Once again a superb Drune arrived in Second Life! I’ve been a fan of most of the Drune versions, though the real cyberpunk ones where my favorites – the one we filmed in for Stömol for instance. This time Hera (zee9.resident) gives us Drune – Diesel City, ‘Dieselpunk/Decopunk’ city. According to the explanation given by…

Planet Idun
The other week I explored Planet Idun, a Sci Fi jungle planet. Great for free form roleplay and photography. I took some pretty pics (if I may say so) and planned to return for some more exploring and information for a blogpost. So I did tonight, alas the region is closed, open only to certain…
Golgothica, time to Elf up again!

Some nights I just want to go to place and take pictures. Images to play around with in Photoshop (I am still learning!). It’s something I enjoy, both being in a cool place and finding objects or angles for a picture and afterwards trying out all kinds of stuff in Photoshop and see if the…
Back to the office
Once upon a time, before the year 2020, it was not unusual to have a day job that required you to leave your home and go to an office to work. Sounds crazy, right?But it is true, working has not always been sitting in your sweatpants behind a laptop at the kitchen table, while you…

Mystery Guests, a review of MAEVA Bora Bora
A few weeks ago Dirk Lemon, owner of the The SL Hotel Inspector website, asked me if I would like to do a review of one of Second Life’s luxury holiday resorts. Of course I was more than happy to do this, I love his website and who doesn’t like a vacation! Because a holiday…
