Friendly greetings! I'm Torley-favicon.png Torley Linden, and I amplify your awesome.

I started my Second Life as a Resident (affectionately abbreviated as "Resi") in 2004 before working for Linden Lab, and grew very passionate about making our world a better place for you to live.

What I do

I'm the Resident Enlightenment Manager on the Editorial Division of the Experience Design Team.

My job is to teach you how to get the most out of Second Life.

(But wait, there's more...)

  • I've made 300+ Second Life video tutorials & promos which've gotten 6+ million total views. Visit our YouTube channel and subscribe! Here's something awesome Brett Linden and I did:
    <videoflash type="youtube">Slx1RuQQ9h4|640|385</videoflash>
  • It thus becomes clear I nourish content creativity — I've made guides on making movies, taking snapshots, etc. which have helped thousands of Residents (many of which personally told me... thank you!).
  • I contribute a lot to the Official Second Life Blogs, with 250+ posts made. Come see our Tips & Tricks!
  • Related, I make frequent guest appearances on the forums to answer questions and demystify, well, mysteries.
  • You can call me an uber-explorer and avid photographer of inworld beauty. Some of the cool places I visit get added to the Destination Guide.
  • I do various artwork and design for official SL branding stuff, including login screens and Marketplace banner art. It's hard to stay away from neon watermelon colors. I try.
  • Additionally, I specialize in connecting seemingly unrelated pieces together and not just observing, but sharing eclecticism that gets missed! Sharing cool content is a must.
  • These are some of my free textures, also available on the Marketplace:

  • Trivia: I've popularized usage of ways to do things in Second Life, like inventory-sorting and machinima-filming. I've also popularized numerous Second Life terms, including "Resi", "flexiprim", and "facelight". (But not "landbot". :p)
  • Unofficially, I'm the Second Life Culture Minister
  • All pronouns apply to me.
