Live Music in SL just got more interesting...

I will go ahead and put a full disclaimer up here before I begin. I am really picky about live music. In general. I am not talking SL. I just mean to say that I have a certain taste and that does not mean anything. Music is for everyone and not everyone is alike. BUT! That being said, it has been a long time since I have been excited about going to see someone perform in SL that didn't have Sean as a first name. This is a voice that reminds me of Death Cab for Cutie. Yum!

Well, I have gotten excited again. There is a new voice in town and his name is Quanah! I have yet to hear him live in SL yet as he only joined four days ago BUT... if this video I will include below is any sign.

I hope to god I get to hear a lot more.

LISTEN NOW or I will beat you senseless... (points below) DO IT!

A touch of color

Hey! I didn't manage to get bored about SL. How to say that....Here inside this painters palette, I have the feeeling as if I am standing beside Monet himself. To be part of the small touches of color, but even more to watch a living painting in which everything is animating. The feeling to sense all the vibrations on brush's hair under the artist's fingers when he's composing.

Off to Mt. Hood: An Autobiography of the Old Road

"It took us an hour and a half in those days to drive just from Rhododendron to Government Camp"

"How's the road?" That was the question that was most frequently asked of us who drove the motor stages over the old road to Mount Hood. It was a question that had to be answered differently to different people. If it were asked by an "oldtimer" who knew the road well, the answer was a simple "good" or "bad." If the questioner was a stranger, one had to find out what he considered a "bad" road to be. If he were a person used to mud and dust, corduroy and plank, bumps, sand and rocks, with trees here and there that nudged in close to the ruts, it was easy to give him an idea of the conditions that prevailed for the particular day. If he were not used to such things, it was far wiser to change the subject, else you might lose a passenger before ever getting started."

This is how Ivan M. Woolley describes driving to Mount Hood from Portland.  His first road trip from Portland to Mount Hood was with Bert Higley in his 1909 Peerless.  The followin year, during summer breaks from college, Mr. Woolley's acquired a job as a driver for a commercial car service.  In those days, most visitors would not drive their own vehicle on this somewhat sketchy road; they hired a driver.  And only the adventurous even made their way to the mountain.  It could be a multi-day trip, with the first day's drive from Portland to Sandy and the 2nd day's drive ending in Welches.  The most difficult part of the drive was to Government Camp where the road ended.

"Horseless Carriages" such as those seen in this August 1915 photograph will return to Government Camp on July 28, 2011 when the Horseless Carriage Club of America tours
Mount Hood and Timberline Lodge. Over 100 pre-1915 Horseless Carriages will travel a
portion of the Loop Highway proposed in 1915 and constructed in 1922. The drivers in
this photograph were promoting construction of the Mount Hood Loop Highway.
 

 
To learn more of the history of the history of driving to Mount Hood, you can read Ivan M. Woolley's book, Off to Mt. Hood, written in 1959, in full online.  The online version is scanned from the original book including several photos of early "horseless carriages" making their way along the Mt. Hood Highway during the early 20th century.

Welcome to Papermakis: A world where words come to life

Welcome to the world of Papermakis! Papermakis is the world of Romy Nayar and is curated and hosted by MetaLES. This is a sweet, story driven sim created with much love and inspiration.

I really enjoyed visiting here and taking a break to film.



Some things that you should know. The Papermakis are born from a tree. This tree is the essence of their lives. The trees are fed by the oxygen they produce, our imagination, and creation of the role in which they live. Every time a spot of ink drops on a sheet of paper, intentionally or unintentionally, this might cause the birth of a new tree. The language of the Papermakis is very curious. Each papermaki is unique and know only a single letter and so in order to speak they must speak as a team. That means one is completed by others and are always attentive to the thoughts of others.



The world of Papermakis is a must visit for the duration of the installation. I very much enjoyed it both visually and personally. If you are looking for something to do this week I suggest going here if you have not already. I really had meant to film here much sooner but there are a million things I "would like" to do that I just don't have all the time for! Anyhow. DO visit!

Karro Lean: FlaGraNce

As I travel through SL, I become enraptured. Sometimes there are places that make me feel as though I am dreaming. Transported,captivated by a feeling intact. Pure. So obvious,that it fills me and makes me feel how I am helpless. I am clumsy and unable to make the evanescence of my emotion. I think I'll stop here a while, trying to capture the essence of this place that inspires me and moves me so much.

Shivers Unleashed Musical Festival 2011

Shivers Unleashed Musical Festival 2011

Unlike your typical real life rock concert- where you need to put up with dire sound systems/run the risk of catching dysentery from the toilets/pay over the odds for a simple baguette- a visit to a Second Life festival is usually a more enjoyable (and less muddy) experience. At this time of year, the SL music scene seems to reflect that of real life, and is awash with weekend music events and summer festivals. It can be hard to choose which is actually worth going to see and unfortunately, most are, in fact, nothing more than lacklustre and glorified karaoke style tedium.

But starting on Friday 22nd July and running for a whole, glorious three days, the ‘Shivers Unleashed 2011’ festival will take place with a genuinely spectacular line-up featuring SL’s most credible and talented performers. It’s not often that you see musical acts of this calibre all appear on the same billing, and ‘Shivers Unleashed 2011’ promises to be a virtual event that will be unforgettable. Who needs the expense of Coachella?

See you in the virtual beer tent.

The Magic Of Second Life

I figured hey I work a lot so why not. Here is the film from my parcel this year at SL Birthday. Enjoy <3

Take a peek through "The Looking Glass"

It is not often I come across a sim that makes me feel calm and quiet. A place where composition of landscaping, sound, structure and overall ambiance are well balanced. The Looking Glass is a magical place full of hidden secrets and vast levels of exploration. From the skies to the caverns, there are places for many different people. Between Marcus' eye for fine art and Sharni's whimsical nature, this sim comes to life in ways many other sims fall short.



The Looking Glass is home to Marcus' gallery called "The Flying Eye". For fantasy and surreal type photographers and designers this is a gallery for you. The Flying Eye currently is hosting the works of J. Matthew Root (also known as Marcus Inkpen) but is open for artists who are interested in showcasing their work. For those of you who are very picky about where you display I think this gallery will suit your taste.


Another thing that I really loved about this sim is that what you see is not what you get. There are many hidden areas to explore that you might not see the first time you visit. This is a sim that you will really want to take some time to explore and appreciate. I have to say this is now one of my favorite sims in SL. I very much enjoy it here. Well, I will let the video do the rest of the talking for me as I am done ranting on The Looking Glass. This is just a standout sim and both Marcus and Sharni did an amazing job.

Things heat up with Ice

One of the things that really touch me in SL are the creations that come from the heart. Things that either tell stories or have hidden stories in them. Creations that are not meant just to be beautiful but are timeless. Rebeca Bashly's new ice creations really touched me. Dragons, Hearts, Captive Souls. Her new display at UTSA Artspace really made me feel quiet. The moment I arrived I sat on the floor, turned on some Olafur Arnalds, and just looked around. I have only included but a few of the sculptures seen at her new Gallery because I really only want to give a glimpse into the items that await you. Visit Rebeca's setup at UTSA to see all of them for yourself. This is a trip I promise that you will not regret making. Take a few photos or just enjoy yourself. These ice sculptures are just peaceful. I may be slightly biased but that does not change how beautiful these really are. Go now. Stop reading. Clicky the link below and see for yourself. I really dislike being long-winded it is just not my style but I promise you it is worth it.

Sledge Roffo: Primscape Dream

As an avid explorer I look for sims which touch and inspire me. On my journey through Second Life it important for me to share the pieces of it which I think may touch you as well. I would like to share with you a creation which I enjoyed very much. It is very surprising and immensely beautiful what Sledge Roffo has created in his universe "Primscape Dream". Palpable and moving. A whole world unto itself. Take a look into his universe. It is a sight to see. This sim was an intense immersive surprise for me.

Oregon’s Mt Hood Territory to host Episode for New TV Series Getting Away Together

New series showcases the ‘togethering’ trend of sharing vacation rentals with friends and family.

Getting Away Together, a new TV series airing on PBS member stations, is featuring Mt Hood, Oregon in an episode of the show’s premier season. Unlike other travel shows, Getting Away Together brings the concept of “togethering” to television. Getting Away Together will feature the benefits of staying in a professionally managed vacation home as well as travel tips for patrons visiting The Villages of Mt Hood. The show will be filmed at a Mt Hood Vacation Rental in Zigzag, Oregon as well as several locations throughout Clackamas County this month.

Slated to air in October 2011, the Getting Away Together series features a new group of travelers each episode as they unwind with meaningful travel experiences in fun locales, with vacation rentals as their home base. As this “togethering” trend continues, people are selecting vacation rentals for multi-bedroom accommodations and a sense of comfort under one roof.

The Vacation Rental Managers Association (VRMA) is introducing the show as part of its Discover Vacation Homes awareness initiative, together with series sponsors TripAdvisor®, CSA Travel Protection and 13 dynamic travel destinations.

“Getting Away Together is a unique opportunity to showcase the benefits of staying in a professionally managed vacation rental home and the remarkable attractions Oregon’s Mt Hood Territory features,” said Alex Risser, president of VRMA. “Staying in a professionally managed vacation rental home is a unique lodging option which allows families and friends to stay together, under one roof, in a fully furnished home. Patrons are able to have a comfortable, relaxed vacation while experiencing all facets the location offers,” said Risser.

Vacation rentals are one of the fastest-growing hospitality categories in North America, with groups of friends and families discovering them now more than ever. There are millions of vacation rental choices across North America, from individual owners to professional companies who maintain and service vacation rental properties and their guests each day which includes all of the proper inspections, secure reservation services, housekeeping, landscaping, laundry, etc. Professional vacation rental companies provide all the benefits of other lodging options with additional amenities and value, including extra values or coupons for local activities, shopping and dining, as well as free rental cars, gift cards, home features and more.

“One of the core issues facing the vacation rental industry remains the lack of awareness surrounding the lodging option,” Risser said. “Getting Away Together is an ideal outlet for increasing awareness and serves as an educational tool for traveling patrons, which in turn, increases tourism revenue dollars for each destination the series features.”

The series is being produced by the Emmy Award-winning PineRidge Film & Television Company, who has proven travel series success with Great Hotels, Great Vacation Homes, Passport to Europe and more. Getting Away Together portrays the professionally managed vacation rental experience in an authentic and informative manner.

See you there!

Virtual World Web

By Clair LaVaye (Clairwil Oh in SL, OSG, and Reaction Grid)

There is a growing universe of virtual worlds, simulation grids that will be linked together in a seamless whole. A search engine will develop that will allow visitors to the virtual worlds to teleport to whatever they seek. A communication relay system will develop that will allow “long distance” chat between, for example, residents of Reaction Grid, OS Grid, and perhaps even Second Life.

A new way of life has already begun. Just as it was with the Internet, early adopters are misunderstood and ridiculed. But before long, a large population will occupy the grids as users recognize their utility. Lives will be transformed as the grids evolve. As a handful of talented people develop the technology, the grids will generate a tremendous amount of revenue as a new economy emerges.

These connected grids are so new that there is no standardized term to describe them. I suggest the term Virtual World Web (VWW). Some might prefer Virtual Reality World Web (VRWW), but acronyms with four initials are awkward. A familiar acronym might help to speed understanding and acceptance of the new virtual connected worlds.

Most us are so familiar with the WWW that we simply call it the web,
so perhaps we should just call it the virtual web.

The virtual web will develop far beyond what the current users of Second Life and open-sim grids experience today. Perhaps the virtual environment will be displayed on giant screens or maybe it will develop as a holographic display. However the technology develops, the virtual web will surround us, wrapping us in colors, sights, sounds, and sensations. It will provide us with new ways of learning that are more akin to how we learn in real life, adding to the education toolbox that already contains print and electronic books, art, music, science, and the current web, bringing our culture fully borne into a 3D world where everything is at our digital fingertips.

We'll meet our friends and family there, however far we are separated by real-world distance. We'll visit there, share experiences and talk as we do in real life. We'll shop together, travel to new worlds together, learn together, watch movies and listen to music together, dance, love, and possibly even make war there. Time and space will mean less, as we will move through distances at the blink of an eye and even choose our virtual age.

Why we are “on the computer” so much
In business on the web, there is much effort made to get as many eyeballs as possible to look at your website. There is talk of stickiness and discussion about how to keep someone engaged in a particular web network. Facebook is a good example of an online application that has been successful in capturing a world of users who spend many hours hanging around a virtual cocktail party made up of intentional communities, chatting socially and exchanging information.

For those who become immersed in a virtual world, time spent interacting with a computer takes on a different meaning. It's like asking someone "Why are you spending so much time in Paris?" You are in a place, not staring at a flat computer screen. You live in the virtual web.

It’s not something that can be explained. Interacting with a virtual world changes the brain, permanently, as dendrites grow and form connections, making sense of a new three-dimensional space that is on the other side of the screen. Once you grow that brain space, you are not the same. It’s akin to taking hallucinogens, because your mind changes. Either you get it, or you don’t. And like the web, those who won’t or can’t comprehend it will fall behind.

Virtual worlds such as Second Life are not just a social experiment or a new business model. They are mind-mapping, epistemological enterprises where people are re-creating the external world inside digital devices. And just think what will happen when we start to break the rules of physics and create worlds that are go beyond merely recreating the familiar external world. The remapping of the mind is in its infancy, with much work to be done.

But for now, the next logical step is to link the simulations together, just as the web linked text information into one whole. The hypergrid system is doing this.

And, for the business minded, if you can build an interesting, pleasant simulated environment that will keep virtual visitors hanging around, you might have a marketable skill for the new economy.

Search and you [may] find…
Those new to the web take powerful search software like Google for granted, unaware of a time when the only way to find subject matter on static webpages was to follow links posted on individual pages. This primitive link following is mirrored in virtual worlds in "profile picks." Many read the picks of avatars they encounter, teleporting randomly based on the recommendations in the picks. The crude search function inside current viewers like Phoenix, Imprudence, and the SL viewers allow users to search by keywords, like Google, and have algorithmic attempts to sort for the most relevant locations. Just like in Web searches, users try to game the system to push their location higher in search. But these search engines are limited to searching within one grid. With hypergrid, the need for hypersearches has arrived.

In the hypergrided, linked open-sim worlds, the person who is first able to create an effective search engine that can be used both in and out of world will possess the first useful virtual web’s Google. That future search engine will drive the economy in the virtual worlds.

Squabbles over virtual world flavors and content need to cease
When I go online to research more about open sims, I find posts where writers take turns putting down “empty” open-sim grids such as OS Grid or “walled gardens” such as Second Life. It sounds a bit like the argument from the past about Facebook versus Myspace. Second Life was the first well-known rollout of simulation software. Now the open-source software is in the wild, running on thousands of computers, without an effective system (yet) to link it together seamlessly and a search mechanism so that users can find what they are looking for.

Currently, there is not as much content in the open-sim grids, in part due to ownership disputes on content built in Second Life and fear of losing control of content. Some of the items in dispute are old freebees from the first years of SL. To me, ownership disputes seem laughable, like children arguing over toy blocks. Some of the fussing comes down to a handful of Photoshop textures or sets of cylinders rezzed with a skirt prim generator.

It is a waste of energy to argue about content that soon will be outmoded. One of the most interesting aspects of the current osgrid is that content is free and, if you are willing to set up your own sim, your prim limit is almost unlimited. Free is good and anyone willing to donate some of their older SL content to the open sims is my idea of a new-world champion.

We will look back on the primitive tools currently used to build content for 3D worlds as the Stone Age for virtual worlds. New methods are evolving to create environments and content that will far surpass what we see today.

I won’t say more about content protection, as it is the subject for another essay. But content protection will come to the open sims. It’s just one more technical problem to solve.

As quickly as the content issue is solved, the virtual web economy will rise up, much stronger than anything so far seen in Second Life. So, a word to content creators: get busy exporting your content from SL and be ready to set up shop in the virtual web.

The future is here, get into it
Here’s some links to find out more about open sim development and about hypergrid, which is currently developing to link the grids. Like the early days of the web, you can start by setting up a sim on your own computer. If you are willing to leave it running 24/7, you can link it up to a grid and set up hypergrid — or you can run in standalone mode and link to the grids using hypergrid. It’s pretty entertaining to see avatars walking around inside of your computer. Yes, it’s techno-geeky, but it you are up for a little challenge, the rewards are worth the learning curve.
