Where dreams are made
Since I quit smoking two weeks ago, my energy level has taken a major upsurge and I continue to drop the 11 sacks of poundage (or is that 11 pounds of sackage?) I put on over the winter. Not much, but only 3 lbs to go now thanks to more energy than wanting cookies. *laughs* [...]
spring cleaning.
On with dance, let joy be unconfined, is my motto; whether there’s any dance to dance or any joy to unconfined. -Mark Twain I’m not waiting until the “real” Spring to get first life things done this year. I am sick sick sick of winter and all that goes with it … the cold, the [...]
best birthday ever.
Old age ain’t no place for sissies. ~Bette Davis *laughs* (I love that quote.) Best birthday ever. I recall I’ve said that for every single one I can remember, but for some odd reason they really do get better and better. Amazing family, great friends, and now ~two~ pretty incredible lifes may have something to [...]
Happy FL B’Day to the Queen of Everything!
That’s what my family calls me. It may be true. *blushes* Or at least they let me think I am. What an absolutely fantastically fun and productive week in all lifes! *laughs* I am giddy from all the adventures, beautiful pictures, learning experiences, and lengthy conversations I’ve had with Doc (GOD … he’s one smart [...]
blissings. (no kidding.)
The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure. -Joseph Campbell … Edit Jan 18: I decided today that I am going to keep my videos here rather than posting on youtube from now on. I no longer have to embed anything to get it [...]
Terrain! It’s like “Hooray!”
I am SO (soooooo!) SICK OF SNOW! (lol) And, there was no way I wanted to traipse around in it any longer in my second life. *laughs* And, I wanted to make my own terrain textures for the start of the new year as a challenge. (I am totally diggin’ all these creative challenges I [...]
first tree.
(Well, second, if you count the feather stick tree I made for xmas.) The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes [...]
Future Now: Only $350
‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. By using a camera and a tiny projector mounted in a pendant like wearable device, ‘SixthSense’ sees what you see and visually augments any surfaces or objects [...]
always a work in progress.
If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. -W. Beran Wolfe (who wrote the classic 1930′s self-help [...]

Slowww down, peoples, “underachievement” is really okay. ;=)
This is our holiday tree this year. Of course the one I have in first life is a tad prettier. *grins* It is really just a symbol of some of the things Doc and I talk about in our second life … simplicity, mindfulness, and finding right balance between virtual and first life. Not always [...]
“Digital Emily” (Paul Debevec presentation at TED)
I am finally catching up on some of my web reading and I’ve been waiting to see Paul Debevec‘s presentation since reading about ICT’s awe inspiring development of “Digital Emily,” a year or so ago. If you choose to follow this link back to Debevec’s presentation at TED do take a few moments to read [...]
Third Rez Day (just things)
We do not live an equal life, but one of contrasts and patchwork; now a little joy, then a sorrow, now a sin, then a generous or brave action. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Just a few notes on things recalled lovingly from my first three years … My first vehicle “TechGirl’s Travel Pod,” by Angrybeth Shortbread. [...]
Tell them, “It’s been REAL.”
Goodbye to Bluewave. I have such wonderful memories to recount of Dr. Leslie Jarmon. Her humor, her intelligence, her charm, and her faith in me. I will leave that for later.
the things we do for love ….
I normally take Sunday (and Monday) entirely offline, but when my girlfriend Martini Discovolante called me last night to help out at her fashion show, I thought maybe she was going to ask me to proofread her show script, or something. That wasn’t it. She asked me to be a MODEL in a fashion show [...]
‘scuse my dust
….while I try out some new themes to see if I can’t mix up a few and get what I want. Will be a jumble while I ‘speriment. [Picture appropriately titled "Feelin' It."] *laughs*
today’s search “suggestions”
lol Now I forgot what I was searching for … o.O.O.o.o … “average”-something … dammit. haha.
Boo!
Happy Halloween! May you thoroughly enjoy your candy in all lifes … ;=) You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life can’t help [...]
It could NOT be Friday already!
OMG … where did the week go? I bet I only had 10 hours of a second life this week. … good ones, though. *smiles* Here we are just hanging out listening to our music stream. Those fabulous retro headphones (and sweater!) are from the inimitable Nylon Pinkney. Truly one of the funniest and most [...]
“Overheard”
Overheard while driving in heavy stoopid people traffic today. Him: I bet the Dalai Lama doesn’t drive. Her: He wouldn’t be a Dalai Lama for long if he did.
Proud, happy, beaming… (and *grinning*!)
… for my lovely friend, Pyewacket Bellman who’s film, “AM Radio” was just nominated as a finalist at MachinExpo 2009 . I have to agree with the jury … it really is an amazing video in every respect … flawless technique, gorgeous sound, wonderful subject, and filled to the brim with Pye’s beautiful imagination. It [...]
*laughs* … poses and snowmen.
It’s been such a wonderful, crazy week, with barely enough time to get anything done or started. I can’t believe it’s almost the weekend again! In the short time I’ve been able to work on SL things (haha … work?) I am starting again to re-learn Poser. My new machine doesn’t glitch the SL avatars [...]
