They came out of the TREES, man..

Filed under: Uncategorized — Sio @ 11:25 pm

Imperial 83,156,207 – This is truly a beautiful place. Mind you, I took this SLurl from up in a spaceship, so you might want to fly…but it’s at such a magnificent vantage point over this gorgeously-huge tree. It has a face…and huge mushrooms to sit on. This is truly a sight to behold!  UPDATE:  The tree is gone.  Someone should have called up the planning commission, dammit.  Arrrgh.

Oooh, what to WEAR?

Demonic Empire 141,129,25 – Wow, lots of interesting clothes and gear, plenty of it with a sci-fi spin that’ll fit in with lots of different environments!

Imperial 97,179,346 – Saw a great big forest in Imperial!

Cecropia 115,74,31 – Jumped ship, and hopped a train through Cecropia!

Oneiros 106,133,28 – The Old Curiosity Shop is full of some of the most amazingly detailed objects I’ve ever seen. Craftsmanship of great polish and precision that astound me. If you want beautiful works of art — antiques in a digital age — check this place out!

Dance Dance Evolution

Filed under: Uncategorized — Sio @ 2:48 am

Ryder Park 202,105,23 – A while back, we found a serious dance floor, and some club lighting on SLX…the dance floor is amazing, but HUGE, and no copy. The lights are complicated, and no copy. The whole shooting match takes up a lot of prims, so we don’t keep it rezzed anywhere. But I found some nice lights and dance-floor stuff, that doesn’t eat a lot of money or prims, in a corner of Silentfox Designs in Ryder Park. Bought a couple of things, just to keep ’em around.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Primouth 104,110,30 – My God, It’s Full of Cars… Primouth is a wild sim with some of the most beautifully-built automobiles I have ever seen in SL to date. The crafting is magnificent — no simple textures on a flat dashboard here! But they won’t break your prim-bank, as they are attachments. Just wear them and drive away. Many of these gloriously appointed vehicles have flight modes, as well as tintable windows and color-change menus. If you haven’t seen these before, stop by for a look!

Sometimes, you just need a tree

Filed under: Uncategorized — Sio @ 2:37 pm

Alcona 148,174,106 – Mikey’s Plant World looks like any old SL nursery at first — trees, plants, shrubs, flowers…except there’s a difference. I wanted some trees that were copyable, so I could rez them when I wanted, as many as I wanted, not just a single “arrangement” that might get nuked by the asset server, and his Mikey’s has lots of copy-enabled trees and plants available. Worth a look!

Sio’s Walkabouts, 2/13/2008

ama gi 29,43,22 – Well, this is pretty, and there’s some nice information boards for Debian Linux here. A nice building in the shape of a Linux Cluster floats over a little lagoon, and the interior of the building houses group seating and is textured in stained glass. A delightfully artistic setting!

Periwinkle 45,122,38 – Fascinating! There’s a railroad running from Purple to Bhaga and all over. You get your own trains and run them on the tracks, which run over right-of-ways on protected land. This station is in Periwinkle, and is especially beautiful.

The Omega Concern

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — Maggie @ 3:30 am

The Omega Concern 189,46,37 – This is the main store of The Omega Concern, source of quite possibly the finest personal defensive and weapons systems (from a compact yet fully-capable handgun up to an M1A1 Main Battle Tank) and other scripted products anywhere on the grid. Craftsmanship and product support here are superb. Also here you will find the Omega Combat System and the Fulda Gap RP area.

TalTech Weapons

Galleria 117,201,406 – One of SL’s finer weapons shops, with a very wide selection, recent renovations and an elaborate weapons range.

The Dr. Who Experience

Katrina 132,187,27 – Apropos of our post about Cheshyr’s Landing at Gallifrey there is also “The Dr. Who Experience”, with a large SF-themed shopping area and (under construction) an amazing replica of the Cardiff secret offices of “Torchwood”. (Post by Maggie)
