First Impressions of Sims

I’ve been doing a heck of a lot of sim-hopping lately – visiting about fifteen new places a day. And I’ve noticed something: A very large number of people put little effort into first impressions. They’ll do a write-up for their sim, they try to sell it’s appeal and the items available there, they spend [...]

The funny side of borked SL ^^

Everyone in SL tonight had such a huge array of issues that it was pretty much all people were talking about. It was so bad, it was funny. I’m going to share some of the funnies with you, all taken from the same group chat (names have been changed to protect the funny people). You’ll [...]

No Payment Info On File; Controversy and Difficulties

You may be aware that people can set their islands to only allow access to people with payment info on file. A friend told me about this a while ago and after a bit of thought I decided it was time to give Linden Labs my credit card details so I had payment info on [...]

The Magic in the Cards

Art has all sorts of inspirations – music, emotions, people, scenery – there is no limit to what might inspire you to do that next masterpiece. I often state who or what has inspired my Second Life art. One of the lesser known inspirations for my art comes from a passion my husband has – [...]

Lucky Chairing

I’m writing this while flicking back and forth from a store which has four lucky chairs, each set to re-choose a letter every 20 or 30 minutes. And I am neck-deep in the complexities of Lucky Chair thoughts. I’m not kidding, this stuff is full of politics, politeness and preferences.

Meet the new boss… same as the old boss

My American Second Life friends are very proud of their Obama. You know what the rest of us think? We’re bored already: The rhetoric is the same, he’s even referring to God in his speeches (ever heard of separating church and state, plus aren’t you guys meant to be anti religious-warfare / terrorism..?), I cannot [...]

Keeping up with Second Life news

Most Second Life residents don’t know what’s going on at Linden Labs – the changing personalities, policies and major decisions – and most simply don’t care either. They live their daily Second lives the same way most people live their real lives – equally ambivalent and uncaring about the politics that run their world, and [...]

Real Life Laundry

Yes. I’m going to share a piece of my real life with you. The story of my laundry.
My husband and I often argue about the chores, today it came down to this brilliant piece of reasoning as we tried to figure out who had been more helpful today. It’s almost worthy of Second Life banter…
Husband: [...]
