    FINALLY listed something new at #SLMarketplace – a Red, White, and Blue Patriotic Lei for July 4th C/M/nt: http://t.co/isODchkk # The nation mourns, and whistles the theme of "The Andy Griffith Show" sadly. # @m_ethaniel Thanks for the RT. It's a start, anyway, though some of the other stuff on #SLMP is really good. # All the photos from Wednesday's virtual fireworks extravaganza-apocalypse R up at Flickr. will tweak some later http://t.co/EvYno8tp # RT @lizzwinstead And Joe Walsh is made of dumpster juice. #OKImReallyDone # @lizzwinstead Thank you, @RepJoeWalsh is in office because people were "bored" with politics (and pale…

    Antique Square Fireworks Display Ends In Virtual Disaster

    “No pixels were harmed in the making of this apocalyptic evening of destruction.” The photos have all been uploaded to Flickr, a longer narrative will have to wait until there’s more time. But it was an awfully good time, what with the fireworks, patriotic music, mayhem, fire, and massive pinballs of destruction. A good time was had by all, who ended up dancing on the collapsed and burning wreckage (or trapped underneath it and forced to teleport out).

    NEW: Patriotic Party Lei on #SLMarketplace (Too Garish, or Just Right For da Big Boom?)

    It’s about time I actually made something new, photographed it, and listed it at the Marketplace!! This creative block thing is for the birds. It’s so bad, that when I managed to actually finish something, I fought with 3 different Second Life Viewers to photograph it, wrestled with GIMP templates I haven’t touched in months, and repeatedly wondered “where the hell did I stash(the photos, my templates, my “patriotic” textures, my “builder’s skybox?”). It’s horrid! It’s bright! Feel free to tone it down. It’s copy, modify, but no transfer. Thanks to a customer inquiry, I got motivated to make something…

    SL9B: The After Party, And The Trolleyman Cometh

    I took some time on the last weekend day of SL9B to go around on my own and experience a few more exhibits. Strangely, I didn’t take pictures, I just… played. I especially liked the ‘History of Second Life’ exhibit, and spent some time there reading notecards and making “bonk” noises going through. Then I spent a lot of time taking pictures of various stages. Unfortunately, the “mesh” Lake stage photo didn’t get saved properly – forgot to refresh the image. ARGH! Here’s a small gallery of photos… mostly of stages and friends’ builds. I ran into my friend Mistletoe…

    Linden Labs’ Server Side Heavy Lifting: Less Pink, More Shrink If First Hour Issues Not Addressed

    Torley must not have written this LL blog post, he’s ALL about the pinkitude (hey! They remembered they had a blog, stop complaining). Reports of hardware upgrades and colo consolidation and texture and object caching are good, except that it would seem to be positioning LL for making Second Life easier to access and display on lower-end machines… or the Web. Their recent acquisition of some kind of shared-narrative company might might be part of it, again aimed more at potential customers in the “mobile and social game ecospheres.” Less load on our machines is good, but they still need…

    Who wants pie? I WANT PIE at the end of the party #SL9B

    At the end of an informative talk about the Steamlands at SL9B by Herr Baron Klaus von Wulfenbach, someone mentioned that punch and pie had been promised. And so someone set out a variety of virtual desserts. Well, I don’t have punch, but here’s some family-recipe pie. Long story about this pie: it’s strawberry-rhubarb, and in my family it’s called “Damn Sour Pie.” One of my adult cousins requested it be made several years ago for a big family gathering (it was a sad yet happy gathering; a memorial party for an elderly relative that was truly a party). It…
