Quote o’ the Day

Much of atomic-world culture is based on the notion that suffering is good and necessary, that life properly consists of doing something pointless and/or wretched for most of one’s life in order to have a few hours of pleasure every week. This is a stupid and evil notion.
That’s the very wise Soph.
It may [...]

Wedding, yay!

A few weeks ago, v good faerie friend Adri sent me an invitation to her wedding to other nice friend Sin, and I said “I can’t remember something that’s all the way at the end of June!”, and she said she’d remind me and on like Thursday she reminded me, and then on Friday I [...]

Ducking in for a sail

So as previously announced, this week is being RL-crazy and I haven’t been able to spend my usual few hours a day inworld. On the other hand it turns out that SL is very nice in an entirely different mode, consisting of slipping in between crazinesses and just sort of exploring and bumming around.
I [...]

Do I *have* to like podcasts an’ videos an’ all?

A rant! Curmudgeon mode on! Whiners engaged! :)
Do I have to like podcasts an’ videos an’ all? ’cause, well, I don’t.
People…. talk…. really…. really… slowly.
Not only that, but listening to a voice means either disturbing the people around me (and there usually are people around me), or finding [...]

Indolence logo

In the interest of putting all sorts of content all over the place, here is the logo of the pretend dance-club Indolence, as pictured in a recent weblog entry:

The logo is John White Alexander’s “Repose”, plus about ten minutes in PhotoShop. :) As usual click through to flickr for more context.
As well as [...]

My probability density

Due to Stuff going on in RL (not bad stuff, just Stuff) over the next few days, I may (or may not, but I’m mentioning it just in case) be less visible in the digital words (RL, Twitter, weblogs, etc) between oh say today and oh say July 1st. Just so y’ know… :)

Indolence

Another build that I’m extremely fond of is Indolence, a dance club that I built once just because I’d never really built a conventional structure before, and I (hem hem) had significant experience with dance clubs. Here’s a not really very good shot of it (the only thing I’ve ever posted to Snapzilla) from some [...]

The floating rocks (tx to Roger Dean)

One easy thing to stick in a weblog is like pictures an’ stuff of my various builds. Here’s the Floating Rocks build:

It’s Roger Dean inspired, clearly; click through to the Flickr page for details.

It’s also right above my park (see previous posting). I was down in the park the other day and noticed [...]

It’s Second Life’s Fifth Birthday!

And I’m paying basically no attention to it. I’m not sure why I’m generally so uninterested in highly advertised Big Events, but I certainly seem to be (I barely got to any of the NPIRL Gardens at all, for instance, and I vaguely noticed that they’re being taken away today or tomorrow or something).
I [...]

The Park at Hughes Rise

Here is a picture that I put up on Flickr. It’s set in Second Life! Whoa.
That’s boy-me, sitting in my then-new (still new, really) park in Hughes Rise. Click through to the Flickr page for details.

First WordPress Post Ever

Thought it was about time I actually played with some of these hosted weblogging things, after so many years of writing HTML in a text editor and uploading via FTP. Woot!
