I got a group message from one of my Steelhead compatriots, Fuzzball Ortega, that he had a DJ gig going on T1 Radio at the Second Life Christmas Expo until 11am SLT. I had some time in the middle of the day, so off I went to check it out before having to get back to work: TUESDAY – 12/11 – All Today’s Music Sponsored by T1 Radio! 9 – 11am: DJ Fuzzball Ortega of T1 Radio 11- 1 pm: DJ Mark Attenborough – the Voice of Second Life 1 – 4pm: DJ Vic Mornington of T1 Radio 5 –…

The Museum of Modern Art will exhibit images from digital games and virtual worlds, but The Guardian's Jonathan Jones thinks such images are not art. I'm no artist, but I think there' s some pretty artistic stuff going on in Second Life, though Jonathan Jones will pooh-pooh the idea. The Guardian article posted a companion gallery of images from or for the exhibition, but didn't bother to include any images from Second Life as examples of digital-game or immersive-world art. They did include shots from Sim City, EVE-Online, Myst, The Sims, and Portal along with other game screenshots.

Two hours of Swing Revival, Jazz and a little Electro-swing, as only Edward Pearse can do. Friday night 30th November 7:00 – 9:00pm SLT http://slurl.com/secondlife/Seraph%20City/64/80/106/ Link: Through the Filter of a Victorian Aesthetic: Swing Dance at The Seraph Club UPDATE: This was a really enjoyable event; I went dressed in a kind of gun-moll outfit and wore my Thadovian Man-Melter pistol (non-lethal) on my thigh. I also was at Cafe Wellstone listening to a comedy podcast, at Toot Toot’s Carolina Pub listening to a great set of tunes all about whistling, and ended up at Steelhead’s Friday night dance, which…

Simple four-panel Asian style room divider or boudoir screen. Semi-transparent, so best if placed in front of a solid textured wall. Works with many different styles of decor and eras.

I tried and failed numerous times to create and bake a simple sculptmap of a blob. It was just a practice blob, and I got it to work ONCE, which was encouraging. But every other time, the steps seemed to be different. Things weren't on the menu that had been there before. My inner volcano erupted, and much screaming, bad language, and tears of frustration ensued (luckily no one else was home except the cat, who wisely chose to remain upstairs).

Yes, there’s been a lot going on in my First Life. Nothing bad, just stuff that was interesting or engaging. Of course, the election news was good for me and other reality-based life forms. And also mundane things like new episodes of favorite television programs, family get-togethers on weekends, and one or two very sad events that really brought everything to a halt for a while. After that, it was easier to just watch TV and read news and blogs. I’m inworld now, goofing around in Cafe Wellstone watching the People’s Bailout show with Lizz Winstead. I just happened to…

Hmm, this little one-seater biplane looks pretty sweet, and I’m told the animations are cute. Second Life has been working lately to make being a Resident fun again (aside from the bug reports that aren’t interactive anymore and the lack of communication by the Markeptplace team with Merchants. Anyway, this gift is free to paid members and people with “concierge” level membership (ie they own entire islands and estates and pay a boatload of monthly tier (which most try to make up with rents or product sales).I might have to check it out using one of my viewers that has…

An interesting development – Ciaran Laval noted that Second Life Marketplace is running some kind of contest to name new Female Skins subcategories – the prize is $L2489, enough to pay for a month of front page ads. Of more specific interest – some of the things I make (fountains, floor lamps and desk lamps) are going to have their own categories. My friend Mistletoe might possibly be interested in the new expanded Food and Drink categories. Hmm. Recreation and Entertainment/Food and Drink Add “Foodâ€. Under “Foodâ€, add the following: Add “Fruits & Vegetables†Add “Vegetables†Add “Meat, Fowl &…
