Most of my online time I now spend on the Fairelands, enjoying the scenery, the parties and…looking at visitors strolling by, also referred to as ‘Faire Folk’. A huge diversity in looks and outfits, humans, elves, dwarfins and….dragons! I managed to catch some on tape, as you know Dragons are really shy and they usually…

Rebeca Bashly’s Chronophobia
It has been a while since I tried to produce an SL machinima, but yesterday I felt in the mood and wanted to do a blogpost with a video. And what better topic than Rebeca Bashly’s art installation on Split Screen, ‘Chronophobia’. I always love Rebeca’s work and this piece is no exception, though it…
Maison de L’Amitie
As usual, in this time of year, there are dozens – if not dozens of dozens – winter themed sims with snow and all sorts of Holiday decorations and activities. I find it therefore not so easy to explore real nice ones, although I am sure there are lots of them. Also, I’d rather not…
SL12B, The Ixtlan Stage and Patch and Dee Linden talked in the Auditorium

Machinima, how about adding some life to your blog!
Originally posted on SL Blogger Support:
Yes. I am going to talk about machinima, or: short online videos you can produce when in Second Life. Social Media as a whole is a very visual world. Pictures win from text, videos win from pictures. This does not, by all means, imply you need to stop writing…
What Second Life means to me
Today Xiola Linden posted a blog and a thread, for Second Life’s 12th anniversary, including a YouTube videoclip with theme’What Second Life means to me’. A wonderful video, made by Torley, and within minutes Strawberry Singh posted hers – made by Draxtor. The idea is, to have residents make a video and share their view…

The Princess and the Pea – by Toxic Menges
A classic fairytale, one of my favourites when I was a lil Caity. Oh, I remember I had this wonderful book with fairytales, with glittery pages you could flip up to make them 3 dimensional! Gawd, I ruined it by looking and playing with it for hours and hours, while in my head I WAS…

Today I got a link to a machinima shot in Combat Samurai Island, the home of C:si (the combat system we use), made by Bert Jedburgh.It is a sort of love-story and pretty amazing, specially the soundtrack makes it great! Although the actual fighting that is showed is not really impressive (it is kind of…
