Adventures in Suffugium

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

I was recently introduced to the delightfully-dystopian SL build of Suffugium. The New World Notes describes it as “Donald Trump meets George Orwell”, and I’d have to agree. It’s dark, oppressive and a lot of fun. There’s plenty to do and explore–to clarify for you cynics, that’s plenty of non-porn things to do–from avoiding the roving police drones to wandering through the twisting sewer maze.


All visitors are requested to give a handscan id. Don’t worry if you miss it; the police droids will find you for an obligatory scan soon enough!

Areum Starport

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Well, I finally broke ground on the starport in SL.

I started with some robot minions. I figured this is going to be a big job, so the first logical thing to make is some help.

The second thing I made is a crate. 😀

Practical Use of Virtual Worlds

Friday, December 14th, 2007

From Reuters:

Instead of jetting over to Bali for climate talks, Edward Markey (a Democrat from Massachusetts) will use a 3-D animated version of himself to address the conference at 9.30 am on Wednesday Bali time. It is estimated Markey will save 5.36 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by doing this.

Watch the speech or the Q&A.

So Many (Virtual) Shoes, So Little Time

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Given the ability to fly, move mountains and create literally anything I want, once again I find myself doing the only known thing a woman in my position could do:
buying shoes! Ooooh, and stripey socks. Yum. I love virtual worlds.

Ironically, I only own one pair of flats, one pair of heels and one pair of boots in real life–and they are all plain black. Go figure.
