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…

Orangelo – Pop Art
Fridaynight..and after a nice, long nap on the sofa I went to visit Orangelo (M). A colorful sim, filled with art! The texture of the ground is a metal plate, so this gives a completely different look and feel – compared to other ‘SL- lands’! It is a lovely place to wander around and look…
Windlight settings
I almost forgot…but last weekend (where did the week AND another weekend go?) I downloaded and installed the extra windlightsettings in my Viewer 2.6, giving me some more options to play with when taking photo’s in world! (one may have noticed those already on the latest photo’s, it is not all Photoshop what you see!…
Torley Island :)
Torley Linden is probably the most famous Linden in Second Life. He once visited ImperiuM Island and we were so proud! LOL! Torley has, of course, his own sim – Torley Island (M)- where he creates and build…stuff. All of course in the well known watermelon colours: green and pink. I visited his place and…
Look: another Caity!
Having read about Inworldz, my curiosity made me create an account for this virtual world which is supposed to be better than Second Life, and where many who have left SL for various reasons have moved to. Creative as I am, I named my Inworldz avatar: Caity Tobias (heh!). I downloaded the viewer and there…
Mwah!
One of the forumthreads these past days was about ‘lipstick’. Always an interesting topic! In RL I don’t wear lipstick often, but I never leave the house without lipgloss. In Second Life, Caity always has bright red lips, I think since 2 years. I have the fatpack of skins, so I could change the colour…
Wut? Hey…you?
With the introduction of display-names in Viewer 2, people can now change their name into something more suitable to their liking. Caitlin has done this too, her name will show as Caitlin “Caity” Tobias for those who have display-names enabled. People call her Caity, which is fine! Now, last night I was looking at my…
Ultra Violence
Ultra Violence, that is what Ratt calls an evening of total mayhem: fighting with a couple of people for hours and hours and not stopping…when you die, you simply get up and start again..and again. Well that is basically what we (Ratt, George, Karelia and I) did all evening! And it felt good ! W0000t!…
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…
Landscaping in style
This weekend I worked on our sim, getting it all ready for the winter season. It felt good to remove most of the autumn-trees, although I did like them a lot. But it is December so time to let it snow! Of course, one cannot just work with snow in shorts, sandals and tank top!…
Voice Morphing!
Today I went to Voice Island, it’s a tiny (ugly!) piece of land where you can buy the so-called ‘voice morphing packs’. Meaning, when you pay 750 LS for a pack, 5 morphed voices will be added to your ‘speak’ button and your voice will be changed when you speak. For one month that is!…
Re-birth
I remember my first days in Second Life very well. I came to this world as the ‘girl next-door’, wearing jeans, a purple shirt and flip-flops. Oh and the dreadful brown system hair. On my arrival I met all kinds of people, on Help Island, and some girls were wearing lovely polkadot- dresses, which made…
More playing with shadows
although I know some people can be in world and feel bored..I rarely experience that! There is always something to play with or to (re) discover. This morning I was sitting at the seaside in Penghu, and amused myself with taking pictures of Fat and H, who were talking and sitting all sweet on a…
It’s still a shame
I used to be a very loyal and enthusiastic Emerald user, for almost 2 years. Untill LL came with their Viewer 2.0 which I found highly interesting and I loved some of the features (outfits, media on a prim, browser-based and all, oh and did I mention outifits?). As the GUI of Viewer 2.o was…
Shadows, lights and ambient occlusion
One of the features in Kirstens S20, the viewer I use for 6 months now, is the possibility to live in a world with very realistic shadows. I never really took the time to try it out, so this morning I did, being curious! It’s indeed amazing, I had to set the graphics to the…
