My friend Mistletoe Ethaniel runs the Wee Little Irish Pub in #Second Life and also does fireworks shows inworld. Pictures from opening night, with Caoilte Skytower perfoming on a badass lute, and also some shots of her fireworks show for the opening of Godric’s Faire in a Harry Potter themed sim last April. Caoilte (pronounced “kwil-cha”) performing, with our hostess with the elfin mostest in the background. This is at the Wee Little Irish Pub’s previous location, but it’s now in Lionheart Timon Yeah, I’m a wallflower drinkin’ mah virtual Guinness. Don’t bug me, I’m busy quaffin’ and participating in…

Crossposted from my typist’s blog, because it’s appropriate for the day I don’t care whether my RL and SL identities are linked it’s a hybrid post with images from both sides of the uncanny divide Dear Wally (nobody ever called you Edward except your dad, and the Army), A lot has happened since 1968. Your two daughters have grown up, and you’re a name on a smoothly polished, black granite wall in Washington DC . They’ve both struggled a bit (maybe because you were taken away from them far too soon) but seem to be fine now. You’re a grandfather,…

Dhughan here, just fell down a rabbit hole in the best possible way. Don’t miss seeing seeing “Alice in WonderSLand” in Second Life, starting May 2! Buy tickets here. Through a lucky chance, I was invited to watch a dress rehearsal of the Avatar Repertory Theater’s production of “Alice” by a friend, Miss Elegia Underwood (who played Alice tonight, but alternates in the role for most of the run). I’m so glad I had the experience; it was a memorable evening of theater, for all that it took place on my electronic-typing-viewglass-thingummy. That is to say, it was a fine…

Okay, this is really, really… weird. I was in a class at Caledon Oxbridge and realized that it was a little more basic than I needed (though it was about making them, it was actually about finding and wearing clothes and attachments). So on a whim, I whipped out my iPhone and tried to log in my alt to see what would happen (yes, I know it’s possible to log in with multiple computers and laptops, but this… this is an iPhone, people). And… succeeded. But in a truly odd way. From Northwest Indian Images He’s a wizened little boy…

I was checking on the neighboring parcels today and noticed that one of the “garbage” parcels sold, and now has some kind of doohickey thing on it. aiologix Woops, did a quick and dirty screenshot-crop, it included some chat and buttons. Anyway, what is this for, and is it good, bad, or neutral? From the angle, you can see the trench that’s another garbage plot, and in fact this probe sits in a trench with another smaller garbage plot that’s bounded on 3 sides by a decent-sized 400m plot that’s currently overpriced for the prims it would bring. I don’t…

I missed this event on #secondlife last week because I was traveling: Dave Niewert discussed his book The Eliminationists with @JC_Christian, the General. Jackson Street Books: David Neiwert in Second Life David Neiwert, founder and award-winning journalist and blogger at Orcinus and of late, at Crooks and Liars discusses his latest book The Eliminationists with Jesus’ General, GenJC Christian. Eliminationism: a politics and a culture that shuns dialogue and the democratic exchange of ideas in favor of the pursuit of outright elimination of the opposing side, either through suppression, exile, and ejection, or extermination. Rich in historical and journalistic detail,…

Sometimes when inworld, I don’t care for whatever music is offered by shopping sites – especially when “on the hunt” for good quality freebies, popping in and out from one location to another. Some time ago I tinkered with various media players that can access Internet radio, and eventually settled on WinAmp (which has some rather annoying features, but it works for me). I have a fairly long playlist now of “My Stations” that include several favorite Real Life items, some encountered from trips. Recently via BoingBoing I found out about SomaFM’s amazing Mission Control project. It’s the ultimate in…

My SL neighbor Mist started a blog for our home sim, and things are already starting to happen over there. Welcome new people… « Northfarthing I’ve got a handful of invites sent out, and a few new folks here at the NF blog and on WP. Welcome welcome, make yourself at home. Clean my kitchen. (Can’t blame me for trying…) Here’s a question, to get some conversation started: what do you like best about NF? It’s a quiet sim… not much happens there. People peacefully go about their business and nobody bothers anyone else, except for the odd kidnapping, or…
