Concentricity … 1

Happy November 2009!  Here in deep fall arrives national novel writing month (NaNoWriMo).  /me smiles tentatively.  This was so *not easy* when I first tried this last year.  (Very wonderful talented friend Dale…you utterly amaze, having done this every year for the past decade now?  You utterly amaze in so very many ways.)  On my [...]

Please plan to attend
“Mainly Men” a fashion installation showcasing corporate men’s wear, October 24th, 4 pm SLT, Shengri La sim (107, 115, 1699)
 
Whenever anyone talks fashion inworld, a sentiment that’s nearly universally expressed is the perception that quality men’s wear is a rarity.  I’m not a designer, but friend and seasoned RL and SL fashion designer Shenlei Flasheart is.  Shenlei has shared [...]

Where Have All the Nekos Gone?

Or the Kitsune, the furries, the tinies. 
Just recently, when I saw a Neko walk by in a shop, I was surprised (almost shocked) to see one, and then I realized that my surprise stems from the fact that I haven’t seen a neko or much of any of the hybrids or the other cultures in SL in a [...]

Master Class

The nuances in the title “Master Class” were tailor made for Shenlei Flashheart (Shenlei Winkler in RL):  entrepreneur, innovator, fashion designer, and now an author.  (As a friend and as someone who curates one of Shenlei’s programs, I have to take this moment to say…well, really, to scream:  OMG SHENLEI!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!).
Shenlei is CEO of the RL [...]

More & More Curious-er

 
I have no special talents…I’m only passionately curious.
~ Albert Einstein
 
The effects of which can be…interesting.
Last weekend, SL went through some major bends of sorts brought about by a severe line of FL storms that caused a major power outage in Colorado (least, that’s what I had heard).  And every resident went with the flow as things inworld [...]

Back to the Future

Today’s horoscope (I kid you not) from the area paper:
 
“Darth Vadar from the planet Vulcan will visit you in your sleep.  You must follow his instructions.  Ask the girl to the dance and the space time continuum will be preserved.”
Experiences a sudden urge to find a DeLorean…

Passive Adult Behavior

Meanwhile back on the ranch…
Big Brother in a Sauron Moment espies an Adult deep in the act of passive thought

 And because this particular Eye can’t speak, what the Mouth of Sauron might say from his castle…somewhere…on some quarantined land…say, a continent maybe or something…(oh! specifically from the Sims2!)…

Then there’s this little jump to the left or to [...]

Moving Heaven and Earth

In SL, it seems we can touch the sky. 
While flying about and practicing inworld photography, I stumbled across what many talented photographers already know of and use expertly.  No, not photoshop…although that’s another one that I’d like to learn one of these days.  I’m talking about that little earth shattering/sky shattering (and apparently clock shattering) tool, the [...]

44 … BARACK ON!

 
Um…like…wow.   Powerful photo, meaning.  Powerful moment and speech.  Powerful challenges…for all of us, together with him too, because, man, we’ve got a mountain to climb. 
Love his realism, clarity, courage, and ability to dream.  Return to eternal values.  Thank you, 44.  Barack On!
 (And he’s on Flickr, too, waiting to be friended.  Methinks that’s not a problem for [...]
