SL Fashion, Things & Stuff
It's been one of those questions round a dinner party table...If you had to lose one sense out of sight or hearing which would you choose? I'll state right now that my preference if put in that position would be to lose my sight. I adore sound. I love music...I couldn't bear the thought of [...]
"Aren't we a pair of old cynics" I said to a friend over the weekend as we talked doom and gloom about the state of the average SL friendship and relationship. Don't get me wrong I'm not a negative person in any shape or form but I am quite pragmatic when it comes to a [...]
Only people that have never experienced online friendships think they aren't real. They are certainly different from conventional friendships but only in the sense that the communication platforms used are different. A lot more written communication in the form of IM's, emails etc and a lot of less verbal communication and occasionally face-to-face communication via [...]
You'd have to be of a certain age and probably a Brit to understand the title of today's post. It goes back to a 1980's British Telecom TV advertisement for international direct dialing...specifically promoting calling Australia. It advertised that you could call Australia for £2.97 for 3 minutes that would be around £10 now. It really [...]
I'm putting together a DJ set for later today right now and I'm being hampered by a song that totally doesn't fit the set but won't get the hell out of my head. It's Corinne Bailey Rae's 'Put Your Records On' . It's a pretty 'feel good' tune and maybe that's why it's stuck in [...]
I was chatting with my friend Sady the other day about the music I play at my DJ sets and it got me thinking about how to get the right balance for the audience at my sets. This isn't about what genre of music you play, though for the record, my preference is for alternative [...]
I have to admit that this week completely escaped me. I was super productive on a number of products and in real life and I managed to take lots of pictures to blog but struggled to find the time to write posts to go alongside the pictures. So over the weekend I'll be taking the [...]
It's Roald Dahl's birthday today - he would have been 100 years old and on the radio this morning they were discussing favourite parts of Roald Dahl books. Just a couple of weeks after Willy Wonka was in the news after the sad death of Gene Wilder it had me thinking about the film. I [...]
Do you have a favourite place in the whole world? I do....I love Italy but it's a big place and there is a huge difference between the experience in the south to in the north...I've been to...Lake Garda, Verona, Venice, Lido de Jesolo, Sorrento, Rome, Capri, Naples and most of the towns on the Amalfi [...]
I've had a rather lovely weekend in SL so far though I've been keeping a keen eye (aka as a second screen) on the Olympics. I'm totally in awe of the commitment that the athletes show to their sport. The hours upon hours that they put into training and getting to optimum fitness and shape [...]
