"The huntsman dreamed he had a dream,
of endless Summer skies,
of silver wings, and faerie rings,
of a queen with opal eyes."

"I sometimes forget that Second Life is a scientific laboratory for the computer scientist. The 3D world that I take for granted is the product of many, many talented programmers and mathematicians. I could program in C and FORTRAN but object oriented, windows-based programming always eluded me, so I am most impressed with the virtual world of Second Life."

"Exploration lies deep within our human DNA, no matter what we love to explore even if we aren’t aware that we’re doing it. I’ll be honest today was a somewhat boring day for me in my reality and I thought I’d jump into Second Life and do a little bit of exploring. During my travels, I came across a Russian sim by the name “Russian Province COBKOBO/SOVKOVO”. I felt like exploring something that at some point could also be seen in real life, so I used the destinations button on the left-hand side of my firestorm viewer and went to the “international” tab to begin. Heads up there are a lot of Brazil areas to visit recently. Since this wasn’t a Brazilian area, I chose it not that I have anything against Brazil there are just so many areas made to replicate it and when you’ve been to one you’ve been to them all. I can’t wait to jump right in and tell you all about my experience in the Russian Province COBKOBO/SOVKOVO!"

"Fall is the time of year for chilly mornings, crunchy leaves, pumpkins and apple cider. Being from California this also means that chilly mornings quickly turn in to hot afternoons, leaving one to wonder if mother nature is going through menopause, and while you can’t throw a rock around here without hitting a pumpkin spice latte, the leaves are still pretty much green and clinging stubbornly to the branches. By the time we get actual fall most of the rest of the country is covered in snow."

"This is the best time of the year, the best weather, the best colours, the best clothes, the best everything.  Walking on the beach is better, parks are prettier. SL comes alive more than any other stage. Creative juices flow more. I take way to much time walking around sims and exploring and seem to blog less because of it. Who cares, I am having fun!"

"I have been  trying to work at doing more decor, it doesn't come naturally to me. I am one of those people who has the kitchen cupboards all in order, straight lines and labels facing out. I like the sounds on the TV to be done in even numbers. When I am feeling well everything sits in its place, when disorder is around me it is a sign I am struggling. So to be feeling ok today but still have to be random with SL things feels odd. I enjoyed the challenge though, just need to work at getting better at this - going to look at some flickr feeds and be inspired"

"The Fae came down the mountain,
her heart soft summer rain,
for she had fallen Fae in love,
with a huntsman on the plain.

The Fae came down the mountain,
her song soft as a sigh,
and sang him deep, to faerie sleep,
with a Fae soft lullaby.

"A month ago I wrote a post called Get Baked – A Quick Beginners’ Guide to Using Bakes on Mesh. In the light of the questions I’ve seen since Bakes on Mesh (BOM) came to more residents’ attention, I’ve realised that I need to strip that post way back: right to the absolute basics, in fact. So here—in a loving pastiche of the ‘Dummies Guide’ books—is Bakes on Mesh for Dummies."

"Today’s post is back to the lovely pink aesthetic. I’m bubbling with delight. Even though it is Halloween I figure it is still perfectly okay to roll around in lots of pink things. There are even still little touches of Halloween all around. I really liked these shelves by Half Deer and I liked even more that they came with colour changes for the wings."

"I have been sorting through my Halloween decorations and am excited about the whole trick or treating thing this year.  I finally live somewhere that I am very likely to get some kids.  I loved taking my daughter out for trick or treating when she was little.  Our tradition was to first go out trick or treating and then come home and watch It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown while sorting her candy….a piece for her, 2 for me..you know how that goes, right?"

"I have done a follow-up video as mentioned in a previous post, to help get a handle on how to create alpha layers, how to not have to pay to test them by using local textures. I hope it helps those that are going through their mesh in the hopes of really embracing the bakes on mesh options available."

"It really is.. I love how the leaves turn color, I love the smell in the air, I love the October rains too.. Autumn is my favorite season of the year and not so much because of Halloween since we don’t do that in The Netherlands. I never was a fan of dressing up for those kind of events but I do love everything else about this season."

"Tis the witching hour of night,
Orbed is the moon and bright. And
the stars they glisten, glisten.
Seeming with bright eyes to listen-
For what listen they?

"For my simploring tour on Thursday, September 26th, I selected Twilight Doors from scoop.it SL Destinations. Twilight Doors is located on a 1/4 of a full adult sim. It is owned by Bo Zano (Bozanonl Resident). The landmark description reveals a bit of what Twilight Doors is about: “Studio for quality scenes and back drops”"
