Last night’s dance raised around 11,000L (about $43 USD), including long-distance donations from friends who couldn’t make the dance itself. Add to that $45 donated to PayPal so far. Add to that the 10K lindens (about $40 USD) out of my own savings I’m cashing out. Add to that the $36 in CD sales and … Continue reading »

RL Rears Its Ugly Head
I always liked that phrase. Such good imagery. ”Rears its ugly head” conjures up images of a sleeping monster suddenly awakened, and as soon as you see that head come up, oh kids you know you’re in for it. Well, the ugly head that RL has reared in our world is none other than The … Continue reading »
How To Be A Terrible SL Lover
Reblogged from Humm Magazine: How to be a Terrible SL Cyberlover ©Humm Magazine March 3, 2011 Okay. Let’s say you’ve already taken care of the preliminaries. You’ve got your stock SL body adjusted for maximum sexiness: for women, boobs and legs at 100%, the rest of you as skinny as you can make her. For … Continue reading »
July
Anyone who’s read my blog for at least one of its four years has probably picked up on a pattern by now. Then again I flatter myself, to think anyone really gives enough of a good god damn about my SL habits to look for a pattern. Anyway what I’m getting at is this: when … Continue reading »
Clover is MIA – UPDATED
I mean, no, she’s not the rapper, I mean she’s missing in action. Only that’s not a really apt comparison, in that she can’t log in and therefore there is no action in which to be missing. It’s Day 4 now that I’m unable to log her in. I type in her name, her password, … Continue reading »
Oh no! Dramatic Woe!
I stumbled onto a small shop called SWAN Animations by way of the Marketplace. So I went to check out some of their animations in person. Not a bad selection at all, and I can see some of them being very useful if I’m going to make machinima. Like this one, called Dramatic Woe. Nabbed … Continue reading »
Bitten By the Bug
So yesterday, just for fun, I downloaded CaptureMe. It’s a free/opensource screen-and-video capture application for the Mac. Its video capabilities are limited; it will shoot up to 60 seconds of video, but no audio. Well, that got me thinking about a medium that used images but no audio: old-fashioned silent films. So, to familiarize myself … Continue reading »
Destruction at Antique Square
So last night was, as promised, my biggest and most explosive fireworks show ever. The opening didn’t go according to plan; I had a whole carefully programmed (pyreographed?) show to accompany Fanfare for the Common Man. And I was going to have the text spell out the well-known sentence from the Preamble to the Declaration: … Continue reading »
A Faster Way to Program Your Fireworks
So if you’re a pyromaniac– er, pyrotechnician in Second Life, like me, then surely you’re familiar with the DeCuir programmable launchers. They are, and rightly so, an industry standard for blowing things up artfully. But, if you want to program your own show, it can get a bit time-consuming. You click “queue”. Wait for the … Continue reading »
Fireworks: You Simply Can Not Miss…
I gotta say, I’m pretty freakin’ proud of how the poster came out for this Wednesday night’s boomy fun. I used a historical example: I originally did the crossed firecrackers, but it made the poster seem too busy. So I went without. But, anyway! Wednesday night. I’m drilling this into your head. Come at 8:30 … Continue reading »
