Creativ(ity) is an easy kill. A simple search of creativity killers yields a multitude of would be candidates: television, the Internet, inflexibility, too much flexibility, fear, lack of fear, goals, lack of goals, time pressure, too much time. The list is sizable. via Phasing Grace | Social Architectures and Virtual Worlds: A Penchant for Creativity – Knights and Nobles. Wow! Yes. I am a little behind on a commitment I made to myself and to others to create, create, create. And the killers are all listed above, but chiefly “fear, surprise, terror, and an almost ruthless INefficiency” which causes me…

The tour includes 15 different locations with a theme of trains and transportation.The Grand Tour began in 2008 as a positive expression after some unpopular decisions by Linden Lab left many residents discouraged. A few people got together and created the marathon event. The All Aboard Grand Tour is the fifth tour. The creator of the event, Fogwoman Gray, summarizes the purpose, which had become the motto of all grand tours: “To bring all nations and groups together…

Just like this woman here, except that most of my stuff is not rezzed, it’s just sitting in my inventory making me wonder “what the hell is that?” And then a lot more of it is boxed up in an “organizer” which isn’t really that useful, and consists of freebies from various seasonal hunts that are individually nice, but collectively are a nightmare. What to do? The memories! I can’t dump them!

Insightful new thought-leader emerges in Second Life, so look for @StopClengBenk to start his libelous smears on the Twitter soon. Also, it’s Bewbie Wednesday! Please, won’t someone remember the chickens? The first step for those who try to undermine our way of life is always to have us start fighting amongst ourselves. That way we are too busy to notice their machinations. They have succeeded in starting a grid-wide civil war between the bunnies and the ponies. Have you noticed that nobody is even talking about the poor chickens? Wake up people! They’re trying to tear us apart!

Dhughan attended yet another class on sculpted prims, and came away shaking his head at choices offered if we want to get serious about making stuffs again – and not get too frustrated at our inability to make anything besides blobs. Sculptypaint, for all its excellent freeness, is really limited in its usefulness. It’s marvelous for producing simple-ish geometric shapes, which can also be twisted and textured in the program. It’s a steller smoother, if a sculpt has been produced with a different program. But for detailed sculpting, or a carved or high-relief look, not easy to use. So hey,…
