What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
At last it has arrived, that one night of the year you can truly get the most out of that bewildering Halloween folder in your Second Lifeā¢ inventory. Who am I kidding, right? The vast majority of you have been doing that for most of the month already and a sizeable percentage of that group... Continue Reading →
The phrase "better angels of our nature" was popularised by President Abraham Lincoln, though apparently he didn't coin it. Nevertheless, it probably is one of the stronger thought provoking expressions used in an inauguration address. Sadly, as strong as that speech may have been, it did not stop the civil war. One can only wonder,... Continue Reading →
I ain't gonna lie, I have mixed feelings about the whole PBR materials thing. For those of you who haven't been in Seconde Lifeā¢ in a while, PBR stands for āPhysically Based Renderingā and bringing PBR to Second Life means updating the basic calculations of how light is represented and interacts with our favourite virtual...

The sexy new Noche shorts I got for my previous blog post definitely needed another airing. As one can very easily wear such a skimpy garment on the beach, I decided it was already time for another session of virtual beach therapy. OK, as far as therapy goes, maybe it's not that effective, but it... Continue Reading →

For this episode of the Virtual Beach Therapy I pulled out the trusty old destination guide and after some perusing of the Nature & Beaches options, I landed at Island France Pittoresque. Island France Pittoresque is an archipelago bathed in warm light with sun kissed beaches and small islets, perfect for relaxation and meditation or... Continue Reading →
My previous post was about updating one of my shapes with a new skin suggestion, after the creator of the skin that I previously used for that shape had closed their store in Second Lifeā¢. I paused for a second as I updated the version of that shape with the Signature Gianni body, realising that... Continue Reading →
Just as in real life, people come and go in Second Lifeā¢ (says the man who's been with his current employer since 1999). The Clef De Peau creator fell out of love with SL and went looking for alternative creative outlets and closed down their store. That leaves me with a couple of shapes that... Continue Reading →
So maybe I should have raised this topic on Wednesday, rather than on a Thursday evening, or whatever time of day it is when you're reading this. Hey, that's right! You could be reading this on a Wednesday! So who cares, let's talk about humps. Throwback to 2017, when the only pair of speedos I... Continue Reading →
Sure, sure, Pride month is over, but you'll find that plenty of cities in countries all over the world celebrate their LGBTQA+ Pride during designated weeks throughout the summer months. In my current hometown, Stockholm, it kicks off in the first week of August. Meanwhile we can all sneak those little subtle rainbow details into... Continue Reading →
