I meant to get a post in before the holidays but it’s not looking like that is going to happen. It was partially time, I think I’ve been online only once this week and that was to celebrate the Solstice with … Continue reading →

When I started taking these photos, I had a concept in mind: Brady Bunch meets Addams Family. A bit of a quirky idea I admit, but as I was putting together an outfit to go listen to the DJ’s at Unhinged this too-cute-to-be-goth look came together and that’s the first thought that popped into my head; [...]

When I first signed up to be an “official” blogger for the Unhinged Gatcha Festival I had no hesitation or reservations. As a general rule I don’t commit to things in Second Life, especially not blogging, because I can never guarantee my online availability nor can I predict when the mood to write or take [...]

I actually don’t have much to say today, imagine that. This post is primarily to show some of the photos I’m working on because I’m in love with how they turned out. I wish I could take credit for artistic vision, but alas this was completely accidental. I was standing 1300m in the air above [...]

I started this blog, and the whole Renoobed project, in order to find ways to fill some gaps that existed in my Second Life. It’s worked quite well in that I’ve discovered many new interesting things to do as well as met quite a few incredible people, but as I approach the one year mark [...]

I haven’t had a chance to blog all week, but that doesn’t stop posts from rattling around in my brain. Sometimes it’s like there is a cage match in there and I have to wait to see which topic wins before I can write it. I know already that this one is going to be [...]

I’ve seen people with bubble gum a few times over the years in SL and I always think to myself “I’d like to have some gum too” but I never ask them where they got it because people can be strange about that. I suppose I could have clicked to inspect their gum, but I just [...]

There are a few things tickling the back of my throat that I’d love to blog about, but I really don’t feel I should for a variety of reasons. Conversely, there are a few things I really should blog about, not the least of which finishing my viewer reviews and this weeks color challenge because [...]

Have you ever had a friend who is just so much cooler than you are? I do, her name is Riot. Shortly after I met her she nicknamed me Disco Biscuit and as a case in point I actually had to google that when she first did. I’d never heard the term before. I started [...]

Smiling on the outside. Not much to report on the SL front as I’m still mostly playing with my photos and seeing if I can tip them over the edge and explore “digital art” Of the dozen or so experiments I’m working on, I have to say this one is my favorite. I know there [...]

You go through old photos on your desktop just so you can play with PicMonkey.
I blame Misty for telling me there is a collage feature that I didn’t notice before.
Obviously, I HAD to go back and test it. Right?

I’ve been reading various blog and forum posts about PicMonkey, a photo editing software. According to pretty much everyone it’s “easy”. Well pffft, I’ve been conned by that before. Most people in SL have a different definition for the word easy than I do. Learning a new photo editing software might be quick for those [...]

I am really excited that Cristiano started a Faces of SLU project. From Drow to Vampire, Cyborg to Gothic, it’s not just interesting to see the variety of content options there are out there, but more so how people use those options to make something uniquely their own and represent themselves in this virtual world. [...]

I’m sure by now you’ve read all about the Mesh Around Hunt, maybe even completed some of it yourself, but what you probably don’t know is that the whole thing is a cleverly orchestrated plot to give me birthday presents. Don’t believe me? Consider this. The Hunt lasts from June 1st to June 15th and [...]

I had some time to kill today so I was tidying up my desktop and picture folders. I save a lot of photos there, only a portion of which I ever use, and though I try to remove all the ones I don’t post but some sneak by or get accidentally misfiled. I decided to upload [...]

I stopped in to see the new Collabor88 collection the other night. I love these types of events, they enable me to have some of the latest and greatest things on the grid but within my budget. I was grinning ear to ear as I picked up a sweater that is so so very me and a mesh [...]

Last night I received an IM from someone asking me if I remembered a forum post I had written with suggestions of places to see in SL. I couldn’t find it, but I’m certain I must have used some of the incredible places I’ve visited since I started this project so I started to go [...]

I had a bit of an accident after work today. Not a car accident, just one of those unfortunate misadventures of balance and coordination. So as I sat back and pondered the age-old question as to whether or not the warnings about combining muscle relaxers and wine were perhaps overstated, I decided to log into [...]

If you’ve followed this blog project since the beginning, or browsed my Flickr Stream, I think you’ll agree my SL photography has improved quite a bit. I still don’t own Photoshop, and know how to use many three tools in GIMP, but I’ve taught myself a lot about composition, pose choice, windlight, depth of field [...]

Mesh. It’s not quite as volatile a subject as politics or religion, but it’s certainly up there with appropriate hotdog toppings. Don’t even get me started on people who put ketchup on hotdogs. If there isn’t mustard and onions, it isn’t a hotdog. Mesh has a lot going for it. My limited budget doesn’t allow [...]
