After some nice days in the UK I got back in Holland tonight. And when logging in: a viewer update to 2.8. Am fiddling now with the new profile and the feeds, it’s like having a twitter in your inworldprofile, exciting! Also, the environmental settings are different I noticed! Will go play with the new…

My Sunday afternoon
Since it kept raining and raining all weekend….I spent most of my Sunday afternoon getting the laundry done and even started packing for my upcoming travel. Usually I pack my suitcase just before I leave to the office, but oh well…maybe it’s nice to have it all ready for a change? Although I now fear…
Second Life Railroad – Do the locomotion
Last night Ratt and I tried to spar some, but were obviously both not in the right mood. We needed to get out a bit, so I showed him my new home on the mainland and when we went for a walk on the Linden Road we discovered Spangle Station, really nearby my house! Spangle…
Red Desert
I almost forgot I have a horse in my inventory…I just stumbled across him when cleaning up some folders and suddenly felt the urge to go for a ride! A while ago I discovered a sim called Red Desert – horse country, so I saddled up Ghost and went out! This place is a red…
Anna’s Many Murders – by Bryn Oh
Anna’s Many Murders (G) is a typical Bryn Oh work; lovely and amazing. Mysterious and wonderfully detailed! Upon arrival you get offered a notecard with preferred windlightsetting, for the complete experience. I took the time, about 5 minutes, to set this up and then went off exploring. It’s the story of Anna…but hey…..go there yourself…
World’s End Garden
World’s End Garden ~Noir et Blanc is an art installation, and even though it is under construction for some parts, it is still amazing! You land in a black environment with white waves, in the distance you see a shiny garden! The waves are rolling under your feet, a strange experience!
Grand Canyon
In real life I have never been to the Grand Canyon, but it is on my wishlist! Luckily there is Second Life and I was happy to find out you can visit the Grand Canyon in virtuality! It is a great place for photo shoots, specially when you play a bit with different skies and…
Magnolioideae Palace – Anarchy Island
The magnificent Magnolioideae Palace (what’s in a name, this is not easy to type!) on Anarchy Island is absolutely one of the most amazing palaces I have seen in Second Life! On the landing point, in front of the huge palace, cars and motorcycles are parked – as if there is a fancy ball going…
Town of Button
Oh la-la! I ‘discovered’ this lovely cartoon-sim! Colourful and so unlike many of the other places you see! Town of Button is a cartoon-world, not realistic at all – including the texture they used for the ground – and filled with huge flowers, donuts to sit on (next to a cartoon-fire) and some shops where…
Farstar New Earth: Parallel Worlds
The Parallel Worlds on Farstar New Earth (G) are simply: breathtaking! On landing point (you enter the sim on ground level) you need to take the teleporter to the Parallel Worlds, to find yourself high in the sky in a surreal build of spheres, where you find the most absurd and magical environments. Fantasy creatures…
Elonia
This weekend I took a trip to weird place: Elonia. To be honest, I am not sure what the aim of this place is..if there is any, but I just liked it a lot. What exactly? I would say the odd style, fantasy-like building, the statues that are alien-like..the colors and the strangest furniture I…
Valhal
Thanks to my travels in Second Life, I am (almost) never bored in quiet weekends as this! Most of my SL friends are offline in the weekends, to spend time in this thing called Real Life. Me? I don’t have much going on in there, so I click the teleport-button and fly around in cyberspace…
Solidea Folies & Salimar
I am not really sure if the creators/builders that made Salimar intended to give it that mediterranean feel it gave me, but if they did: very well done! It reminded me a bit of a little town in the south of France, Provence du Var, called Fayence where I have spent some wonderful summer holidays…
‘And whether pigs have wings…’
Ha. Odd title for a post, eh? It is a sentence from one of my favourite poems by Lewis Carroll – The Walrus and the Carpenter (from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872). How did I come to that? Well…I was flying and teleporting around and discovered a sim (Dysphoria) dedicated to…
