When this post will go live, I will probably sit in a KLM plane on my way for a business travel, given if there is no delay. Anyway, I recently visited the Airfrance-KLM Museum in Second Life, not a very impressive museum..and maybe the word ‘museum’ is a bit too much, but it was fun…
On my way!
The coming days I will be travelling for real-life work, so won’t be in world or online much :(. But! Thanks to WordPress’ amazing feature of blogging in the future…I have prepared some blog posts for this week and they will pop online automatically, so I can keep up with the challenge of ‘post a…
Little Red Riding Hood
A while ago I posted a machinima, movie made in Second Life, by Toxic Menges about the Water Horse. This morning, while browsing YouTube, I stumbled across a new movie made by Toxic: Little Red Riding Hood. You really have to watch it…it’s absolutely amazing and funny too, but maybe not suitable as a bedtime…
Annon, The Gate
Via the SL Destination Guide (what would I do without it!!) I discovered a beautiful sim, Annon. It has several amazing castles. The one I liked most is The Gate. An impressive monastery built on a rock, surrounded by waves (a bit too noisy to my taste), populated with seals and seagulls and huge waterfalls….
Sway’s
On one of my travels I found a lovely small square, surrounded by little shops selling furniture (home & hobby), clothing (dressed), teddy bears (cookie bears) and animations (swAyNimations) called: SwayLand. I found out all shops are from the same creator, Sway Dench, who really makes lovely and original creations of all sorts! I had…

Meanwhile in the Dojo…
While busy working in RL, I parked Cait on a bench in the Dojo, so she could watch H and Uri spar :). I like watching spars when doing other stuff, it’s kind of relaxing in a weird way. The clinging sounds of the blades, the bloodsplashes..hehe! Of course I was distracted for a moment…
Only in Second Life
Can you row a boat without paddles!
Kirstens S21 – Online social media ready!
It’s no secret I enjoy Second Life, using Kirstens S20 viewer. A nice TPV with all the features of LL’s Viewer 2, but with some extra’s (great skies for photography, radar up to 512 nearby, more options for buttons in bars, double-click to teleport etc). Last night I installed a brand new one, a release…
Back to life
I needed to be in Real Life for some days. After a lousy week with flu and feeling awful, I spent a couple of days at my sister who took care of me. I needed that, really. She took me to a spa-resort, for sauna and a wonderful massage, cooked for me and let me…
The Water Horse – by Toxic Menges
Via one of the forums of Second Life, I found this impressive machinima made by Toxic Menges. The horse in the movie is not an attachment or pet, but an avatar. I enjoyed watching this machinima, for its ambiance, music, the scenery and how smooth the horse moves….just lovely! (it’s best to watch it in…
The armed N00bs are coming!
When I logged in briefly this morning in ImperiuM , I saw a little green dot on the minimap. I hopped over (yay, I love double-click to teleport!) to go say ‘hello’ to the visitor! I am not sure if it was a ‘he’ or a ‘she’, the name did not tell it either, but…
Come fly with me…
Fever got me and it’s bad. A flu without having a cold. I am miserable and not in the mood for fighting. Or te be in world a lot. Anyway! To cheer myself up I transformed into an Elf. A pink one, of course! I kind of liked running around as the Christmas Elf the…
Toxic
Not something you may think about, when exploring Second Life: a reconstruction of the Union Carbide Chemical plant in Bhopal India, 1984 – shortly after the gas leak that caused so many deaths…I am old enough to remember this tragedy and all the awful images on television-news back then, but to be honest; in Europe…
1000 Avatars – by Gracie Kendal
When browsing the Destination Guide (well, actually I was checking if the ImperiuM is still in there and yeah, we are) I found an interesting art project : 1000 Avatars, a project by Gracie Kendal. Gracie Kendal is an avatar, and in RL she is an artist (Kristine Schomaker). Read all about her on her…
