Alright, I'm not into cars at all, but ...

... this beauty:was really impossible to resist, especially after seeing it in several stages along the way. Found a review from someone who IS into cars as well.

What do you do on a Saturday?

What do you do on a Saturday morning?

Chill on a hill with friends listening to Kourosh :)

What do you do on a Saturday afternoon?

Visit an art opening on Teal Island - a fantastic installation by Sachie Bade called "Henry's Memory"

"a glimpse into the life and work of Henry C. Dyer, reclusive, off-world landscape artist. Dyer lived in the Martian Forest Circle Colonies for thirty nine years until his mysterious disappearance in January of 2051. His sculptures and paintings reflect his singular vision of and longing for an Earth he never knew. "

What do you do with an empty sim, a megaprim, and a couch?

Yeah, that little dark rectangle is the couch.

What do you do with a Saturday evening?

Head to HIPS of course :-) - genial company, pretty surroundings, fantastic music from Grace McDunnough, then Frogg & Jaycatt - the end of a perfect SL day. RL? Oh yeah, I did fit in some grocery shopping and cleaning - what's more fun? ;-)

Keep a lookout - Stalker's back!

Actually, it's StalkerWolf Breed, one of my old favourites when I first started going to Live Music Events. We had a grand time doing a soundcheck at Mocha Fey yesterday morning, and then the stream got passed to Monti who has a new song (something else to watch for); then Mr. Lancaster grabbed it and added the Toby Touch - it was all very very sweet. Dang, I have to remember to take snapshots! To compensate, here's Stalker at "play:"

Pics from Relay for Life in Second Life

On the road after my "homies" met the challenge that made me take my hair off

The list of poignant and beautiful songs that accented why we are all doing this

The team lap - Go Raiders!

The team lap again - no species discrimination here!

The formal lap after the closing ceremony

Along the way - trains in the New Babbage build

Along the way - Hogwarts from above

at the Yacht Club - that's telling it

SL Relay for Life - a Catalyst

Well, Relay for Life's annual event in SL was over yesterday and everyone's talking about how it made history - don't take "everyone"s word for it - have a look at the numbers at the Relay for Life of Second Life website - virtual people (how "unreal" they are is arguable) in a virtual world, generating virtual funds that can be turned into very real money for a very real cause. Pics to come :-)

It is the importance of this event that got me finally started with something meaningful in this blog which I opened just to look at the technology from a user end; my future postings may well remain sketchy.

First Blog Post

Well, it did say “Hello, World” - I’m not a blogger though I have enjoyed reviewing websites in StumbleUpon in the past - which was SU’s original purpose. Finding myself posting more and more Second Life stuff there that wasn’t quite in the spirit of website review, am thinking of giving this a chance - we’ll see how this goes.

Another reason for doing this is to test Adobe Contribute CS3’s blog editing capabilities. This sentence edited with Contribute - seems to be working nicely!

A third reason is to play with the BlogHud that can be used from within SecondLife.
