Lahar Broadway
Second Life
In-world, I am best known for my line of clocks and wristwatches, however I also make and sell various models of helicopters, pianos, and a variety of developer oriented gadgetry. I have been heavily involved in scripting since my entry into SL, in October 2006.
Real Life
In real life, I am a 54 year old PhD, originally from the U.S. but residing now (most of each year) on an island in the northern part of the Philippine Islands. I have been designing and programming embedded systems for 30+ years, and continue to contract worldwide for a few months each year. I am very happily married, with 7 children ranging in age from 31 down to 18 months.
Why "Lahar"?
In June of 1991, [1] located on the Philippine Island of Luzon erupted. At the same time, Typhoon Yunya struck the island, massive rains mixing with the 34km tall plumes of ash to create pyroclastic flows that flowed as far as 16km away. This pyroclastic flow material is known as "lahar".
