Second Life kids reach out to Real Life kids.



The Milk n Kookies radio show is helping real life kids for Christmas.

The following from the M -n- K blog:

"In an earlier post, I expressed the challenges of growing up as a poor child during the holidays. This type of emotional stress can really break a kids spirit and I am hoping this year we can help brighten the lives of children. Our goal is to raise enough money to sponsor a poor family this christmas season with gifts and a Christmas dinner. We will be in touch with the South Jersey Foodbank in Egg Harbor Township New Jersey who will be helping us appropriate the donations to the family in need."

I'm a NaNoWrMo



If you've been following Lorimae Undercroft's blog like I have, you would know that she is into this as well. So for the next month I won't be in Second Life as much.
With that said here's the link to the website. It's not too late to participate.

Trick or Treating

I've been Trick or Treating in Second Life.

The first place I've been to was the Dreams sim. Once you get there set your enviroment to midnight.



Trust me you'll love it as you can see.



The second place I trick or treated was the Bare Rose sims.



Look for this display around the main club floor. It's setup as a sci-fi-ish hunt.
It's sooo cool. You get a great outfit.

Happy Rezz Day to me....

I can't belive I'm one year old. A second life rezz day is the same as a birthday.
Even if you use a avie (avatar) that looks 10 years old you still count the days.
This time last year I never thought I'd stay and make it this long. I have an addictive personality. Virtual worlds are an addiction to many people because of the people in them. For me anyways. I've made a lot of friends and seen and did a lot of stuff. Much more than what has been covered so far.

I now have some new avies for the fun of it. I hope to have more neat pics to show soon and some old. I also hope to upload my pics in a Flickr account like so many SLers use including Lorimae Undercroft, Quite Oh and Torly.



What's coming in the next year? I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm ready for it.
I hope you are.

Holy WindLight Batman!!!!

Okay first I did not make it to the 1st Virtual Comic Book Convention. As a big fan of comics I'm kicking myself for not remembering about it.

Second, Burning Life is over now. I do have some photos to show. I'll be uploading them in the days to come.

And lastly, I've updated my veiwer (or whatever it's called) to the new Wind Light deal. Now I'm looking back on Torley Linden's video tutorials about it. Is that all the links? Oh yeah, I forgot about Second Life. There, that should do it for the links.

I'm having to play with the settings till my computer don't groan anymore.

In the meantime I'll post a Loki Eliot movie he did for the Burning Kid night.

Enjoy!!!

Adventure!!!!

Loki boy and his Goonies mates went on anadventure so I thought I'd go on one also.
Back at the Burning Life sims I found a little display of childhood pets.

I got trapped in an giant ant farm.


Went swiming with the fishies.


Akk!!! Don't you hate it when someone walks into your shot! =^><^=
At least I didn't get electracuted or drowned.


At least I kepted busy.


The food here stinks.

SL's Burning Life

These are some pics of friend's places in the Burning Life sims.

NCI staff/teacher and mentor Imnotgoing Sideways has a build here: Toy Box
The build is a giant toy box with scaffolding around it leading to the top.
She also set out table and chairs, a truck and some craters.





Ah, the SLC has setup a small display around Loki Eliot's barn and dragon build.
Remember the haystack I crashed into at his island? Well, this was the result of it.
A dragon in the barn and a child's imagination. Here you will find the dragon as well as a movie, SLC display, a dragon hunt and many more fine child avie events.
Adults and child alike can come around to explore, dance and have fun.







This is Marianne McCann's display. It's a nice playground hangout for those that needs shade from the sun and a fun break from exploring.



I didn't find anyone except Koffeekid Smalls of the Milk -N- Kookies Show. He didn't stay long to sign my autograph.







This is Lorimae Undercroft's display. It looks great with all the artwork and photograph's she's done and taken over the past few months.





She wasn't home so I climbed out of the cupcake and moved on.





Hopefully I'll have the links listed and more stuff to see.
I'd better hurry, Burning Life is only for two weeks and after that this will all be gone.

Burning Life

Burning Life has started in Second Life. What is Burning Life? Here's what the Wiki says about it:

Burning Life was first held in 2003 when the grid was still in its infancy, and this is its 6th year running. Burning Life is the Second Life version of the real life Art, Fire and Community festival known globally as Burning Man. Both Burning Man and Second Life began in San Francisco, California, USA, (on planet Earth). But they have a lot more in common than their birthplace.

And for more information on it: Burning Life Wiki

And here's the blog on it: Burning Life Blog

Met@Morph in Second Life

OMG, there's a comic book convention is Second Life!!!!!!
Okay, maybe it's not so much a convention of the traditional kind.
It's a comic convention of web comics. It's a new format that even the great Stan "The Man" Lee even got into and it's also a new format that the big paper companies such as DC and Marvel both fear and embrace. To one extent, the kinda knew it was coming but in a way feared it. Now we have the internet and soon 3-D environments such as Second Life and others. It's a new media and with that in mind new generations are finding comics on-line as well as in the paper kind.

I think this is a great way to open new doors to traditionalists like myself. I still prefer the paper kind to the online kind because it's more accessible to me.

Here is the web-link to the news piece: You're Invited: Met@Morph in Second Life

And this is where I first found out about it: Met@Morph, the first annual Web Comics Comic-Con and Conference held exclusively in Second Life!

Here's more:

Met@Morph: Second Life Web Comics Comic-Con and Conference

CFP: [General] Second Life Web Comics Comic-Con and Conference



I hope to see you there.

Sokmunkyzilla



OMG, there's a Sokmunyzilla attacking Gemini Enfield's pirate ship at the Whippersnapper Sim. Film at eleven. Boy, I'd hate to see her when she wakes up in the morning. If you’re over at the Whippersnapper sim check out the ship. It's much bigger than my cozy boat. It's all right really. She wasn't going to burn the ship down.

Sunday, September 21, 2008

I'm now sailing.

I bought me a boat and some surf boards to sail and surf.
I snaped some photos before dropping the camera.
Thankfully it didn't go in the water. It's kinda hard to sail and take pics at the same time.









I crashed on the Loki Eliot's Island.
Hmmm.... wonder what he's up to.



And then it was Talk like a Pirate day. For some reason I keep missing it.
He's some photos from a Talk like a Pirate day party.
