March 7, 2009 (#87)- The Girls vs. Boys Show Originally aired March 22, 2008 Pink Meghan Vigeant – Independent producer, USA There’s no color more polarizing than pink. Some girls love it, some girls hate it. Some boys outwardly despise it, while secretly wishing they could wear it. There’s nothing lukewarm about pink. – Ibid I’m of the opinion that pink stinks. I’ve always hated the color, but many women (and Second Life female avatars) are really into pink. I’ve collected a fairly large wardrobe on Second Life, mostly by picking up free items in online treasure hunts, and recently…

There’s been another upgrade to Second Life, and I haven’t been online consistently in a couple of months. So I went online today to check in, pay rent, sort inventory; boring stuff to some, but for some reason the purposelessness is relaxing to me. While doing this I like to hang out somewhere with a good music stream. I’m currently located at the Gardens of Apollo[SLUrl link], and found that the nicely detailed gardens are now a bit too detailed for my “big” computer if I set the graphics display to “high,” and woefully undetailed if I set it at…

Right, right, right…. some actual blogging, rather than mere links shared lazyblogged via Google Reader. It was a late start, but David had made some good, strong coffee (and didn’t have to be prompted via Twitter) and I got to church in time for most of choir practice. I’d gotten word that the father of a good friend had died over the weekend, so the first thing I had to do was give her a hug and a smooch. Was surprised to see her standing at the rehearsal piano with the others, but she looked fine, and not wrecked, so…

I recently took another look for a Second Life IM client. There’s supposed to be something called SLim that’s official, but I bypassed it for something called AjaxLife, which I’d previously tried back when it was a light Web interface that just barely ran on my iPhone. It runs well on a normal computer, though. Now there’s a much better iPhone interface, which allows the user to log in, IM friends, and chat locally at whatever your default login location is. You can’t move your AV, so you should be sure you’re somewhere safe and not in the way. But…

Reuters/Second Life » Second Life on the Xbox/PS3/iPhone? Avatar Dusan Writer finds an interesting snippet of HTML code on search.secondlife.com which reads: “placeholer page for XBOX, PS3, and iPhone versions of client when they launch next real soon now†Now, we’re not banking on a Linden Lab-supported rollout of Second Life to game consoles and cell phones just yet. Veteran Second Life watchers may recall numerous incidents in which junior executives at Linden implemented policies the company later backpedaled from. I’m pretty sure this would be bad for me, although I wouldn’t mind being able to IM friends or appear…

The Original Unofficial Steve Earle Site Heard on Second Life (I hang out at Dancing Virtually events): Condi, Condi. Gotta get it. It works as political commentary, but it’s a really great reggae dance song.

ZHAO II And How To Make It a Personal Dance Machine Okay, this actually makes a certain amount of sense, except that I have multiple versions of the animation overrider, in folders with different outfits. If this makes no sense to you, relax, it’s a mini-post.

We’re in the family waiting room at the day surgery center, waiting for the surgery of our dear family member to finish so the surgeon can come in and give us an update. There will be at least a couple more hours waiting after that while the patient is in recovery, and we’re most of us pretty much here for the long haul today. Unlike last time, which was marred by the unseemly haste the patient was booted out after surgery, this time there’s more personal choice involved, and the option to stay for at least two or three days…
