every now and then you stumble upon something in second life that absolutely just works with the media.. i believe it is more than just my long time love of david’s painting that makes me feel that way about this work by ‘AM Radio’.

(more…)

just when thought i had given up on open croquet, this video reminds me of some of the things that drew me to it in the first place.

an open invitation is extended to all interested parties to pay tribute by the tomb of “Nonnatus of Tirisfal Glades”, who despite being devoted to the cause of our lady Sylvanas never did make it past level 45. despite this, a greater warlock there never was, as Nonnatus did find a means to open a portal from the lands of Azeroth to the Lands of Second Life. these efforts were his last – his dying words were whispered to his namesake, upon whose land his body now rests.

please feel free to visit and perhaps leave a tribute of your own – his tomb side being open for object creation.
