    Watching The Thursday Night Show In #SecondLife Sort Of – @GentlemanRhymer set up next

    So here I am inworld, trying to listen to a live webcast of Britain’s “The Thursday Night Show” which this week includes a live webcast from a club in Brighton, UK… and Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer is going to play at about 9pm-ish GMT (UK time). Unfortunately the inworld browser doesn’t care for the (very fun) Flash plugins for chat and images, so I have it up on Media on a Prim, sort of, but have to listen and watch on a “normal” browser. Still, this Thursday Night Show thing is a lot of fun, very international, and normally…

    Dancing with Feesh! Also New Stuffs, Looking Forward To Lantern City, and eh, Wot?

    It was a lot of fun listening to Krypton Radio tonight, in spite of some technical glitches. They’re going to get to do an interview with Bruce Boxleitner (yes, yes, Captain Sheridan and Tron and all). He has a new project coming out sometime, a Steampunk one at that, and fan friendly as well: Lantern City. Well, this looks like exactly the kind of thing I’d like to watch: The new Steampunk show Lantern City, from executive producer Bruce Boxleitner, is an exciting foray into fan-inspired and fan-created television. It combines first-rate storytelling, innovative production design, and a rich world…

    Folding Mesh Room Screen – Sakura Sunset – $L250

    Another arty one – this one is a processed photo of myself wearing a spring kimono at a really beautiful Japanese-themed sim that had a magnificent “cherry-blossom-viewing” festival a couple of years ago. It’s been treated to look a bit like an old painting, layered on a gold abstract background. Animated folding MESH room divider screen adds Asian style and modern flair to any room. Touch to fold screen to the side, touch again to open. The screen panels are one retexturable face, as are the wood frames and the hinges. Keep a backup copy if you retexture (remember to…

    Folding Mesh Room Screen – Gold Matsu – $L225

    Animated folding MESH room divider screen adds Asian style and modern flair to any room. Touch to fold screen to the side, touch again to open. The screen panels are one retexturable face, as are the wood frames and the hinges. Keep a backup copy if you retexture (remember to retexture the folded screen too). I have included the screen panel image in case you retexture and wish to revert the original design. I hope you enjoy this product as much as I did in creating it, from an original kit by Sea Warcliffe and script by Tapple Gao Item…

    Meshing About, With Boat

    Oh, hey, I made a thing here. Actually, two things. Thing One is a pinky purpley mesh blocky thing. After reading through some really helpful TEXT and STILL PICTURE tutorials from Tufts University last night, I sat down and made a random shape via extrusions at lunch, in about 15 minutes start to finish. Woo. And then I assigned a material to it and uploaded to my standalone grid, using Kokua because Firestorm-OS crashed to desktop. And hey, IT WORKED. What a bumblefrack it was, though. Sorry that it’s disturblingly blocky and unnatural, yet evocative of a certain much-mocked object…

    Why I Read Your #SecondLife Blog (in the generic “you” sense)

    I just unsubscribed to several Second Life-oriented blogs that have been in my feed reader for at least a year or more. There’s no specific reason or personal agita over why I’ve stopped reading those blogs, other than I’m not interested in self-generated drama, and I’m not interested in how many come-ons someone gets who makes a point of hanging out in the kinds of places where online come-ons are a given. I’m really not interested in reading yet another complaint about how generous you’ve been with your creations, yet people don’t appreciate you. Well, people do appreciate it when…
