It’s only 24 hours. All posts will syndicate as scheduled but the site will be redirected on January 18th, 2012. Redirection will stop on Jan 19, 2012.

Top Ten of SCD in 2011

scdtop102011

Usually Iris does the top 10 post. This is the post where she tallies up the top 10 posts for the years and top views and visits. It’s delayed because I am doing it. Sorry about that! However, it’s pretty interesting who was our favorite author in the year 2011! I also noticed a little [...]

Interesting Addendum to Epilepsy Charity Drama.

lol

I normally would just add this information to Gidge’s original SCD post but this information was just too interesting to not have it’s own post. Recall the apology note in the original post. For reference here it is: (you should be able to click on this to read it better…) I specifically want to point [...]

2012 Kicks Off With Charity Drama. Who Knew?

I hardly even know where to start with all this as there are about 20 screenshots and links floating around right now sharing this information. For the purposes of simply being straightforward I’m going to  share this information as it floated across my world yesterday, and let all of you readers draw your own conclusions. [...]

SO♥LD in SL: Our Favorites from 2011

Salvatore and I spent most of 2011 taking lots and lots of pics together.  I wanted to take a moment, reflect and chose our favorite pics of 2011. I found it interesting that our favorites weren’t necessarily our most viewed pics on flickr. Sal’s Favorites Lourdes’ Favorites

Second Life Events Calendar

SL Events Calendar

There was a need for a simple calendar where shoppers could see what is coming up and going on and for event organizers to check when there would be dates open for them to plan their events. So the Second Life Events Calendar was created. The rules are very simple, the calendar is to be [...]

One of the things I often wonder is why the rules of composition work the way they do. For example, why are diagonal lines more compelling than straight ones? Why are triangles more appealing than circles and squares? Luckily for me, my best friend teaches Neurobiology and Sensory Physiology and she had an explanation at [...]

Did you know that they can map your brain’s reaction to works of art? They have been doing it for some time, actually, trying to quantify and analyze aesthetic pleasure. Sadly, this sort of research is the kind that probably will enable ad agencies to make more effective commercials. Oxford University published some interesting research [...]

Credentials are essentially meaningless when it comes to art. The best art education in the world can teach technique and theory, but cannot give one something to say, cannot teach vision or point of view. It’s the inner spark and willingness to expose and risk oneself that makes an artist great. Consider Jean Michel Basquiat, [...]
