Of course I have to check this out, I’ve been bouncing from one viewer to another recently and had been missing some of Firestorm features because I’d mostly been on Dolphin. This Firestorm update is HUGE with regard to features, fixes and improvements, and it brings us to 99% feature completeness compared to Phoenix. Almost four months in the making it is easily one of our biggest updates to date. Not only that, but it’s thoroughly quality tested by our revitalized Quality Assurance team using new structured test procedures by more than 100 dedicated beta testers! They’ve been REALLY busy!…

This is my… very first attempt to record a 100 Word Story, but it’s in a good cause. So if you must mock me, remember that. The reading takes place in Second Life on July 15, but the events in this little story took place in First Life at the end of May. The dialogue is taken from real texts, to and from various family members and friends, over a time period of about 2 weeks toward the end of my mom-in-law’s losing battle with cancer. I didn’t want to fictionalize it too much, but had to compress the “narrative”…

FINALLY listed something new at #SLMarketplace – a Red, White, and Blue Patriotic Lei for July 4th C/M/nt: http://t.co/isODchkk # The nation mourns, and whistles the theme of "The Andy Griffith Show" sadly. # @m_ethaniel Thanks for the RT. It's a start, anyway, though some of the other stuff on #SLMP is really good. # All the photos from Wednesday's virtual fireworks extravaganza-apocalypse R up at Flickr. will tweak some later http://t.co/EvYno8tp # RT @lizzwinstead And Joe Walsh is made of dumpster juice. #OKImReallyDone # @lizzwinstead Thank you, @RepJoeWalsh is in office because people were "bored" with politics (and pale…

“No pixels were harmed in the making of this apocalyptic evening of destruction.” The photos have all been uploaded to Flickr, a longer narrative will have to wait until there’s more time. But it was an awfully good time, what with the fireworks, patriotic music, mayhem, fire, and massive pinballs of destruction. A good time was had by all, who ended up dancing on the collapsed and burning wreckage (or trapped underneath it and forced to teleport out).

It’s about time I actually made something new, photographed it, and listed it at the Marketplace!! This creative block thing is for the birds. It’s so bad, that when I managed to actually finish something, I fought with 3 different Second Life Viewers to photograph it, wrestled with GIMP templates I haven’t touched in months, and repeatedly wondered “where the hell did I stash(the photos, my templates, my “patriotic” textures, my “builder’s skybox?”). It’s horrid! It’s bright! Feel free to tone it down. It’s copy, modify, but no transfer. Thanks to a customer inquiry, I got motivated to make something…

I took some time on the last weekend day of SL9B to go around on my own and experience a few more exhibits. Strangely, I didn’t take pictures, I just… played. I especially liked the ‘History of Second Life’ exhibit, and spent some time there reading notecards and making “bonk” noises going through. Then I spent a lot of time taking pictures of various stages. Unfortunately, the “mesh” Lake stage photo didn’t get saved properly – forgot to refresh the image. ARGH! Here’s a small gallery of photos… mostly of stages and friends’ builds. I ran into my friend Mistletoe…

Get a better graphics card. Better yet, get a better quad core processor with 2G memory. #SLInsults # Eat my pixeldust. #SLInsults # Yer momma wore prim-heel army boots. #SLInsults # @GoAngelo Okeydoke! Keep on tweetin. #

Torley must not have written this LL blog post, he’s ALL about the pinkitude (hey! They remembered they had a blog, stop complaining). Reports of hardware upgrades and colo consolidation and texture and object caching are good, except that it would seem to be positioning LL for making Second Life easier to access and display on lower-end machines… or the Web. Their recent acquisition of some kind of shared-narrative company might might be part of it, again aimed more at potential customers in the “mobile and social game ecospheres.” Less load on our machines is good, but they still need…

At the end of an informative talk about the Steamlands at SL9B by Herr Baron Klaus von Wulfenbach, someone mentioned that punch and pie had been promised. And so someone set out a variety of virtual desserts. Well, I don’t have punch, but here’s some family-recipe pie. Long story about this pie: it’s strawberry-rhubarb, and in my family it’s called “Damn Sour Pie.” One of my adult cousins requested it be made several years ago for a big family gathering (it was a sad yet happy gathering; a memorial party for an elderly relative that was truly a party). It…

@LindaKellie Don't worry about it, more people are absurdly grateful to you for the work you do. # @theguild "Pantsing Vork Scene" is a cover band waiting to be formed. # I am technically "working from home" tomorrow.
