Sure, you've got a lot of movies and whatnot depicting Santa's elves as funny little creatures with no particular sex appeal except perhaps for those with a rather niche kink. In Sweden we have nisse, which are more like little gnomes and I wouldn't call them sexy either. There is of course also the highly... Continue Reading →
Dysfunctional December
I started the Christmas month this past Sunday by rolling out of my bed and slumping down on the sofa, landing straight into the start of Last Christmas that just happened to be on "old school" TV. With all those streaming services at our fingertips, it's refreshing to just watch what happens to be on... Continue Reading →
Simple Pleasures
As far as I'm aware, this blog doesn't have much of a following, so it's only the rarest of regular reader who may have noticed that the regularity of my blog posts has greatly diminished since the beginning of 2023 and even more so over the course of this past year. Second Life™ is one... Continue Reading →
Trick or Treat
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 Life™ 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 Better Angels Of Our Nature
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 →
Some Cropdates and a Jock
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 Life™ in a while, PBR stands for “Physically Based Rendering” and bringing PBR to Second Life means updating the basic calculations of how light is represented and interacts with our favourite virtual...

Putting the “short” into shorts – Episode 8
Shorts can never be too short and one can never have too many short shorts! OK, that creed may not hold up equally well in real life as it does in Second Life™. I might be wrong, but I have this idea that somehow a guy with his ass cheeks hanging out, no matter how... Continue Reading →
A Gianni Day
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 Life™. I paused for a second as I updated the version of that shape with the Signature Gianni body, realising that... Continue Reading →
When Clef De Peau is no more
Just as in real life, people come and go in Second Life™ (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 →
We’re way past hump day…
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 →
