"There’s a new club in town. “OMG, another club in Second Life?”, you ask, “What makes this club different to the other Second Life clubs?”" Read more on the blog.
"I came across Kekeland looking for professionally built places with attention to detail and overall credibility. Lately, I’m exploring the creations of Terry Fotherington (on Facebook), aka Dandy Warhol (on Flickr). In the coming months, I intend to know other landscapers and visit (where possible) their creations inworld." Read more on the blog.
"One of the most familiar symbols associated with springtime is the cherry blossom, or sakura. In Japan, it is seen as both a sign of the end of the bleaker times of winter and also – in China at least – a time of renewal and also a life’s ephemerality." Read more on the blog.
"Step back in time and enjoy the summer of ’42 at the Element region (created and owned) by Sixdigital and Justice Vought, this brand-new region is too good to not visit." Read more on the blog.
"The Azulor is a brand new "galactic underwater resort", which as the name suggests mixes a space and aquatic theme. It's a closed sim, meaning that entry is for group members only, with you getting your membership on check-in. Bookings are done via the website." Read more on the blog.
"On Sundays at noon (slt) people meet in the J & R BALLROOM. — DJ Violet spoils with swinging music that makes legs move. Charming Maria hosts." Read more on the blog.
"Frogmore covers the region of the same name and is home to 30k prims. However, Terry has managed to decorate it, leaving about 9k prims free. This helps to reduce lag, and in fact, I was able to take several pictures using Firestorm’s ultra mode without any problems." Read more on the blog.
"In 2017 I visited the Butterfly Conservatory, the work of Ry Heslop. I found it to be an engaging visit – one you can read about in Of lepidopterans, owls, bugs and honey in Second Life. I actually lost track of the conservatory a little while after that visit, so was pleased to learn via the Destination Guide that it has made a return to Second life and has a new home and it went on the list for places to (re)check out." Read more on the blog.
"Over the past years I’ve seen my share of forests in Second Life, but for some reason I can’t get enough of them. Specially when they are beautifully landscaped and have a touch of magic! Today I visited Cloven Forest" Read more on the blog.
"For those would like to mark the passing of the Prince in Second Life, a black armband is available in the meeting area." Read more on the blog.
"Last week when logging in I got a disturbing notification. My shape could not be located in inventory and I rezzed like a n00b in some default form. Not a pretty sight I can tell you! Not panicked at that moment I cleared cache and logged back in into Second Life in an LL region, Pooley, and waited for my inventory to load." Read more on the blog.
"Region Description: You have found yourself on the magnificent Island Kingdom built by Master builder Calein Flux.
Although the sim is currently open to the public, and we encourage others to enjoy the beauty of Sands of Time, please be aware it is privately owned and may be closed from time to time for private events or when the large-scale building is in progress." Read more on the blog.
"Right after I visited Hiraya Township, in Heterocera (mainland), and wrote about it, the place underwent a major reform. Though some parts remained the same, the central area around the train station has been completely redesigned, which makes a big difference for the whole area. I noticed some changes, too, in the village of Amakura, linked to main Hiraya." Read more on the blog.
"The Grand Hollywood Tower is a 1920s / 1930s themed hotel, bits of which are deliberately styled to give you the idea that it's seen better days and that it has hidden, sinister secrets. So, on arriving you are greeted by the sound of lightning and howling wolves" Read more on the blog.
"Once again a superb Drune arrived in Second Life! I’ve been a fan of most of the Drune versions, though the real cyberpunk ones where my favorites – the one we filmed in for Stömol for instance." Read more on the blog.
"The current pandemic has shown us the real value of educating the public about how scientific principles are applied to practical matters. Social distancing, masks, vaccines, tracing via testing are all practical steps to take in preventing the spread of diseases and all are the product of scientific research. The steps in moving a basic science discovery to the practical use of that knowledge or innovation have always been many and varied." Read more on the blog.
"With the opening on the Alpine theme homes (see: Lab announces Linden Homes Chalet Theme released), Satori and all points north (including Blake Sea and Second Norway) have directly connected to Jeogeot and Sansara (and points north) via Bellisseria. This set me wondering what it would be like to complete an “epic voyage” by either boat or aircraft (or possibly both, and perhaps even with a land vehicle or two) through all or some of the connected lands." Read more on the blog.
"That is correct. The Mumbling Goat Basement is a nice hangout for live musicians in Second Life. It is a cozy place and the performances are super cool." Read more on the blog.
"La Croisette is a famous beach front promenade in Cannes, France, which includes a number of hotels - most notably the Hyatt owned Le Martinez. A version of both the promenade and the Martinez hotel have now been recreated in Second Life. I went to stay on the day after it opened. My conclusion is that the destination as a whole is well worth a visit, but I'm less convinced about the hotel." Read more on the blog.
"The ONSR will bring us to our starting point for exploring the Alpine Routes in the Snowlands, a subcontinent at Sansara. We will pass by Chalet Linden and various other points of interest. To top it all off, we will test our skills to raft through rapids on the fjord before we finish our tour at the Winter Cove Community." Read more on the blog.
"As yet another experiment in virtual cinematography (and as a nice way to relax), here is a leisurely, 360-degree panning shot that I did while floating in Second Life's Blake Sea—with my draw distance cranked up to 600 meters. The EEP Sky preset that I used while filming was [TOR] HORROR - Bloody moon. I also tweaked things a bit in my video editor, mainly in order to reduce color banding and to make the sky feel a little more vibrant, and a little less grim, than the name of that aforementioned preset would suggest."

"Good old mainland in Second Life holds some precious jewels — and Hiraya Township, located in Heterocera Atoll, is one of those invaluable gems. With different areas for visitors to enjoy, it occupies the entire region of Bedstraw and extends into some neighboring sims. Although it is mainly designed as a Japanese urban zone, the place nicely articulates with parks, natural areas and adjacent initiatives which include even a space station for those who want to venture into outer space." Read more on the blog.
"Back in October when I started this website, I just missed out on a number of Second Life Hotels, which had closed for the Winter season. One of those was the Royal Bali Resort, which from the website, looked amazing. At the time, Royal Bali's owners transferred the reception and spa area onto a much smaller plot of land in a sailable sim, and kept that part open for visitors." Read more on the blog.
"On the official SL Wiki site, the history about the Okemo, Nakiska and Southern Railway (ONSR) is pretty clipped: "ONSR was initially a private build, mostly built by Veronica Quackenbush. She acquired the right of way through several sims over several years. Kitto Flora scripted the cars and switches in Smithers Sim for her. Later, Kitto Flora was temporarily commissioned by Linden Lab to build the extension of the ONSR to the Wengen Sim."" Read more on the blog.
"The Le Manoir de Provence is a French themed and owned hotel, with largely French speaking guests and residents. It's in two chateau type buildings, with gardens, a small beach promenade and extensive facilities, which are open to the public." Read more on the blog.
