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…
Agent Smith is right…
(…and so is my best friend Ratt, who uses this quote every now and then for his own reasons and occasions) I use it now for the first time, referring to what once seemed a nice place for discussions and opinions… ‘I am going to be honest with you. I… hate… this place, this zoo,…
Unbelievable?
Yeah, it’s true. Honest. I was minding my own business (read: doing nothing) and then….out of the blue: I got an IM, was asked out for a dance and had a lovely Sunday-night :).
Les Miserables
“We do not claim that the portrait we present here is a true one, only that it comes close“ Once upon a time, when I was young and innocent *cough*, I wanted to become a teacher and studied French (and English). I always loved reading books, still do, and for my study I had to…
I’m Posting every day in 2011!
I’ve decided I want to keep this blog updated daily and entered the WordPress Challenge for 2011! Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now. I will be posting on this blog once a day for all of 2011! I know it won’t be easy, but it might be fun, inspiring, awesome…
In 2011, I will try..
to keep this blog up to date as I have tried so far to find new places to explore and share to be a better fighter! to stay out of the GD Forum and its poisonous clique to make sure ImperiuM is the coolest place to be to keep my friends close and my enemies…
Déja Vu – in reverse
This afternoon, when driving home from work, I was listening to the radio (and singing out loud) to the so-called : top 900 of the 90’s. Not very exiting, I admit. One particular song stayed in my head and when I was home I looked up the official video-clip on YouTube to refresh my memory….
