OMG! Was I bored? LOL!

RAFTWET Jewell making faces in Second Life. This photo was taken on WETLands in world one day when I was goofing around with my SL animations.

I must apologize to everyone! I have been gone much of 2011 with projects in real world gaining much of my attention. I did try to network all the projects together, though. I never did forget all of you out there in the virtual world of Second Life. I really got waylaid from doing most of my duties that a lot of you have grown to know.

Everything this year was rather sporadic. I know this. I will try harder to be on the grid regularly. Maybe not everyday, but I will do my best to get here. My hat goes out to each and everyone of you... now I am heading over to THE A LIST! blog to write something over there...

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

A good friend, an industrial designer, sent me this little video. I like it very much. It's a kinetic explosion of art, design, engineering and music. And, it's very silly and isn't meant for anything but a visual effect. I would like to build this in the virtual world! Can you imagine the scripting necessary to accomplish something like this machinery? Wow! Let's do it!

Well, it's Friday and the parties have already started. I guess I'll put on my new outfit and start the dancing animations for my avatar. I got a couple of new dances from Ministry of Motion , a great place for dancing animations. I like them, because, the dances look real... like a real person dancing instead of the over-the-top dances more designed for a professional dancer or show girl. Let's get moving... thank god it's Friday! Woot!

gardens at southern cross

Southern Cross Gardens Glass Greenhouse

gardens at southern cross, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

A gifted garden has risen at Southern Cross Gardens. A small retail area near the beach has great gifts for this Easter. Check the toys and curios and the cute beanies for your friends.

Then take a walk along the boardwalk over to the gardens and visit the greenhouse. The paddle wheel turns gently, splashing water near the river and rock.

A brick patio is a beautiful place to sit and view the gardens while listening to the old time radio stories. I found dj TheArtfullOne Skytower's name on all the builds; a talented dj and builder.
This is a beautiful place for a date or just a nice spot for anyone looking for a relaxed chill area.

I hung out here for an hour or more just enjoying the place, listening to the stories and meeting people. Kokopu Tavern is also here. An intimate bar perfect for live music and/or club music. Kudos!

Another new live music venue is an intimate club. A small nightclub that offers jazz, live vocalists and musicians in a warm setting.

Loegan Magic is the owner of Speakeasy and he was here tonight keeping a watchful eye on the place. The hostesses at this club are friendly and welcomed everyone as we walked in.

Go check it out for a great date spot this weekend!

Avatars United

I just joined a cool network that is a conglomeration of all virtual worlds including Second Life. Cool because we can be in there and connect both socially and in business. Avatars United. LOL! yah another spam site, another place to get messages out.

You get the drift. Create a profile, add bio, add photos, add videos (not yet), make friends and create groups. The difference is that it is in my community... where I reside and work. The avatars in Second Life are in there duplicating many of the same interests and groups that they already have in world.

Both my partner and I are there enjoying the friends and groups. We brought THE A LIST! into the network and it's been fun adding new friends to the group. I also started a group on a whim that has had a nice beginning. FOOD! is a group without any pretensions except that we all love food, recipes and tips on making our kitchen prep easier. We also recommend slurls for our favorite food creators on the grid.

There are several applications that make photos and communication easier, too. I am hoping that this beta goes smoothly as I already see problems happening with the group dynamics and photo uploads. With all of us sending suggestions and the creators monitoring our behavior, I am hoping this new network will be THE site for the virtual worlds.

And, besides, I have brought in many of the Lindens onto my friends list there... even former CEO, Phil Linden. OMG! Seriously... and I hope it is actually him behind that profile representation. Hee hee!

The builders at BassLine Island always have wicked builds. Fight Club is a tiny club with a film projector in the living room and popcorn on the table.
