2012/09/03 Written by Second Life

In the bad, old sooty days before methane or carbon monoxide detectors, miners would carry down caged canaries into the dark tunnels with them. If dangerous gases leaked into the mine-shaft, the gases would kill the canary before killing the miners. I’m beginning to believe that Hosoi Ichiba might just be our canary in a coalmine. [...]

I Wore a Mesh Dress & I Liked It

2012/02/18 Written by Fashion

AMATEURS The beauty of a “building” oriented virtual world is that anyone can, with moderate ease, make anything. It’s not hard to take an image or slogan you like and have your avatar [...]

I live on the balcony of a lighthouse I built, originally, in Second Life. In a world where climate is an aesthetic choice, not a natural condition that can oppress or kill you, I just don’t see a reason to live with a roof over your head. I love convertible cars in the physical world; [...]

I Have Many Worlds

2011/02/05 Written by OS Grid

A few aspects of Virtual Worlds (building/creative types, rather than game types) different from a certain famous VW: • Lower Traffic • Higher Creative Freedom • Less DMCA griefing • Megaprims • Lower lag, yet worse performance In anticipation of our upcoming performance VB24 – Multiverse, which is slated to have 3 houses simultaneously occupied [...]
