Professional Courtesy

I don’t know if it’s really true that “every 3rd person in Second Life is a DJ,” according to one wag I read recently. Still, there are plenty of decent DJs out there, and Lexx and I ran across one quite by chance this evening.
StormShadow Maertens DJs for three different clubs; his home club [...]

Symbolic of Wretched Excess, Or Something

The image I have linked here is Lexx’s wedding invitation. Yes, THAT thing that towers over my avatar, included here for scale. The object is 102 prims, the artwork inside uses sculpty prims, and, when clicked, it not only hands you a landmark, it plays Peter Cetera’s “The Glory of Love.” The [...]

Happy Rezday, Danielle!

A year ago today, Danielle first ventured into Second Life. And thus began her quest for total Grid domination.
Ever since I’ve known Danielle, she’s been a real pleasure for me to know. I’ve seen her evolve from her initial, whitebread-redhead look to her present style, which is both true to [...]

Odd Lots

I’m taking a breather from campaign-related posts for a minute to just talk about a couple of things on my mind.
First of all, congratulations to Chelle and Danielle for scoring a couple of the DJ slots at the Second Life Community Convention.  I don’t know whether these will be RL performances, SL performances, or both, [...]

Throwing My Hat In The Ring

My fellow Residents, in accordance with applicable SL Election Campaign law, I am proud to declare my candidacy for Governor of Second Life in 2007. As your Governor, I will work to repair the blemishes to SL’s reputation that have been left by the previous Administration, and make this a Grid we can all [...]

My People Will Call Your People, We’ll Do Lunch

Did I think I was going to be any less busy after we moved the Gin Rummy to Club Fairplay sim? I was sorely mistaken.
For one thing, our usual event schedule continues unabated. This means I’m often looking over the Event Calendar on the intranet site, editing event descriptions and assigning [...]

Passage of Time

Last night, a few comments from Danielle (as we engaged in some slow dancing at the family compound) caused me to take a look through my Calling Cards folder at some of the profiles of people in there, many of which I hadn’t seen or spoken to in awhile.  Perhaps Tateru’s post on Second Life [...]

A Fighting Avatar

I was fortunate enough to encounter AllieKat Stovall in-world last night. It was very good to see her. She’s a longtime friend, and someone I used to go dancing with a lot; she was my most-recent steady dance partner prior to Danielle, in fact.
For those that don’t know, Allie is a Lieutenant Commander [...]

And the Blogroll Goes Marching On

For a long time, Mera had an entry in her blogroll for Jacek Antonelli that was just “http:///” (obviously, not a valid URL). I’d look at that and wonder when Jacek was going to get his own blog. Well, now he has, and, following the lead of Alexander Lapointe, I’ve added him to [...]

Change Changing Places, Root Yourself To The Ground

Since the wedding, things have reorganized and changed a lot in my Second Life. I’ll try to summarize.
First, I am now pretty much out of the Spira Enterprises project. Val is teaming up with Mamba and Zoey to run the Cutlass Club, and I’m staying in as “silent partner” and ex officio adviser…but [...]
