Sticking Your Head in the Sand

Sticking Your Head in the Sand

If you love clothes and shopping and hate politics you might want to skip to the 'About the Stuff' section today...sorry, not sorry. The title of the post is something I imagine the majority of the Tory leadership doing this morning and judging by  a few of the idiots they have rolled out on the [...]

Beat the Devil’s Tattoo

My friend Meri talked about politics on her blog yesterday...well in fact, she sort of apologised for talking about it but as someone who follows politics both my side, and the other side, of the pond, I found her post interesting and thought provoking. It made me feel a little guilty as ridiculing a particular [...]

Retreat in Peace

Retreat in Peace

It's been ironic that while building this set it's been absolutely tipping down in the UK as we've had two days of almost constant rain...and there's been nothing tropical about it.  There's been a few ironies in Second Life I've observed over the last few days too...and not the 'fly in chardonnay' type....that's just crappy [...]

Outside in or inside out? – Speed Edit Vlog

During her recent talk at the Blogger and Vlogger Network, Wendz Tempest talked about a recent increase in 'outside inside' photos of Second Life. It's something I had been oblivious to, but I really liked the examples Wendz gave and the links to her own work. I told her I was going to give it [...]

Time to Feel Good – Hive Speed Edit

Time to Feel Good – Hive Speed Edit

Camping trips as a child were fraught with irritations, bad weather and arguments but I still look back on them through rose tinted glasses. I do remember the bad but I remember firstly the good times. Playing badminton, long days at the beach, running around free for hours, making new friends who you would declare [...]
