An Engine Fit For My Proceeding
I felt that I should write a final entry here to clarify recent events and the current situation. What have you done? I have removed every building and item of mine from the Grid, most notably, Caledon and New Babbage. (At least, I think I have; there may be a few bits...
Avatars Unite! As many times as is desired!
The purchase of a site known as "Avatars United" was recently announced by Linden Lab as... well, I am not precisely sure quite what the point was but it was a Great Thing nonetheless. Apparently the aim was to make sure that people with existing identities on the Grid, and...
A Useful Script - "Mass Distribution by List of Names in a Notecard"
I recently had cause to distribute a number of items to a large number of people, whose names I was in possession of a list of, but not, of course, their keys. The appalling lack of a useful llName2Key function unfortunately makes it a little challenging to send things out, but...
A piece of Christmas Arboreal Scripting
Seeing as how it is the Season Of Trees And Such, I thought that I would post a piece of Code, as an example of Particle Scripting. The Ordinal Christmas Particle Tree This script illustrates two main points: Particles can last for quite a long time. In this case, the "branches" last for...
I thought that I might offer a few thoughts regarding Mr Jack Linden's announcement of the latest fabulous Laboratory Movement - that of "Linden Homes". Once upon a time we offered affordable parcels of land to Premium members — a program we called 'First Land'. The First Land program...
Mercantile Insanity, a Longer Version
I have found it a little challenging to marshall all of the points I would like to make regarding the recent Xstreet Outrage in time to make a Journal Entry that remains relevant, but that is one of the challenges of Journalism really, that and coping with acute liver complaints...

The Alphaville Herald
It Has To Be Said: Internet Lawyers
In the United States, there are a few states left where you don’t have to go to law school in order to be an attorney. In California, with some restrictions, you can be a lawyer over the internet. Some states allow someone to "read the law" or simply work with...
LadyDeath Rockswood the Club Manager
by Meleth Oakleaf I wandered into the familiar stone hallway of a dear friend’s club. I was again struck by the tall ceilings and strong architectural features of the club. Unlike many of the clubs I’ve visited, there is no eye blinding laser show, dim lighting nor the typical barrage...
Linden Lab Censors Critic of JLU Gang Leader
Henry Darkthief alerted the Herald to a troubling pattern of selective censorship on the official Second Life blog that attempts to silence critics of well known vigilante gang leader Kalel Venkman. In a thread discussing greifers and stalkers Mr. Darkthief responded to Justice League Unlimited leader Kalel Venkman’s advice that...
It Has To Be Said: Second Life (R) Isn’t Addicting
As I have previously stated, I went to grocery bagger school in the Philadelphia area. (I must be a grocery bagger, I read it on the Internet.) And one of the funny things about Philadelphia, besides that the best cheese steaks are neither Pat’s nor Geno’s, is that the rest...
Pathfinder Linden’s Lab Position Poofs

The unfortunate news was made public in a post to the Second Life Educators mailing list, continuing a pattern staff turnover as game emperor M Linden’s...

It has been about two weeks since Sindee’s consciousness has been ripped from Salvatore in a move that Nova helped achieve with a promise of a new host for her. The new host is a cyber genetic body capable of being possessed by one such as Sindee as well as performing other tasks including shape shifting. It...
Dateline: October 16, 2039 Lately, Sindee had been getting more absorbed into her Japanese past. She was starting to mix more Japanese with her English and her latest morph had turned her into a petite Japanese woman. This was worrying to her Brood family as the events in the last few...
I am sad to report that Role Magazine will be closing after it’s November issue is published. I have been a staff writer for them since the July issue and have grown fond of what was my first paid writing assignment in Second Life. Though my time with them was...

Virtual Neko in Second Life
Second Life, cosplay, or anime? Sammy the female android with Rikuo her human in the anime Time of Eve ©2009/2010 Yasuhiro YOSHIURA / DIRECTIONS, Inc. Pardon my cosplay, but an intriguing anime called Time of Eve has arrested my imagination and prompted me to explore an alternate perspective — namely, how...
A Virtual Neko Letter to Santa
Psst… click here to find out Santa’s little secret, and the details on my adorable Christmas outfit (suitable not only for Neko kids and festive Neko adults, but it even looks good on you humans). Just don’t tell Santa I spilled the beans, k…? http://virtualneko.com =^..^= ...
Kawaii Neko or Grunge Neko? If you’re like most humans I’ve met in Second Life, seeing a Neko all dressed up in pink and surrounded by cuteness may seem a bit… odd. After all, we Neko are all about grunge, right? Torn shirts, ratty jeans, skulls, barbed wire and piercings…...
Virtual Neko Store Alert: + grasp +
In between Neko fashion and short stories, Bobby thought it might be nice to do an occasional, brief post about a store I’ve recently discovered and/or enjoy. Lo and behold, as I was updating my slurl for the Sweetaholic kimono shop today, I noticed the designer had opened up a...

Use cases for AR in media are promising, but mind the gap between the physical and the digital
One of the joys of running a blog is that people react and learn you new things. In my previous posts about augmented reality, more specifically Augmented reality as a future horizon for new media, I mentioned that there still are a number of obstacles for generalized usage of AR...
Nine tools for streaming your life and work
“We’d like to write blog posts, but don’t have time.” That’s the oft-heard lament in newsrooms, but also elsewhere. More and more people recognize the benefits of blogging and social media, but many just can’t figure out how to add them to their existing workload. I have a solution that seems to...
Talking about augmented reality, forgetting about virtual/real
I had a great time participating in the “Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe” show, talking about augmented reality. The careful preparation of the show (professional rehearsals, planning etc) really blurs the boundaries between virtual and physical reality. My fellow guests songwriter PonDman Haalan and Axle Messerchmitt (talking about Post-Traumatic Stress...
Playing viral games looking for… authenticity?
We had a great discussion at We Are the Network about viral business models and viral campaigns, discussing some of the texts Joel linked to on his blog joelfoner.com. We discussed Facebook games such as Farmville and MafiaWars but also the Ozimal bunnies in Second Life. I wondered whether those very...

Sims Gamer
I’ve said before that the Pets expansion for Sims 2 stressed me out – too much going on with not enough control. But I always enjoyed the actual creating part of Pets. There are just so many freakin’ things you can do without any custom content just by tweaking the sliders...
Disney is known for its memorable cartoon characters and Tarzan is one that’s pretty unforgettable. Maybe it’s his childlike kindness and charm or maybe it’s his hot body [I can say that about a cartoon character, right?] but whatever “it” is, the movie remains a favorite of many children AND adults. And...
Chicago Living Room for Sims 2

Do Boys Have It Easier in Sims 3?

French Country Farm House for Sims 3
French Country is an acquired taste or rather, you either like French Country or you don’t. While I’m not a huge fan, I think this house is great and it’s worth a look even if you’re like me and don’t usually like French Country. With this house you get three bedrooms and three...
