An unexpected thing happened this holiday season…I was DELUGED with Christmas gifts and cards! It’s an overwhelming feeling have a handful of gifts waiting for you EVERY TIME you log in. Having been as detached from the SL scene as I’ve been (or at least felt I’ve been), these demonstrations of friendship hit [...]

Juria Yoshikawa assembled a slideshow retrospective on his works over 2007 and 2008. Not only was Juria quite prolific over that period but the works themselves were really spectacular. Enjoy!

That’s what AmyFreeLunch is suggesting:

…
If SL has anything resembling a cultural history (and I believe it does, and the need to preserve its history will become more and more [...]

And, if I may, this book is downright stunning. The Oyster Bay book is a great historical tome, with over 700 SL photos across the 200 pages, but the Bay City Visions book is about the art…not photojournalism.
Blurb does an amazing job transferring the very high resolution SL images onto the printed page. The book [...]

For the new year, Mark and I have made a few resolutions and will be starting anew on several levels including SL. Unfortunately, this extends to Manzi which we will begin tearing down immediately. If you have the opportunity to collect your items, please [...]

Rummaging through my old machinima footage, I saw that I recorded Madcow Cosmos’ incredible Christmas tree at Oyster Bay (links here and here). A little video editing later, and we have my Christmas gift to you! It’s not the greatest footage ever shot, but hopefully it brings back warm memories.
Note the Viggy “Christmas card” on [...]
