FYI on Temporary: People are misunderstanding what I mean. I used that word generally as in the big picture of sims and venues not lasting forever in SL. In all the years I have been in SL I have seen some of the most amazing places drop into the SL sea for many many reasons….

A Good For Nothing Second Life Review By A Noob!
There is a review someone wrote not too long ago about Second Life on the Crappy Games Wiki Uncensored. It’s pretty awesome that Ivylarae Resident went in and edited it with all her comments underlined. This original review I am convinced was from someone who went into SL for maybe 2 days to a week…

Level’s event CEO Jaay attacks a blogger for requesting reason for improvement after blogger rejection
Originally posted on The Whisperer:
My thoughts on the matter: Let the Level Event and staff reap what they have sown. Saying it was a misunderstanding and trying to make Bella apologise is sick. They all went gangsta in comments to other threads acting very hood and unprofessional to the point that designers pulled out of the event is what…

You may remember about 18 months ago I was commissioned to landscape and design a homestead region for clients Gnaaah and Tom called Florence Bay. Unexpectedly a few days ago they informed us they were going to let Florence Bay go. We know how much affection the region holds…
A Word About Blogging in Second Life
You know what grinds my gears? Rules that are ridiculous that’s what. I mean I understand stores in Second Life have rules for their bloggers to follow and rules they themselves follow in terms of managing all the bloggers. But has it ever ever been acceptable to control the blogger so drastically? As a designer…
