    Swimming With Dolphin 3.2.23198 On The Asthmatic Laptop

    As a fairly casual Second Life Resident, I generally stick to the tried and true: music and dance animations are the social glue of Second Life, a good graphics card and fast computer is a must, and the official Second Life Viewer sucks. It frustrates long-time users with its irritating features designed with the first time (or more likely, “one time” ) user in mind. The sidebar flyout is greatly improved over the original version, though. Now the “sidebar” is a series of sticky boxes that can be detached at either side or bottom, and not all of them have…

    Lifeboat? Bolt-Hole? @MariaKorolov ‘s “Free #OpenSim in a snap”

    I love my Second Life; my friends, my music streams, my favorite places. I love going to events in Steelhead and virtual church on Epiphany Island, and dancing at Cafe Wellstone on the mainland. I actually love the “old” Mainland areas where water, roads, rail, and quality builds make for a nice experience exploring or hanging out. I don’t love blingtards, or boobtards (pix!), or abandoned parcels littered with crashed police cars and random doors and bullets hanging 30m up in midair. I don’t love drama; I do love comedy. I don’t love Bug’s last name, as she used to…

    The Old New Frontier And The Not So Old New Frontier: Blue Mars Bought By Ball State

    Here’s the SLuniverse thread on the recent acquisition of Blue Mars by Ball State University. One post referenced the Blue Mars blog; the original press release had been pulled pending contracts. Many of you have been asking about last week’s announcement by Ball State University. Specifically, many of you have noted that the press release was pulled earlier this week. The press release was removed due to some contracts that have yet to be finalized and signed. Once that happens, we will release more information about the deal. This is pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if one…

    Made it to Labbieville. Screaming toddler was screaming. Parents seemed clueless, changed diaper with kid nakedy-jaybird across lap. # He (most definitely he) was probably too big for the fold-down change table in the lav. # @vicwu Must have been! # About to "fly" out of Labbieville. Teleportation is sooo much simpler. # @daftapeth We watch 5-0 too, its funny how many Camaros Avis had on the lot! # We may have stumbled across a film crew in Honolulu; a street was blocked off near the Bishop Museum. Traffic a mess, police tape too. # Wheels down ORD. Next time,…

    Schnappy Yooniformz und Nize Hets

    My young ward Bug has been getting in touch with her inner Jaegermädchen. She’s mostly green these days since she went on the Jaegerdraught Hunt and “drank the koolaid.”   Here she is, out on the Steam Hunt 6 course, searching for treasure underwater in a dive helmet kindly provided by one of the hunt merchants. She like snappy uniforms and nice hats. As it happens, my typist took a picture of the very thing that Bug craves: If you look quite carefully, you will of course see that this is a WUMMAN. The men’s version came with a horse.…
