The Corner of Revolving Time
Found an interesting place called The Corner of Revolving Time. It has furniture, kitchens, beds, plants, decor, houses, and party items among other things. All looks pretty decent too. But you know what the best part is? Everything in the store is free! So if you need a few things check this place out before [...]
Sky Dome – Multi-Textures Sky & Ground
Some interest was shown in the reBourne skybox I mentioned the other day. Since their discount price of $6,250 is still pretty steep for many of us, I thought I’d share a less expensive option from The Dreamer Creations. It’s a Sky Dome 100 x 100 (so yes, you do need to have some space [...]
R.I.P. Ray Manzarek
Founding keyboardist of the Doors Ray Manzarek has passed away today in Germany. The cause according to his publicist was bile duct cancer. He was 74. This is sad news. Our prayers go out to Ray’s family, friends, and fans.
reBourne Multi-Scene Skybox
If you want a home in the sky but aren’t sure what environment you’d like with it, reBourne has released a multi-scene skybox. It contains 111 backgrounds to choose from. It does come with a building but that’s really just a viewing area rather than a home. If you prefer, you can remove that and [...]
In Search of a Home
Hard to believe that I have an entire town in Second Life but no real “home” in the residential sense. Not long ago I was building on one — even had it looking cool enough to invite Paypabak Writer over to watch telly with me. But then disaster struck. Much of the house got ruined [...]
Chat and Crash
Ever just meet a person in Second Life and while you’re in the middle of an interesting conversation your computer decides to crash? That happened to me tonight. Right in the middle of a chat my computer morphed into a blue screen and said it was going to restart due to some “errors”. There was [...]
A Compliment — I Think
While visiting Seren’s blog and having a laugh at her post about being scary, lo and behold I saw myself listed as “officially the scariest person in sl ever.” YEE YAW! I have arrived! (She was just teasing, but I’ll take it as a compliment anyway.)
The Inevitability of Fate
Back in 2010 I mentioned the art landscape Susa Bubble which I found memorable and intriguing. Well, today, I visited another landscape by the same artist, Rose Borchovski. It’s a surreal exhibit called The Inevitability of Fate set in an environment that could have been taken from one of my freakiest dreams. It’s really hard [...]
Linus Makes a Comeback
Linus Radford, aka Randal Prater, was one of my first friends in Second Life (and the only person I knew in first life before second life). Yesterday he invited me to hear him play, and though I don’t usually go to concerts in SL anymore I was pleased to see Linus back at it — [...]
Illinois Nazis
Tonight at Soul Mods the topic turned to politics. While I myself am not keen on political discussions in a club setting (which is supposed to be fun) this was nothing too serious. Most of it was banter, somewhat light hearted and everyone was having a good time — or so I thought. After some [...]

Punk Rock Still Offends People
I was nearly deleted from someone’s Facebook friend list last night because I posted God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols. They said that they were about to delete me for it but God told them not to because He (God) loves me. Thumbs up, God. Thanks for sticking up for me! (Maybe tell [...]
Stargate SG-1
As many of you know I love science fiction, and though there are many sci-fi films and tv shows I enjoy, I’d say Stargate SG-1 (1997 to 2007) ranks in the top five of all time. I loved all the characters. First there was Samantha Carter played by actress Amanda Tapping. Samantha was the brains [...]
The Colours of SL
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m more colour sensitive than most. Often I will like or hate the way a place looks based on one thing: what colour it is. I’m not sure if me having synesthesia is related to my extreme reaction to colour, but the brain is a complicated thing so it [...]
Bitstrips
There’s a new application on Facebook called Bitstrips where you can make “instant comics starring you and your friends.” I first saw it on Divine’s page and she found it from Simon’s page — and I’m not sure where he found it from. It’s entertaining. You create your own avatar for it and can add [...]
EZ-Note Messsage Board
Found a cool message board at Supa Shangs Aquatic Pet Store & Gadgets. It’s on special offer for just 99L. I’ve put one next to the bull in Moonletters Town and already someone has has declared love to their partner, while another person lost a horse. Allow your visitors to post a wide variety of [...]
Bull Winner: Couerdelion1 Resident
Today’s winner for the bull riding contest is Couerdelion1 Resident. Congratulations C! Your prize has been sent. Ride The Bull: Moonletters Town
Classic Paintings Art Gallery Museum
Have I mentioned lately that I love art galleries? Well, I found a great one today. The Classic Paintings Art Gallery Museum. It has three floors filled with art you can lose yourself in. The gallery is tastefully done, and I spent ages there determined to look at every painting. Much of it you can [...]
Brighton Rock Set 10L
Back in April 2011 I wrote about a furniture set by Lisp Bazaar called Brighton Rock. Even though the prim count is higher than what I like, I paid full price for it when it came out. It’s not often one finds good looking retro mod furniture, and named after Brighton too! Well, I’m happy [...]
Firestorm 4.4.0.33720
Firestorm has upgraded its viewer. This is a required update you will need to get if you want to keep up with what Linden Lab has planned with “server side baking.” I’m not a techie so I won’t go into any of that. All you need to know is that if you’re on Firestorm or [...]
Subculture Inworld
Hi gang. I’ve been having technical difficulties with the Second Life Marketplace since they eliminated magic boxes. Even though I’ve tried to follow their new method the site crawls like a turtle for me and doesn’t show the new stuff I’ve sent to it. I would encourage anyone who shops at Subculture to come to [...]
The Malware That Was
This morning I looked at Moonletters only to freak out when I saw hyperlinks all over various words. I knew for sure I didn’t put them there, and at first I thought it might be because I installed some new plugin in WordPress. So I went through all of the plugins to see if deactivating [...]
The Rant That Was
Earlier today I wrote a lengthy rant which, on reflection, I decided not to publish. It had this picture as the header. I was reminded of an article I wrote last year called The Second Letter which explained how I often write something scathing and over the top to start with, to get it out [...]
The Highest Man in SL
BY GUEST WRITER SLATE MCLEOD It’s funny how reading one blog can lead on to reading another. I read one of Shauna’s yesterday, and below it was a link to a related article by Jellie Arrowmint written in 2011. It described her attempt to get to as high an altitude as she possibly could in [...]
Weird Feeling
This may sound unusual, but since I’ve gotten back from my road trip I’ve felt something “weird” is happening in Second Life. I’m not talking about Linden Lab updates or the normal stuff associated with technology, but the human element. It’s a vibe among certain people, an undercurrent . . . . I sense change [...]
How to Wear Two Alpha Layers in Firestorm Viewer
Now that a lot of people wear mesh clothes with an alpha layer that comes with it, a question has arisen about how to wear two alpha layers at the same time. Shoes in particular, be they mesh or prim, often come with alpha layers too — and if you try to wear them with [...]
Marketplace Magic Boxes Phasing Out
If you sell on the Marketplace and are still using Magic Boxes you need to read this. As you already know, about a year ago, we introduced Direct Delivery, a more reliable and faster method to deliver merchandise to your Second Life Marketplace customers. To complete the migration from Magic Boxes to Direct Delivery, we’re [...]
What a Strange Trip It’s Been
Graz started yesterday’s post by saying “This will be a short one from me because I’ve been away on holiday for the past week” but then he went on to write a thought provoking article. (He does stuff like that!) Me? I was on a road trip too, but unlike Graz I came back so [...]
