    @ireallyhatetea perhaps @RepJoeWalsh senses he'll need a paid gig if he can't win reelection in his new district, IL-14 # @MissMoodybear Utlikilts… yes please! # With enforced down time due to virus on Friday, thought a lot about my shop/home build in #SecondLife # Inspiration for new shop design in #SteelheadSL St Helens: the Denny Regrade in Seattle. http://rogue-publishing.com/McAllaster.html # @Thom_Hartmann Could you fact-check my Congressman @RepJoeWalsh ?

    Steelhead St Helens Aurora

    I’m throwing in my lot with the Steelhead community – I dumped about half of my mainland holdings in Tintafel and will gradually start living full time in St Helens after TotalLunar Eclipse finishes his big terraforming project. Finally started work on the big new “Mercantile” shop, on the parcel next door. The original Dry Goods shop will gradually become a “New Curiousities Shop” and have more Northwest Coastal Indian things displayed. Also, I’ll move ahead with the original plan and turn it into a traditional salmon-fishing plot. Planning on monthly Artdances in the new space too – the roof…

    Studebaker has arrived! And He Shall Have His Own Bed!

    It’s ridiculous of me to be so chuffed about the birth of “yet another rather ordinary kitten,” but this one has some traits that I find endearing: IM: KittyCatS Box – New Born Kitten: ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ New Born Kitten Fur: American Shorthair – Red Tabby Eyes: Genesis Meadow (Shape: Curious | Pupil: Big) Shade: Natural Tail: Genesis Ears: Genesis Version: 1.07 Owner: Dhughan Froobert 〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓 MOM: Minnie Happy Birthday – SL8B Fur: Genesis – Smokey Eyes: Genesis Meadow (Shape: Curious | Pupil: Big) Shade: Natural Tail: Genesis Ears: Genesis DAD: Dash Happy Birthday – SL8B Fur: Genesis – Domino Eyes: Genesis…

    @TunaOddfellow Glad to see you're tweeting # @TunaOddfellow Shall think colorfully patterned thoughts for you both, then. # @hbahimself Attaburro! Keep at it, I sorted thousands of RL photos by trip or event after an upgrade, tedious but worth it. # @TunaOddfellow Art is life, thanks for the reminder. http://moby.to/2hhtor # Happy chance: the Artisan app for iPad is on sale for 99¢ (a fun paint/sketch tool) # @m_ethaniel Looks like FUN! I did a tiny bit of that years ago in the distant duchy of Madrone. # News Corp "Criminal Enterprise?" I think Paul Krugman got it in one.…

    Oh, For The Love Of Primkin And His Momma (and Poppa)

    As a new virtual kitty uncle, I’m sure that these stats are dreadfully ordinary to most KittyCatS breeders, but it IS a milestone; the first kitten born to my Minnie. I shall name it Primkin, as it’s the first, it’s made of prims, it’s small, and it’s kin (the gender isn’t known until the box is unpacked, or “birthed”). The proud parents are snoozing in the background. I thought something might happen yesterday when Dash reached “100% Love,” while Minnie had reached the middle 90’s. She was having feeding issues of some kind a few days ago, fixed by taking…

    Getting good Body Proportions in Second Life (Bug, Please Take Notes)

    This seems like a good starting point for Bug, who needs to mess with the sliders a bit to make herself look more… like the little red-headed tomboy she’s supposed to be. The bulk of what I’m posting below is my own re-phrasing of a guide posted on the official forums by Penny Patton. The forums have a habit of disappearing or getting buried, so I wanted to make a blog post with the same general advice. I know, only in SL would anyone consider a blog to have more viability of lasting than the actual official forum…Apart from the…

    Not Possible In Real Life: Star Destroyers Over Cathedrals

    It’s Sunday, let’s go to church: Constable’s “Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop’s Garden” is massively improved by these Star Destroyers, no? Yes. Of course. This would be quite easy to accomplish in Second Life, as star destroyers are actually more common than cathedrals there. As an occasional churchgoing man, it might be amusing to turn up for Morning Prayer at the Anglican Cathedral wearing the new “steam punk Zeppelin” new-player avatar. In unrelated news: my KittyCats pet Minnie has informed me that she had her first kittenbox! Miss Lelani and I have been quite distracted with the creatures (her pet…

    @MoodyLoner Those damn fascist house gremlins! # @hbahimself I've got Picasa pretty organized, sorted everything into folders based on subject: trips taken, events, #SL groups, etc. # @hbahimself However I also use a Picasa2Flickr widget to make uploading to Flickr pretty painless! # Made a neko tail last night at KittyCatS in a class taught by Myrddin Janus.

    AT LAST: A new Steampunk flight-assist topper listed for #SecondLife

    I’ve been wearing it enough – for months, actually, and my friend BookemJackson Streeter loves hers, so it’s not like I couldn’t go ahead and box it up for sale, right? Right!! At last!  Have fun flying around your favorite Second Life locations in the Steamlands or anywhere with this Flight Assist Topper. In an antique Western medicine-show style, with flexi feathers and rotating, golden gears. Haida Indian sunburst detail on the gears; now you can visit Steelhead or one of the other Western themed Steampunk sims in style.This hat was originally a gift in the STEAM 4 hunt but…
