workshop on branding (with a quick lesson in Photoshop) and was part of a panel on social networking. It was great to meet all these folks that I have been working with in Second Life and they were surprised to find out how much I look like my avatar Zinnia Zauber. I really enjoyed sharing and learning!
