2012 – Not So Dark
SL Bloggers usually publish their 2012 wishlist (and an analysis of 2011) around this time of the year. Well, I’ll skip it for 2012. Doomsayers might claim that if even Gwyn cannot make predictions, then SL is truly and utterly doomed… I prefer to see it from the reverse perspective. When something is way too difficult to predict, it usually means that so many things are happening at the same time, with…
Giving New Worlds to the World
Almost a year in planning — but built in less than two weeks! — the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic officially launched on June 9, 2009, their first virtual presence in Second Life®. Commemorating the National Holiday of June 10 — Day of Portugal and of the Portuguese Communities, also celebrating the death of Portugal’s greatest poet Luís Vaz de Camões, who fixed the Portuguese language and grammar (similar to Shakespeare…
Creative as a Furry!…
If there is, indeed, a stereotype that you can apply to furries, is that they are all immensely creative. At least, in my journeys across the grid, I never met one that wasn’t. I guess it’s just the way they’re wired in their brains Among the furry friends I’ve got, however, one is definitely masterclass-creative. Master Selkit Diller has created scenes for computer games, and he’s a genius at creating immersive environments…
Hair Fair 2008
Second Life’s Annual Hair Fair has launched a few days ago, and naturally enough, I couldn’t resist to drop by and have a look at it. After all, it’s just once per year that Six Kennedy and my good friends Washu Zebrastripe, Paisley Poindexter, Mikayla Kohl, among many others, put up this amazing (and rather unique!) fair up and running, showing off the best of the best of what has been…
Disrupting Second Life®, The Loco Pocos Way
What does it take to completely revamp Second Life® as an immersive platform that has little or nothing to do with the environments we’re used to see all around us? Well, the answer by Damien Fate and Washu Zebrastripe seems to be: not much, except for a lot of creativity and a huge amount of detailed, professional work. So bear with me in this journey across the redefinition of what…
To Boldly Go To Where No Avatar Has Gone Before
“Gwyneth,” Commander Au said to me, twirling his moustache behind the floating desk at HQ. “We have, uh… an issue.” I dropped the pad on my lap and looked up to him. His mischievous smile was getting on my nerves. Sighing, I scratched my head, and mumbled: “What issue?” “Well, the guys at the old asteroid mining station in Epsilon Eridani told HQ that production has dropped dramatically. We don’t…
The Royal Opera House of Lisbon is back in-world!
Thanks to the fantastic people at Info Island, sponsored by the The American Library Association (ALA), namely Rain Noonan — who does opera singing iRL as well — Moon Adamant’s old project, the Royal Opera House of Lisbon (a building opened to the public in April 1755 and destroyed in the big Lisbon Earthquake of November 1755) is back again, this time on the ALA Arts Info Island sim, where…
The Church Meetings at the Neufreistadt Kirche
Many of you are now tired of listening to me talking about the old Neualtenburg Projekt (yes, with a K, to use the German spelling), currently known as the City of Neufreistadt, and about several of its aspects. While it is not a “city” — a good description, due to its size and population, is a “hamlet” — it incorporates several things that people associate with a “city”. The urban…
Some pictures of my home…
This was my home in Second Life® for almost 10 months, I have since moved on, but I’ve left here a few old photos… Uli is a mountainous region with a lake and a river well below. I live almost at the top of one of the mountains, so I get a good view on what’s there to see. Here go a few images of my home: The outfit I’m…
