Interest piqued by DrFran Babcock’s SL Newser posts about the oldest places in Second Life, I went back and got a map from SLUniverse: (click for full size The posts DrFran has done so far: Da Boom, Ritch Link: What are the oldest remaining places in Second Life? – SLUniverse Forums

Who’s the maker? It looks like Draxtor’s work (that looks like him in the goggles). I recognize a few content providers, artists, builders, and products (I have that one Wasabi Pills mesh hair with the side braid in red). Seems to me Linden Lab is finally taking Resident suggestions to heart in marketing SL: Make it look COOOL. Emphasize the CREATIVITY Show people DOING STUFF like building, dancing, and shooting ZOMBEHS Interestingly, this video does not have any dialogue – just pounding music, jump cuts, saturated colors, and some text on-screen: “Explore. Share. Create.” and the classic “Your World. Your…

I’m participating in an Antique hunt that starts on Friday – must check in with the organizer and make sure I’ve got all my stuffs in a row. Here’s what I’ve been working on – I will be adding something to go with it, probably a nice rug made from a new set of tapestry textures I got. It’s derived from the exquisite Duc du Berry’s “Les Tres Riches Heures” manuscript, using the largest images I could find from a copyright-free museum site. I had to work with the images carefully so that they lined up correctly, as the original…

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).

Still, this Thursday Night Show thing is a lot of fun, very international, and normally…

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…

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…
