Yesterday, the Washington Post ran an article about a Second Life resident who sells Duke University basketball shirts in-world as supplemental income.
From the article:

Artists absorb the world around them. Their environments, that which they can feel and touch and see – and that which they can’t. Sometimes that which they can only dream of. They absorb it and translate it into a language that affects us all in [...]
Thanks to the new added layer coming to the avatars with the SL 2.0 Beta release, Cheap Makeup creator Stella Semaphore has begun releasing makeups designed to go over skins. No more need to buy a skin with a dozen makeup options, unless that’s specifically what you want. Those of us who enjoy adventurous makeup [...]
Following Darkley’s post, I dug up Lonely Bluebird, a developer for the CDS, and threw some rumors I’d been hearing fly around at him for more information… because I was starting to believe the rumors as well.
[15:23] Tenshi Vielle: 1) How does this thing cache who to ban, and is it kept on a server [...]
Jojoruno on Flickr, a Second Life resident from South Korea, is currently involved in a commenting war with several community members for daring to speak up against SL designer Megg Demina’s McQueen “tribute” pieces. I myself was contacted by Megg regarding her pieces earlier this week but have not heard much more, and after seeing the images posted [...]
Well, here I am on my shiny new laptop (Thanks, Hubby!) and I am attempting Second Life 2.0 Beta.
I gotta say, guys – and you won’t be surprised – I am the crotchety old woman on this one. The one who just got a TV with a remote for the first time in her life [...]

You may or may not have already heard about the new Client Detection System by Skills Hax which is supposed to find residents using ‘illegal’ viewers in your store and ban them, therefore eliminating ripping in all its forms!

From the video:
This is not meant to be a “tutorial” with step-by-step instructions on how to go about replicating the design. It’s more like a showcase of just how much work and fiddling goes in to designs. I am a big fan of time lapse videos so [...]
This week I come to you under a fog of Dayquil or Nyquil or both. I think at this point both are working in tandem to keep my fuddled brain or is it brain fuddled? Anyway I managed to climb out of bed and do some shopping. I came across Aoharu’s latest release on the [...]

I had no idea what to blog for today. I decided to blog what I was wearing when I last logged. I went to a rez day party and silks were mentioned as part of the loose dress code. I’ve always loved the silks from Solange. I hopped on over to take a look at [...]
The blogposts of the past week are full of praise for the new “shared media” option introduced in Viewer 2.0 (and surely being retrofitted soon into 3rd party viewers). On the surface, this shiny new functionality adds a lot of benefits which have been discussed at length already. Under the surface, however, this new technology gives everybody the [...]
Launched in beta today, SecondList.org is the free answer to those overblown, horribly pricey Second Life classifieds. The site was developed by Kesseret Steeplechase, using the god-awful Ruby on Rails. But Kess prevailed! And lo, we have a new classifieds area. SecondList will tie in with Metavirtual.us and Shopping Cart Disco, so advertising for clients will [...]
When I discovered the new home creations from NOTsoBAD, I was motivated to compose this set which boasts some of the best exotic designs in SL. The items are inspired by contemporary African, Indian and Moroccan culture and have a simply stunning elegance that is infectiously addictive. Once I began my search for decor items [...]
Second Life• brings with it a lot of joys, as well as a lot of ‘what the fuck’ moments. (In textspeak, that’s WTF moments.) By a lot, what I mean is a full, metric assload.
I’m sure all of you have your own WTF stories and pet peeves. But we’re not here to [...]
Today’s entry will be short, sexy and sweet. With an outfit this awesome one picture says it all. The newest release from Nyte N Day is the Prost Dress and Moitie Jacket. Both come in 6 colors that compliment one another so you can mix and match. The Moitie Jacket has both small and large [...]
Guess what?! It’s Tenshi. You probably haven’t seen me since December. Sorry! But I have a big announcement for all of you: In the continuing effort to make SCD a Second Life Resident megaphone, we have opened registrations for the SCD blog and will allow people to create posts under Wordpress’ Contributor status until [...]
