I might have to get me one. Would make Call of Duty:WAW much more fun!!! :D

why would you want this for SL? I mean it's not all that useful

now if the interface was more extensive...... oh wait someone already sells that =O

Ah, you think small! Vest is already here, helmet on the way, next up would have to be pants ;)

And how cool would it be to "feel" friends hug you? Or being hit in a combat sim? Or, well, the adult stuff.

Every lil' gadget slowly gets closer to the day we can "feel" what we touch online.

The day SL can incorporate all our senses is a long ways off, but that day is slooooowly coming.

Hi Thread-peoples!

So nows th' time when I should write up my weekly update. I had some trouble with gettin' my piccies out of SL, so I dun have as many as usual -- but I do have some.



On Friday evening, it was school time -- an it was time for our report card! I'm very proud to say that I scored 100 on both parts of the test, great attendance, classwork etc., an got an A+ :-)

Yes... the RP school does grade your work. :-)

Anyway, earlier in the week, I had talked with Lorin Tone. He was one of the two creative minds behind the blurtophone from Burning Life 08, an the band bots at Madcow Cosmos' store. You see, I wanted a newer blurtophone. Lo an behold, he was able to make this happen. I helped test the new ones out, an will now have one for next weekend's big parade in Nova Albion. Woot!

Meanwhile, in Bay City, I had to do a big presentation. I called it "Bay City Style." It's on the real world design and architecture that influenced Bay City. The presentation was well attended an well received. I was very glad folks liked all I hadda say, an that the time I spent in RL art history courses was not wasted. ;-)

I did not get a piccie of mr doin the presentation, though, so I'm gonna borrow one my Molly Montale from her flickr stream. I hope she dun mind.



The Shuttle took off in RL on Sunday, an Dakota mentioned it on the Forum Cartel group chat. He sent me the URL an before you knew it, I hadda block party. It was actually a lotta fun, an one of the reasons I'm glad I have a little suburban house in Shermerville. It is funny how we can do whatever we want in SL - but this sort of thing is both absolutely real world, yet also someting many of us *don't* experience in our First Lives. I barely speak to my RL neighbors, an I s'pect the same is true f'r many others.

Anyway, here's alla us sittin 'round the backyard watchin' the flame come off the back of a large craft being hurtled into space.



Also that evening was a fundraiser auction I hadda go to. Abby McDonnaugh is a long time member of the SL child avatar community. She's been a friend to many, a creator knowing for an innovative use of "MLP" style scripts to make a bed that is perfectly G rated, and allowing for kids and parents to interact. She's been dealing with some serious health issues related to high blood pressure, so much so that she had to either get surgery, or risk death. The community, in a way to show support, has been donating and had this big auction. The auction raised $178, 262 -- and combined with all the donations this weekend, it's a grand total of L$409,000.



Editorial moment: how amazing is it to live in a world where a bunch of people would donate what is a sizable amount of real world money to someone who that know through little more than her pixels and personality? What does it ay about those who talk of how "creepy" kid avvies are, and assume we're all perverse to see that great an outpouring when one of our own is in need? I'm really touched by it all.

To finish out the weekend, there was a Sci-Fi/Fantasy photo contest I jes hadda enter. No photoshop allowed -- hadda be totally show inworld an all that. Here's one of my entries. I'm really proud of it.



Have a g'night an g'mornin, everybuggy!

Love that sci fi pic Mari! You should be proud,it's very nice.:) Thanks for the weekend update.Did you win the contest?


My weekend update-lots of cleaning,lots of drinking, lots of sleeping. I did make a really good beef stew though.:/ No pics available though. Okay,not as exciting as Mari's updates. I need a life. First and second one.:p


Have a good day everyone. Been up since 3,so I'll probably be in bed all day after the kids head out.

Yay...another weekend update from Mari. *cheers*

Wow Mari....wonderful pics! The sci-fi pic is gorgeous. But I think this one is my favorite. You do such a nice job capturing the everyday joys in your SL photos.

Thanks bunches!

ok I admit it'd be great to get a secondhand hug, I don't think the price is right, or the tech up to making it feel real... as for the adult stuff... while I can't find the exact reference I was looking for, it's already being incorporated http://www.wired.com/gaming/virtualworlds/commentary/sexdrive/2006/08/71657

Good morning Threadophiles.

Another Monday...another week of forum voyeurism.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did. But it's nice to be back to work where I can rest a bit. :D

What school do you go to - and does it cost anything (tuition)? My SL daughter has all but dropped out of SL when her school closed in the whole OpenSpace fiasco that occurred, so I'm trying to find her a new one (it's the mommy's job, apparently...lol).

I love when I get my child all ready for school at 6 am,sit there and wait for the bus. When bus doesn't come,look at school calender and find out there is no school for his school because it is a staff only day.:/


/me makes mental note to check that stupid calender every week.

I woke up this morning, and when I took a peek at the thread...yay! a Mari Weekend Update. :)

Loved all your pics; I'm glad your Bay City presentation went well. :)

The sci-fi pic was fabulous! The spaceship looks like the one from Flash Gordon!

Pretty cool that you were watching the launch in your backyard. That pic gave me shivers, for some reason. :)

And yes...I think it's great that members of the SL community come together when someone needs help.

Thanks again, Mari. :)

No I can. Luckily it's the almost 14 year old son. He can fend for himself while I nap.:p Four year old has school today.:)


Thanks for the coffee anyway though:p

Good morning all!

After an exhausting but productive weekend, I'm *almost* glad to be back at work! *laughs*

However, guess who's face is plastered all over the SL Enquirer today? :D

lol...Thanks, Ghosty. I think it's their editing software which causes the problem. Sometimes it won't load for me, just giving me the banner at the bottom.

One article is about the Garden of Lost Love...and one about the entreprenuer behind the Garden ;)
