Reporting live

Live TV

January 27, 2008

Only in a virtual world have I been in a live television studio audience. Gabrielle Riel, the founder of Radio Riel and the Duchess of Carntaigh was on Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe, produced by the SLCN television network.

Miss Beebe’s second guest was Picker Apogee, who played live ragtime guitar.

And the final guest was Miko Omegamu, the curator of the Evolutions Museum, which showcases the early and later work of prominent virtual world designers.

While not yet in Second Life, I got an email telling me that:

The object ‘Einladung zur bizMart Adventsaktion’ in Second Life has offered you inventory.
Log in to accept to decline this inventory.

= Einladung zur bizMart Adventsaktion is owned by Architect Miles

Designed by legendary modern architect Miles Van Der Rohe

Amazing trees

November 6, 2007

Kenroku 59,33,52 - Come to the Kenroku sim and see the amazing creations of brue Noel. I can’t tell if the foliage is sculpties or just tortured regular prims, but there is a lot of depth for only 11 prims per tree (the trunks are sculpties). The garden center has a demo for changing the season of the trees.

Nature of the sky? “Desmond Shang: well I won’t make a snap decision now, but what I’d like, is if anyone has fairly strong feelings on this, PLEASE notecard me. ESPECIALLY those with Duchy sims.”
