In 1978, when I was a young, innocent, Caity, I had my first crush. The object of my affection was Han Solo – later I learned this was Harrison Ford, but for me in those days he was Han Solo – and I was deeply in love with him. My grandfather bought me a pop-up…
It’s the season after all!
While I usually do not really blog items, I love to make an exception for this awesome prop with animations. It made me laugh out loud in real life when I tried it out, and since it has a really cool animation…I had to make a short video to show it – a picture would…
One hand in my pocket
December. The last month of the year, typically making me look back and reflect on real life and Second Life. Going through my files filled with pics of locations, events and all that…I stumbled upon an online karaoke session and recording I did with Ratt, a dear friend, who left Second Life years ago, but…
The Plain of Jars
Fitch Lekvoda’s “The Plain of Jars” is…well, that. A plain of jars. Giants jars. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Some half covered in the sand, others standing in the sun. And nobody really knows where they came from or what they mean. “Some now recall the legend of the giant King’s victory banquet. Believing the…
La Digue du Braek
La Digue du Braek, by Serene Footman (known from his popular sim Furillen) and Jade Koltai, is the Second Life version – or interpretation – of a real life location in Dunkerque, France. A road, 7 kilometers long, with a beach on one side and heavy industries on the other side, a wonderful landscape if…

‘Come as you are’ – for Art at the Park
A few weeks ago I got an invitation from Inara Pey, who invited me to display my work at Holly Kai Park – for their monthly exhibition ‘Art at the Park‘. I was hesitant at first, it is no secret I am not a fan of SL photo-works being displayed Inworld. I simply do not…
‘My building in others’ photos – by Huckleberry Hax
Originally posted on What the Huck?:
A while back I posted about my new, 23 prim, six floor building that I’d put on sale on the Marketplace. I wasn’t really expecting it to sell – especially seeing as how it isn’t mesh – but then again it was a labour of love for me and…
From Here On There Be Dragons
“Always remember, it’s simply not an adventure worth telling if there aren’t any dragons.” ~J.R.R Tolkien From Here On There be Dragons is an art installation, currently on display at Split Screen, by Alpha Auer. A modern building in the sky, guarded by amazing golden Dragons. The mythological creatures stand on a floor which is…

Yasminia
Yesterday I explored a new, to me, place: Yasminia. I had seen so many wonderful pictures on Flickr lately, all shot there – so naturally I was excited to go see it for myself. Yasminia is a truly lovely, rural location. Not too much autumn, but a bit of green too and no snow yet!…
Book review: SIM by Huckleberry H. Hax
Published last month, October 2016, SIM is the latest novella by Second Life author Huckleberry Hax. While for instance Huck’s popular AFK-series and Amazing Metaverse (collected short stories) were set in Second life, SIM is not. It is however situated in a Virtual reality, Huck introduced SIM on his own website with this teaser: ‘What…
Stop.Reset.Breathe – A reply-post
My friend Beth has gone through a rough Second Life summer and today she posted an article on her blog, explaining why she has reset her Second Life past and purged her Flickr, virtually erasing a couple of months. I think we, Second Life residents, can relate to that. Second Life is, for most, not…
Just say ‘yes’
“It has been too long since we’ve met, I am glad I finally have some time for a chat. You are my best friend and I am sorry for having been so quiet, I have missed you so, so much. And because you are important to me I would love to have you sitting on…
Reciprocal
Reciprocal, one of those words I cannot pronounce out loud without breaking my tongue. Admitting the Dutch word for it (wederkerig) is so old-fashioned, I doubt anyone born before 1960 knows what it means! Why this pondering over a word I cannot pronounce properly and which is so out of date in my native language?…
