It feels great to finally properly unleash this on the grid. When all was said and done, the official release of Zebra Corporate included:

A 60-seat amphitheater
A mini version of the 60-seat amphitheater
A 120-seat amphitheater meant to straddle two sims
A small office building
A large office building
A “galleria” (a curved building good for displaying content)

I’m not about to dive into a censorship debate. If you’re interested in that, go find another blog. There’s really only one thing you can count on when it comes to opinions: everybody’s got one, which means that there just isn’t much of a market demand for them. I’ll just save it for now.

For the past month I’ve been hitting the keyboard pretty hard, although you really can’t see the fruits of my efforts in publicly yet. I’ve been trying to get Zebra Corporate out of the way and the vBusiness Expo rolling. This means 10 […]

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 […]
