Doubledown Tandino Updated Bio/Services/Resume - August 2007

Hello Friends,
As some of you know, I decided to leave my RL job, & by July I will be in Second Life full time. And.....As you all know, I love creative events and I always jump at the chance to do something collaborative and cool. I am always interested in creating possibilities. So I wanted to put myself out there to you, before the SL masses. I wanted to send this notecard to you in case you knew some of what I do, but not everything. Please keep me in mind for any upcoming projects you may be working on.
Thank you
Doubledown
