What a surprise! Today I received a festive email from Second Life, congratulating me with my 14th rezday. Somehow I had totally forgotten about it, but they are right. I am 14 years old today! Oh the things I’ve seen and one in those years…sigh… And of course I hope to see and do lots…

Originally posted on What the Huck?:
In just over a month it will be a year since the release of my sci-fi machinima, STÖMOL. Since a big part of my motivation for creating the movie was to promote and celebrate Second Life, building an exhibition for SL18B – the celebration of SL’s 18th birthday, which…
The SL18B Shop and Hop
Tomorrow, June 17th, Second Life’s 18th Birthday celebrations ‘Hidden Worlds’will begin, with SL18B regions filled with exhibitions and art installations by Second Life residents. This year I am particularly looking forward to it, for personal reasons, and I will blog about that tomorrow! The SL18B regions are non-commercial, so there is nothing to shop…but fear…
#TellMeWithoutTellingMe
Since a few weeks I’ve seen several challenges on social media with the hashtag #TellMeWithoutTellingMe. Mostly on Facebook and Twitter, challenging you to tell in what country you live or what you do for a living, without saying the name of said country or profession. I love these kind of challenges and thought it would…

I mean, why wouldn’t I need an animated dagger to throw and catch all day?! Because I had some trouble finding the dagger, I IMMed…

This week the new building replaced the old one and to celebrate there is a gift waiting for you inside! While I admit to love shopping at events or on the Marketplace…
Fantasy Faire 2021 – Somniatoris Arx
Before time as it was known, an entity fell from the heavens and embedded itself into the stone where it came to rest; until it too became part of the earth. Its passing brought unusual powers to the surrounding lands, and gifted the few who uncovered it the means to forge a civilization. In the…
Fantasy Faire 2021 – A’Dracunas
What awaits the curious visitor inside this gigantic nest. As you explore the myst hidden ground, popping sounds of hatching eggs fill the air. Does something slither around your ankles or is it your imagination? Is it friend or foe? A’Dracunas is (yet another) impressive Faireland at the Fantasy Faire! A land filled with gigantic…

Fantasy Faire 2021 – Featherfall
Did you know one of my hobbies and passions in real life is: knitting (and crochet) ? You did not? Well, now you know! After a day of working and before I log into Second Life I find it super relaxing to do something that does not involve a keyboard and a monitor. So I…
The Fantasy Faire 2021 is open!
Finally! I’ve said it before and will say it again: my all time favourite event in Second Life is open! For the past 10 days I had the honour to explore the regions, to take pictures for the official Fantasy Faire site, and in March I already took pictures for some of the official posters….

Summer of ’42
Step back in time and enjoy the summer of ’42 at the Element region (created and owned) by Sixdigital and Justice Vought, this brand-new region is too good to not visit. Summer of 42 is a coming-of-age film based on memoirs. During summer vacation on Nantucket Island in 1942, a youth eagerly awaiting his first…
Dear Nico – ‘Shame, shame, shame’
Hello dear readers! It has been a while since my last contribution to this blog, my apologies. It’s not that I haven’t received any letters from you, on the contrary. My absence had to to with an unfortunate incident involving a scrub bucket, hair dye and a crossbow. I might get into that story some…
