Upon returning home from a brief holiday trip, I saw this notecard: 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, [...]

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” [...]

Change is always difficult; I remember how I agonized when my change in RL circumstances forced me to close Oyster Bay and radically downshift my “second life.” Well, it’s gonna happen again. I’m being forced to contemplate a couple tremendous changes in my RL…more on them as I choose to share. Suffice to say [...]

One of the all-time great guys on the Second Life grid, Sunn Thunders, is celebrating his 2nd Rez Day today. You might know him as an accomplished SL sculptor (and one of the earlier Oyster Bay artisans – the first to conduct an Oyster Bay ArtTalk and inspiration for the legendary Oyster Bay Balloon Festival); [...]

I’ll post some photos soon, but my Oyster Bay book arrived in hardbound, slip-jacketed format. 200 pages, around 700 or so pictures, all virtuality, all Oyster Bay. What a wonderful nostalgia piece representing a magical time in the evolution of virtual worlds! I’m not making a dime off of this, so I’ll spare the bashful [...]

Former Oyster Bay manager Isolde Flamand received her copy of the Oyster Bay book this past week. She remarked that it covered a LOT of ground and brought back many, many memories. Comments like that do a guy’s heart good. If UPS is correct, mine should arrive this week. CAN’T WAIT!

I’m selling out today…it’s time to move along. This is GREAT property, with all of the unobstructed waterfront. I’m sure someone’s going to love it. Just had to get a view of one last sunset behind Galaxi’s iconic treehouse at the mouth of the river… posted by Morris Vig on Oyster using a blogHUD : [...]

I’m excited to have finished a project that I’ve been working on since just after Oyster Bay closed – my pictorial history of Oyster Bay. I combed everywhere I could find to chronologically tell the story of Oyster Bay in pictures. There are almost 700 images in this 200-page publication (7″x7″ size, which holds 4 [...]

Continuing the theme of “What’s your SLpurpose?” and sensing ongoing change in my RL circumstances that will likely impact my SL world in unexpected ways…I find myself reflecting more and more on what that means. This whole idea of SLpurpose really hits home with me. My “Reflections on Sacred Space” build probably was a manifestation [...]
