Good Advice

Be the vampire. Got carried away, while trying to think my way out of an orbital dynamics problem.

Better not to ask.

Trust me.

Thanksgiving is on the way -- blood transfusions and flightless poultry for all!

P.S. I suppose it's not ladylike to draw attention to it, but you'll note in at least some of these pics the new "disappearing skirt" trick that presently comes with the First Look WindLight viewer. I suppose they were trying to be discrete by placing it at the bottom of the list of acknowledges bugs in this preview version of the viewer?

Don't mind me. I'm sleepy and should be editing more video instead of playing with this addiction on pixels.

Playing in WindLight

Beginning to rebuild and add new bits to reflect the changes that are coming from WindLight in SL. A first step was to take an outfit that has been in development for some time and look at it under several sorts of conditions.

What is going on here? Am I re-enthused by the pretty, shiny things? It would seem so.

Abandon all hope. Yes, all.

Updated pieces

Here is one poster for one of the pieces updated recently.

Time for changes

Following various advice received we'll be reshooting old designs and putting together individual, single prim vendors for outfits and variations of our present roster of designs. We'll also be making a decision to simplify design and ownership/permissions options.

Hopefully a redesign of the store will also create some impetus for new designs. Further updates once decisions have been made. Leaning for now towards mod/copy or maybe mod/transfer.

Getting sidetracked

Well, maybe it's par for the course in SL, but I find myself seriously sidetracked from the two things that mostly appeal to me in the metaverse (and outside the metaverse) -- namely, fashion design and art. That and the intersection of those two things.

I'm in the process of paring down my other distractions from these two. Hopefully, in a matter of a few weeks I might find that I'm doing more of what I love (and paying less in tier fees).

Why am I posting this? Well, maybe because I haven't put much up here lately, haven't designed any new clothes, and have only been obsessed with a kinetic sculpture that (apparently) eats too much for certain sim owners. Anywhere else it might be clever, but in SL, if it moves it risks being killed.

Anyway, I hope to get back to doing more interesting things, at least with this blog, and hopefully, more interesting things in SL as well. Check back in a week or two. Please.

Chinese style

More video goodness, with smiley angels no less. And griefers in black.

Can anyone offer the backstory on this video? And while you're at it, tell my why I'm posting it here?
