Ok, ZappoWappy Ball isn't my real name. I'm a software developer; I love being creative; I like to socialize. I'm somewhat of a loner... but in a good way! I don't like being a tribble in someone else's organization. (Mental note to self: Isn't being a part of SecondLife® indicative of tribbledom? Uh oh! Call me a hyprocrite) (I like parenthetical statements) (so how are you? We never talk any more)
Why the name Zappowappy? I coined it back in the late '80s when after watching a Marx Brothers movie and seeing Zeppo Marx in the credits. I meshed it with the mood I was in at the time (happy) and "Zappowappy" was uttered for the very first time. I've used it for my call name in a variety of dial-up BBS's (I've just dated myself with that remark) long before the Internet or World Wide Web was ever in anyone's vocabulary.
I'm not a competitive person by any means. So if you challenge me, I'll just walk away.
I've oil painted since I was 7 years old (My 2nd grade teacher Miss Goldblatt "discovered" me), although not as much in the past decade or two due to these new fangled things called "computers" and the "Internet". Shame on me, as I'm often told! But I find other ways to stay very much occupied -- software development by day (and night), and graphical artsy stuff (including web development) whenever I get the urge. I squeeze sleep time in only when absolutely necessary.
Regarding SecondLife®, I'm going to ride the wave and follow the trends. I miss my little casino.
I'm in-world way too much (aren't we all?). If you want to meet your's truly, just stop by my gadgets and club equipment store or my personal favorite: Mystic Hill Swing located in Blacktail Ridge.
You can see a bunch of my oil paintings in our little art gallery and game room, which by the way is the location of my First Land (remember those gems?). I'm way too sentimental to let that go!
You might also catch me hanging out with a bunch of creative scripters and 3D designers at THI Heavy Industries next door... they're the best vintage aircraft and car manufacturers in SL and we're proud to be their neighbors.
