During the course of making and decorating items for my shop in the STEAM hunt, I was struck by the story of Princess Ka’iulani of the Kingdom of Hawaii, who was deposed before she ever ruled by American business interests, and who died young after spending many years being educated in England. She was a proper Victorian lady of royal birth, and like the inestimable Isabella Bird, is an inspiration. In fact, she was known as the Peacock Princess, and so I have decided to include peacock feathers in my hunt gift, because God knows we all need a little…

Creativ(ity) is an easy kill. A simple search of creativity killers yields a multitude of would be candidates: television, the Internet, inflexibility, too much flexibility, fear, lack of fear, goals, lack of goals, time pressure, too much time. The list is sizable. via Phasing Grace | Social Architectures and Virtual Worlds: A Penchant for Creativity – Knights and Nobles. Wow! Yes. I am a little behind on a commitment I made to myself and to others to create, create, create. And the killers are all listed above, but chiefly “fear, surprise, terror, and an almost ruthless INefficiency” which causes me…

The Grand Tour returns to Second Life with The “All Aboard Grand Tour†on Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20, 2011. The tour includes 15 different locations with a theme of trains and transportation.The Grand Tour began in 2008 as a positive expression after some unpopular decisions by Linden Lab left many residents discouraged. A few people got together and created the marathon event. The All Aboard Grand Tour is the fifth tour. The creator of the event, Fogwoman Gray, summarizes the purpose, which had become the motto of all grand tours: “To bring all nations and groups together…

Dhughan here, having returned from a trip to a strange, sandy land to consult with an alien entity concerning a technical difficulty. With this help I was able to work out how to use Mme. Kamilah Hauptmann’s open source cane control script so that I could use her charming and clever Gentleman Jim and GJ Cane AO’s with one of my humble walking sticks. I spoke with a being who wore the sigil of a green lantern on her chest (their homeworld is most impressive), who traced the fault in my ivory-handled stick to either an incorrect rotation around its…

Just like this woman here, except that most of my stuff is not rezzed, it’s just sitting in my inventory making me wonder “what the hell is that?” And then a lot more of it is boxed up in an “organizer” which isn’t really that useful, and consists of freebies from various seasonal hunts that are individually nice, but collectively are a nightmare. What to do? The memories! I can’t dump them!

I’ve spent too many hours tinkering with GIMP, trying to find images in Picasa, fooling with the Second Life editor trying to find stuff in my inventory, and struggling to remember all the nifty ideas I had for products… on the other hand, I DID get one new product listed today, and I’ll have another couple ready to go in the next few days. Wow, it was a tough hurdle, but I eventually cleared it. Meanwhile, still working on a better method for organizing inventory. Anyway, here is “The Man In The Kyomoon Lamp.” It’s technically a lamp, but it’s…
