Investigate the New Media
I was recently directed to “The Magus” by John Fowles. It’s a book that you’ll either love or hate, but its significance isn’t in its merit as a work of fiction. Many people on the outer rim of new media’s entertainment circles look to this book as the genesis of a […]
Every time I see a picture of Nick (57 Miles in Second Life) he looks like a completely different person. I should make a gallery someday… “the many faces of Nick”. Something about the way the camera catches him.
Always good to see the boss-man get some well deserved press. The show is The Virtual Worlds […]
Warning: this trailer is really, really graphic.
Really. I’m not kidding. Do not hit play unless you want to see lots of blood.
It’s not like this level of gore is new to the indie film scene. Crazy flying bucket-fulls of blood have been the easiest way for indie films to stand out. Unfortunately, since they all […]
I love my job!
I don’t usually blog about work here but this was just too sweet not to comment on. Clever Zebra’s first big project, “Zebra Corporate”, released version 0.1 yesterday. There’s me and Lordfly hanging out on stage, answering questions about GPLv3, open source, and the worthiness of giving out something and encouraging […]
Launches Saturday night. I got a sneak peek from Dizzy Banjo the other day. This is not an exaggeration: Parsec is the most staggering audio / visual interactive experience in Second Life. Period.
Wouldn’t you know it, my weekend is jammed… but as soon as I can I’ll have some machinima up here. Meanwhile, you can […]
Time for a video roundup.
First up: Hitler Explains Second Life.
That was courtesy of Magrathean I believe. Good guys.
Next, DiVAS - Episode #3.
Lastly, Georgia Tech. & Ludwig Maximillian U. bring us some mixed reality goodness in two videos that, together, I’m calling “Second Life’s Invasion Of Reality“.
Oh so cool.
Harper’s voice carries across worlds.
When Linden Lab was first announcing that they were bringing voice to Second Life, it bothered me. Actually, I was ticked right off.
For the most part I was just sick of the grid crashing, massive lag, and an overall disappointing experience around the grid. We kept complaining, and they kept rolling […]
Annie Ok has been creating even more vLES videos, and they’re damn hot. The stream above should update itself automatically as she ads more - there are another 7 videos available as of the time of this writing. Indie music hotness.
My first time shooting video so be kind here…
Death is a hard fact of life to deal with under any circumstances. It’s not surprising, then, that a great deal of effort has been put toward death art and ritual. For those curious about that type of thing I highly recommend the book “Phantasmagoria” by Marina […]

After what seemed like a really long wait I finally got a chance to take a spin around vLES. It’s a detailed rendering of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and they just opened up the second Alpha.
The big feature of vLES is in indie chique. Clubs and record stores in the Lower […]
