My good friend Nephilaine Protagonist now has HER OWN BLOG! Like Lillix sang, "It's about life, it's about fun!" Where? NEPHILAINE.COM?I've been tracking changes for the last few days and it's just shaping up really pretty. Great to keep track of all of her prolificism, including related projects like "The New Zero" with Torrid Midnight and Delairen Baysklef and a certain new automotive product which I will be no doubt talking more about soonish. All in all, a focal point of SLexcellence.
Not directly related to SL, but still related: I found out from a friend about a site that naturally appeals to me. airlinemeals.net is what it's called. Many colorful pictures of airline food. Glorious! Now, is there a counterpart for hotels?
hEY YOu know what? I'd like to go to a restaurant that served airline food. Buffet-style, even. Just a thot!
I haven't checked this out in more detail, but what I've read so far has gripped me. Mentioned, on Boing Boing, a new novel called Counting Heads by David Marusek. The sample passage of prose had me enthralled with its richness?I'd actually parallel it to Neal Stephenson's chopsuey style flava in some of the denser moments of The Diamond Age (one of my faves up to now). Cory Doctorow gives an acclaimed review, so it must be good, or at least a wonderful thing. So, check it out, and I'll check it out later.
Osprey Therian has invented FootShadow B-Gon, a spray to KILL FOOT SHADOWS. Not that violently in her words, but it's exactly how I'd put it because by now you know how much I hate them. Os gave me something to smile about in a moment of shadowey darqueness.
1.7.1 is out. Things are looking up.
I went for a unicorn ride a few hours ago on Gnash Rambler's corral. He has a nice quarter of Nessus set up for his and his lady's enjoyment. (I was on the way to Jon Oddfellow's and uhhh kinda got lost. I'll be back.) It kind of reminded me of that clip from Blade Runner, or even the Enigma "Return to Innocence" video (if only Difang liked Michael Cretu). Unicorn chaser!
And really, what is more pleasant than pals sitting in the sunrise? Whelp, a pleasanter sunrise. And that is what we have now. Note even with the crappy JPEG compression, there is beautiful smoothness in the transition from black-yellow-orange-red. More beautiful skylines!
Second Life may one day be the new home of a prominent Japanicelt community. Kilt-wearing Otaku drawing comparisons between William Wallace and samurai.
