Holy Moly and Great Gonzo Garbonzo Beans!

Today the Lost Gardens of Apollo have closed down for public viewing due to a financial crisis and high tier costs sustained by the owner of the simulation, Dane Zander. There is a last plee of hope being sent out to Linden Lab at this time. If the call is answered, the simulation could be saved. [...]

I wasn’t out looking for trouble last week… It was a nice night to go hang gliding and so I chose the peaceful location of Amydria, a very nice water-front community with boats, docks, and decent food. I started my descent at 4500 meters dropped from a Space Harrier that was in the neighborhood. As I [...]

Massively has just posted a 34 minute audio interview with Rod Humble. I listened to it while eating some vanilla ice cream because I couldn’t sleep.

Second Life Graphics Engine Needs Overhaul

With the recently released Unreal Engine 3 Tech Demo, we are once again reminded of how badly Second Life needs a graphics overhaul. Hopefully, Rodvik Linden will be addressing the Second Life graphics deficiencies in 2011. If I might make a suggestion, perhaps a graphics engine that is on par with the Unreal Engine 3 [...]
China, Come to Second Life Now

The more I read about China being censored, the more I think China should have a larger presence in Second Life. A while back, China did the most despicable thing and arrested over 5,300 people for having porn websites, and we know China blocks Youtube, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., but perhaps China isn’t blocking or censoring [...]

Holy Performance Upgrades! Second Life Viewer 2.5 Beta 1 is out with a whopping potential “30% increase in decoding images, which should translate to a visible improvement in rezzing time for complex scenes.” The reason for the performance boost is supposedly related to the older Kakadu library.
