Even though it already has one Second Life island, it seems Microsoft has come up with a new island in the world of Second Life. This new island is apparently devoted to Visual Studio and contains some pretty cool stuff for Second Life players who visit it.

There are a series of hidden logic puzzles on the island, and if you solve them all you'll get an invite into Second Life's top VIP room where the grand prize waits. The event happens today, May 10, at 6 P.M. PST/6 P.M. Second Life time. To get access to the island, just visit the Visual Studio Island registration page at https://www.visualstudioisland.com/registrations.

The Microsoft blimp that's been seen in Second Life looks like it's also part of the whole event. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the video below.

The appearance is similar, but in Second Life you can import and create anything in there. The content is all player made. Such as the blimp featured in this article. Avatars, clothing, buildings. etc are all player made.
