back to mach speed

I'm working on a quick blog article for Prim Perfect on Rustica's new Metropolitan Collection, which if finally available. Also working on another very late article on a wonderful furniture store, Gus* & Painter. 


My last photograph class of the series in tomorrow. I turned in my modeling portfolio shots, but they weren't very strong in my opinion. My "large product shot" last night went well. The critique was dead on. I'm always surprised when I find I'm blinded to the obvious while focusing on the details. I must say, the photos I've done for Prim Perfect have helped, simply because I have lots of practice.

I made it to Colonic sale at Relic. I picked up a few things, but I haven't had time to dig through them much.

When I put up my pre-fab a few months ago, there was a room I absolutely hated. It has this dated-looking wallpaper. Because of the way the windows were textured in, they walls were set up as no mod. Si "paneled" the walls with a nice, warm beige wall texture with white trim. It almost glows in when the sun hits it. Now I'm really looking forward to putting some furniture in the room. 

Si and I also did a little exploring over the weekend. We ended up at the Orange Island build. It will be interesting to see if it builds the community it hopes to, and if so, how it will grow and shape itself.

open sims - double the prims

Since January, I've rent half an open sim from Reach Isles. The half sim is spacious, and my neighbor on the other side is quiet, nice, and has good taste (nothing tacky in my line of sight). But I was pondering upgrading to a full sim simply to get more prims. 


Then came the announcement...

Linden Labs is doubling the available prim allotment on open sims, and the increase in price is pretty minimal. Now, I will have the prims I want without the hassle of moving. Can I hear a w00t!? I can even afford the primmage of a few Botanicals trees.

Exploring Svarga

Svarga is unusual in Second Life because it is a self-contained ecosystem. More complete details of the sim can be found at New World Notes. While you visit, look at the unusual vegetation, visit an oracle, bang on some drums at a castle. Fly to the top of a tree and survey the world around you (you can do this from the top of the towers, but I find it more fun to climb a tree.
