"One of the most exciting aspects of Second Life is the ability to customize your avatar in a very detailed way. Over time, thanks to the quality of the heads, bodies, skins, and all the different BOM levels (bake on mesh) offered on the market, the users’ creativity is manifested in the creation of Avatars of exceptional quality. Whether realism or fantasy is the user’s preferred choice, the customization possibilities are nearly endless.

In this post, I talk about it with Nihan Evermore, who caught my attention on Facebook after posting images of a high-quality avatar (many appreciated his work by writing in the comments)."

"As the name suggests, the Art Trail is an open-air walk along the southern coast of Corsica, winding its way between the Corsica Tourist Centre and Tea Garden and Port Emyniad, with the former noted at the starting point; although there is no reason why trail-walkers can start from the Port and follow the signs backwards – there is no order into how the path is followed and the order in which the art is viewed."

"Have you ever noticed that people have a tendency to automatically react negatively to something new that they don’t understand?

It seems that we have an intrinsic need to criticize anything nascent without taking the time to understand it. Open-mindedness isn’t as highly valued as many people claim.

This sentiment plagued the internet when it first gained mainstream appeal. Then social media, and smart phones after that.

However, the same people who originally criticized each use all three these days.

And now, it’s the metaverse’s turn.

I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time dispelling rumors and misunderstandings about the metaverse with its advantages. So, I decided to write a blog post about it."

" I've been variously dreaming of and promising local mesh for a few years now; it has always been near the top of the TODO list without making it there. Now, finally, and due primarily to the efforts of Vaalith Jinn, who wrote the underlying mechanics for local mesh we are ready to unveil local mesh to the creator community. If Vaalith's name has a familiar ring to it then that may be because Vaalith was the originator of the current local textures feature we've all enjoyed for years." Read more on the blog.
