    Anyone Need A Lift In The Expanse?

    G+: Anyone Need A Lift In The Expanse? These 3D .OBJ files are downloadable – and with a little work in Blender, they could be realized in Second Life as "full size" ships. Someone with better Blender skills than I currently have would have to do it, but that spacesuit… I might play around with rigging it. It's a CC-attribution license.

Tricky, as if the plugin he recommends doesn’t work for fan pages, I’m screwed. I administer several different accounts (including a church…

    G+: Hipster Santa spotted in Portland OR. He rides a spiffy red bike and has a man-bun. How do we feel about this? I actually like his "cool Grandpa" vibe, and little kids might find him more approachable and less scary. AND CHECK OUT THE HOMAGE to the classic PDX airport carpet on the settee! That's so awesome, as anyone who flew into Portland for the holidays in the last few decades will recognize. When that carpet was replaced, people wanted pieces of it for nostalgic souvenirs. Kevin Swan, Debbie Wynn, Aleta Zak, Arne Jamtgaard, and all my Oregon friends:…
