What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
Here we are again with just a little relaxing avatar styling session, with no particular hook to tie in a subject with anything I'm wearing. Sometime you just gotta go random. Picture it: July 2025, it's finally hot in Stockholm and the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Meanwhile I'm zoning out with... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 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...

It's a cliché that gay men aren't any good at sports and that fat kids always get picked last to join a team for games that require physical fitness. As mother nature, or whomever doles out these characteristics, saw fit to hit me with a double whammy (i.e. make me the fat gay kid), it... Continue Reading →

I've heard it in the chillest land,And on the strangest sea;Yet, never, in extremity,It... Continue Reading →
Whenever I feel depleted but still want to do something in Second Life™, I find it rather relaxing to update one of the shapes in my Marketplace store. There's something about making those little tweaks with the shape sliders that helps with forgetting one's Real Life issues for a moment. Oh, and it's a good... Continue Reading →
While I haven't turned my tiny Second Life™ habitat into a mini winter wonderland just yet, in real life the weather gods have been rather enthusiastic with the white powdery stuff, as if Stockholm is some kind of flawed cake they're desperately trying to cover up. It's been kinda nice the past couple of days,... Continue Reading →
One of my little projects in Second Life™ (oh I do love a little project!) is to update my shapes to include versions for various mesh bodies. I used to make shapes for specific mesh body and head combinations, but I thought it would be nice to include versions that have been tweaked slightly for... Continue Reading →
Those of you familiar with Seconde Life's premier game creator Madpea, knows that they regularly treat us with a grid wide hunt. It all started with that most traditional of hunts, the Easter Egg hunt in the year whatever. It goes without saying that Halloween easily is the second most fitting season for another one...
