A friend recently went to attend a widely advertised SL class on particles. She expected nothing like what happened. She arrived and was banned as the class started, poof outa here.

Feeling rejected and interested in the class she tried several approaches all wi… Continue reading →

KirstenLee Viewer 26 Sunday Kirsten released a new build. I was the 226th to download a copy… Kirsten’s viewer is about as bleeding edge as one can get. Her site has a warning to that affect.

Everett Rogers’ Technology Curve Her article explains some of the LL challenges in moving Second Life (SL) toward mainstream adoption, wh… Continue reading →
