Contributing to global climate change since 1965, Allen believes that you have a Constitutional right to his opinion. The blogs and forums related to Second Life’s most recent announcement about pricing increases on Openspace Sims has a lot of people threatening to leave SL for good. Call me cynical (please!) but I rather doubt people are going to leave that Metaverse anytime soon. Their protestations remind me of people who threaten to leave [...]
Warning: this post might be of limited interest to my “regular” audience.
What a strange couple of days these have been for Linden Lab, the owners of Second Life™, and for its residents. Yesterday we were told that the price for so-called Openspace land would be increased after January 1, 2009. Don’t know what Openspace land [...]
I saw this story (because I’ve told Google Reader to look for stuff like this) earlier today. The summary is that a woman “killed” her virtual husband when he virtually divorced her in the game. Essentially she “hacked” into the system (with the tried and true “username and password” method) and deleted or otherwise disabled [...]
Just had a Nutrigrain bar and I feel… well, watch the video.
I’m pretty sure this actually happened to me at my last job… on my way out the door.
Except right now I’m getting “server too busy.” How am I gonna rawk that woot-off when I can’t even woot that dot woot?
I mean, woot the woot? Woot woot woot woot, woot woot woot woot. Woot!
UPDATE: Woot-off is over. They’ve got the “screaming monkey with woot” up now.
This video is hilarious. Yes, they’re poking a little fun at the “elderly” here but the message I took away was that the publicly available information on converting an old TV for DTV transmissions is confusing. The bleeding edge technophiles (I’ll include myself in that category) have already embraced this stuff while the less technical [...]
I’m sure this is of little to no importance to most of my readers but I’m just a-burstin’ with flavor over the bug fixes and enhancements (and bug fixes to the enhancements) in the latest SL viewer.
My faves:
Changed: VWR-6328: Request for “Tools” menu to not auto-hide anymore
Changed: VWR-4541: Move the Release Keys button to the [...]
This is amusing. Some time ago (perhaps as long ago as yesterday), my “Vista-enhanced” desktop machine took a dump on itself. I rarely have a problem but once in a while stuff happens. This morning I was greeted with a “problem report” report that suggested that the crash might have been caused by “Microsoft Windows [...]
Star Wars as performed with cardboard spaceships. Sweet. I especially like the soundtrack.

This is just upsetting. Earlier this morning, “allisa - horny sexy girl for sex”* left me a message containing one solitary emoticon indicating her sadness. What was she sad about? It is difficult to tell from her picture but my guess is that she’s distraught because she has no face… or ears, or hair. I [...]
