Are Digital Games Art? Are Immersive Virtual Worlds Art? The Guardian’s Jonathan Jones Thinks Not #ArtOrNotArt #SecondLife

December 1, 2012 - By Lelani

The Museum of Modern Art will exhibit images from digital games and virtual worlds, but The Guardian's Jonathan Jones thinks such images are not art. I'm no artist, but I think there' s some pretty artistic stuff going on in Second Life, though Jonathan Jones will pooh-pooh the idea. The Guardian article posted a companion gallery of images from or for the exhibition, but didn't bother to include any images from Second Life as examples of digital-game or immersive-world art. They did include shots from Sim City, EVE-Online, Myst, The Sims, and Portal along with other game screenshots.

Kipling Rock on the Clackamas River: Virtual Project for Steelhead St Helens in Second Life

November 11, 2012 - By Lelani

Hands bloodied and soaked from the waist down, Rudyard Kipling was happy. Not just happy, "utterly, supremely, and consummately happy," the famed author wrote, lying on the bank of the Clackamas River next to the first salmon he'd ever caught. Today, historians and fishermen say it was actually steelhead Kipling and his two companions nabbed that day in June 1889, but it's a minor discrepancy in an otherwise fondly written account of the trip that has resonated with anglers and local residents for more than a century.

Nice article about @rodvik and #LindenLabs and #SecondLife and Creativity and STUFF!

October 25, 2012 - By Lelani

As it happens, it’s my fifth rezday today, but the silly typist had some ridiculous singing practice thing and then was procrastinating on a web project. But hey, here’s another example of “good press” for Rod Humble, Linden Labs, Creatorverse, Patterns, and oh, yeah, Second Life. It makes perfect sense that Humble would wind up at Linden Lab, the company best known for the virtual world Second Life. It’s as successful a canvas for the communal creation of a virtual world as there’s been. It’s been a viable digital canvas for about a decade now has been populated by users…

Yet Another Streaming Radio App: TuneIn Is Pretty Awesome, Actually.

October 13, 2012 - By Lelani

UPDATE: had to go hunt down a valid URL again for WXRT's HD "New Music" stream to load into another Internet radio player. I don't have TuneIn on my old laptop; for that I use Clementine, which is kind of twitchy but works on desktops like WinAmp did, but also scrobbles tracks via Last.fm or Audioscrobbler.

Gearing up for STEAM 7 in #SecondLife

July 25, 2012 - By Dhughan

UPDATE: Apologies to the person who tried to buy an item from a non-working vendor. New vendor goes live tonight. /me whacks head with stick Dhughan here, finally getting “on the stick” as it were. Rather embarassed to admit how little headway I’ve made with my products since this pompous and self-important post. However, the new shop in Tweddle is open. my parkland in Steelhead St Helens is soon to sport a wee cabin, and I’ve finally begun making new items and improving older ones. There is now a free AO (men’s and women’s) in a box at the Tweddle…

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

June 30, 2012 - By Lelani

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…
