With the new blog design, I thought a white-background, black text masthead would fit in well. But a splash of color was needed. Scanning through the inventory, I came across one of PleaseWakeMeUp Idler’s “liminal” series – the “Sunrise”. This combination of “time-lapse” SL photography shows just that, a sunrise over time. It’s a great [...]

When you have the largest private collection of SL art, you can do themed art exhibits of incredible quality. Case in point, Tayzia Abbatoir’s latest collection of sculpture art: “Dragons” by Sabine Stonebender, Red Levitt (who used to display at Oyster Bay, but I believe now has left SL indefinitely), Starax Statosky and Daryth Kennedy. [...]

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. I switched the blog format to a 3-column look. I also am tweaking the stylesheet to make the blog look just right. Bear with me while it’s under (re-) construction!

For those who have not heard MoShang Zhao‘s “dance music for grownups,” here’s a machinima of the Sound Jeweler’s recent live show in the Australian Terra Incognita sim. For a slightly better video quality, try this link. It’s one of the best “live music” machinimas that I’ve seen. We don’t have MoShang on the upcoming [...]

Rezago Kokorin tells us that The Abyss is going to return…and that he and Sunn Thunders have some impressive plans for their undersea exploration/education build. The photos (linked above and, for some of Sunn’s “postcards,” here) from the work in progress are VERY encouraging – some great stuff happening!

So I’m sitting here in a hotel room in Southern California, supposedly on vacation but having worked pretty much non-stop since I got here (web email is both a blessing and a curse). And then, probably in part thanks to the crappy air quality from the smog combined with the smoke from the many wildfires, [...]

One of SL’s truly great kinetic sculptors (and collaborator with Sunn Thunders on The Abyss) celebrates another trip around the sun….errr….grid today. While I sadly couldn’t locate a SL snapshot of Rez on short notice, I DID find these examples of his SL sculpture art…so enjoy that, and wish him the best!

Yup – Second Arts hit that milestone yesterday. Candidly, the Lauk’s Nest issue took off and readership on the blog has been substantially up since that point. Thanks to all who read this humble little blog – I hope you find it worth your time!
