my Tuscan villa in Second Life (via conniereece)
I’m too short even in Second Life! If I lower the bench where my feet reach the pedals, then my hands are below the keyboard. So … the feet just have to dangle.
As I was headed off to bed, a new SL friend IM’d me — Blueman Steele, who came to our Social Media Club meeting last month when the topic was Second Life. Tonight he taught me some tricks for using voice in SL, showed me the new Windlight viewer and a tic-tac-toe game he programmed for SL … and we ended the evening with a magic carpet ride.
Started out simple enough. I was just going to take a few minutes after dinner to rez a boxed house. Big purchase: L$1 … so while I’m working on that, MikeG1 Schumann and Tynan Clary drop in to see what’s going on. And Tynan is full of big plans for joining our islands … and determined to tell me what should go where on my property. Then in drops Cybergrrl Oh to put in her two cents’ worth.
Eventually, we wound up over at Tynan’s place, where we were joined by Chel Pixie, Goldie Katsu and EvansMom Goodpeace. Before you know it, a couple of hours had passed and we’d had a lot of fun, enjoyed some great conversation … and, yes, plotted world domination.
I’ll let the photos tell the rest of the story.
The lovely and talented Goldie Katsu is checking the scripting on Tynan’s crazy chairs. Chel Pixie looks stunned that I would dare to eat Cheetos during the meeting.
Cybergrrrl Oh demonstrates poor conference etiquette by continually stretching while emo-mode Chel Pixie threatens to go all kung fu on someone who messed with Tynan.
Left to right: Reece Llewellyn, Cybergrrrl Oh, MikeG1 Schumann, Tynan Clary. Oh, the plans … the plans …
Lydia Duport sent me on a shopping mission for glasses. Found these from House of London (Kineso model) with a touch-screen menu to change both the color of the wire frames and lenses. Hmm. Maybe I should take a screenshot in daylight.
