Second Life's #1 Fashion and Gossip Rag
My last blog post about the FilterCam HUD and the new expansion pack update was a little lackluster in the photos. So while messing around trying on mesh on my chubby avatar I decided to take some photos. I have no idea why but for some reason I cannot say the word ‘draw’ on open [...]
What more can you ask for? I had never used FilterCam2 before the other day. I had purchased FilterCam for friends as gifts but never thought to get it for myself, mostly because I am horrible at photography in Second Life (and lets face it Real Life too!). But Codie, of Mechanized Life, asked me [...]
Okay, so you know those shoes you have that you can resize in a single click? Apparently, the script that does this has to multiply itself per prim that’s being resized… so your 255 prim hair with the resizer script has 255 scripts in it. “WHOA, OMG! NO WONDER I’M LAGGING.” As my friend says, [...]
Hawaii Five-O’s classic closer, as McGarrett tells his trusty sidekick to take the bad guys away, just wouldn’t be the same as “Notecard’em, Danno!†Similarly, while a lot of good information can be sent around effectively using a notecard, it’s just not the same as a book.

No. It’s an ornithopter (from ornithos “bird†and pteron “wing:), an aircraft that flies by flapping it’s wings. Ever since I read Dune by Frank Herbert I’ve wanted an ornithopter.

I learned to read combing through my Mom’s anatomy texts. There were these cool pages of clear illustrated plastic. You turned the pages to go from skin to muscle to organs to bone. Mesmerizing. I learned then that every part of the body was useless without all the other bits. It was a system, a [...]
… than our view of it (Henry Thoreau). Welcome to the many universes of life online. There is Second Life, Plurk, Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia, Twitter, Digg, Facebook, and so much more. How does this apply to gadgets? Well, let’s examine the wider reality of “everything else online.†Since Steller Sunshine joined SL in 2002 the [...]
… of subscription kiosks. What did you think I meant? Everyone, from retail store owners to the club operators, service providers to magazine publishers live and die because they have customers. Not buy once customers. Repeat customers. I need to upgrade my subscription kiosks – the one I have is too time consuming and error [...]
Imagine a screwdriver that never strips the screw, doesn’t wear its tip into iron filings, doesn’t bend or slip in your hand and always gets the job done. Great tools are the ones you use all the time and they never let you down – so practically perfect they make the work fun just ‘cause [...]
… “SCDâ€. I love Bond movies. Fleming isn’t literature but I like meals and movies with cheese. Isn’t Q terrific, showing off an invisible swimming car with laser beams while muttering “”Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws?” OK. I’m not Q and you’re [...]
