It's been almost a week since the release of Second Life 1.10, and just about every time I visit a sandbox, I see the flexiprims: bouncing, jiggling, swaying. I did a search in Find today for the word "flex"—85 matches, with Mature checked on. Wonder what it'll be next week. I notice a lot of listings aren't even including full sentences, let alone spaces. There are just long strings of text which can be searched, but not read easily. For example:
Adam n Eve

The term "flexiprims", often hyphenated (but I refer it without), has rapidly entered our SLexicon, our SLanguage. 
I prefer "SLanguage" because of the pleasing portmanteau.
One of the foremost joys of having seen this feature been born is how apparent and ready it is for the casual observer: "eye candy" is severely underrated, not just because of how some people mistakenly believe it's "just for looks"—which is really quite singular and astigmatic!—but also because it's a literal representation of progress. Things in motion. Aaaand it's part of a bigger picture!
Tomorrow, we're getting the first taste of a web browser in SL. Yeah. The day has come. Read Frans Charming's take on the SL updates, and consider this: for everything that hasn't yet arisen in SL, what feature would feel as painful like eating your own hand if it were removed?
If you're old enough, remember when we didn't have inventory search? How about custom animations (shortly before my time)? Or when "Abandon Land" was ambiguously called "Release Land"? For some, how about taking away the more colorful World Map display? Can you imagine being constrained to Telehubs to teleport again? (Think about that as a "new feature"!) Or point to more recent additions like llHTTPRequest—which I'm anxious to see more usages of—and how about the horror of reverting to the old crippled Local Lighting and… some months from now, do you think we'll be able to live without our newfound friends, the "flexible objects" aka flexiprims?
Prioritize what we do have, and what you'd like to see more of. Scribble them down on a notepad if you wish. Title it:
"Ten Second Life features I can't live without…
and would like to see be even better!"
It's an effective way to think positively, and act productively, next time you're discussing with other Resis or talking to a Linden.
