"After I expanded my land and started Dutch estate in January this year, little may seem to have changed. But appearances can be deceptive. Of course, the old idea of a small-scale polder landscape remains. But every day I work on small improvements and sometimes I decide that something more substantial needs to change.  For those who like it, I keep track of these changes in a journal."

"BAY CITY opened its doors back in 2008 to offer the grid an "art deco" themed, American urban experience, and was created by the well-known Moles within the Linden Department of Public Works. For more than two decades, Bay City is not only a highlight on the grid but also a very active community until today. In celebration of the upcoming 14th anniversary on May 15, we visit Bay City to visit public historical sites and learn something about its diverse past." Read more on the blog.

"Just to put a preface on this…myself (Lia) and Fenny grew up at a time when EDM (Electronic Dance Music) was still in the throes of the “Great Split”. Late 80’s through the 90’s the original techno and dance scene was splintering into all sorts of different styles of house, dance and club and myself and fenny followed a lot of those branches into what today is all lumped into the heading of “EDM”. So, as you can expect, knowing the full history of EDM going back to the time of the late 80’s into the splintering of the 90’s we can both become the “Statler and Waldorf” muppets when it comes to reviewing a general EDM club."

"Ellingson National Forest offers everything you could ever hope for during a weekend hiking trip. Rugged trails navigate lush forests on their way to tall waterfalls raging just a few feet from each other. Song birds fill the air with their melodies around park benches placed at the forest’s most iconic sites. At night, the trails are illuminated by the soft glow of lightning bugs. And you can explore it all without ever leaving home. Why? Because Second Life recently sanctioned a segment of their Ellingson region as a virtual national forest." Read more on the blog.

"I’ve been spending a lot of time set building over the last few days and felt like I needed a break from it. I’d downloaded the latest version of Firestorm and was delighted to see that it now incorporates the 360 photo feature introduced a few months back in the Linden viewer, plus I’d heard that Hera had revisited a past project, Goatswood. That sounded like an excursion to me." Read more on the blog.

"My first introduction to the work of Hera (zee9 – then known as Kora) came getting on for a decade ago, when I first visited Venexia and Goatswood, two separate builds developed for role-play. At the time, both were popular spots for visitors, with Goatswood possibly the more popular by virtue of its more general setting.  However, both departed Second Life in 2015 and while Venexia has reappeared from time to time since then, I think I’m right in saying Goatswood has largely been absent the grid. At least until now." Read more on the blog.
