Tech Expo
Yadni’s Crazy Techs
Leda 115,122,66 – Yadni’s Crazy Tech store has vendors for a wide variety of products that will appeal to the geek, nerd, SF fan or otaku in you.
Caledon, Steampunk central
Caledon 194,183,23 – While I do not always find every manifestation labelled “steampunk” appealing, The Independant State of Caledon is well wrth the time spent for a visit. The builds are visually stunning, harmonious, interesting and well-thought out. Don’t miss Ordinal Malaprop’s lighthouse shop, Marconi, Maxim and Tesla Associates, or any of a dozen other places there I haven’t even been yet.
I should add as a postscript that Caledon is actually four adjacent sims.

Cheshyr’s Landing at Gallifrey
Gallifrey 128,164,567 – Dr. Who fans in particular, and science-fiction fans of all kinds will love this magnificent space station build by Cheshyr Pontchartrain of Novatech fame. It’s elaborate, beautiful, and has some of the best vendors of SF-related wares on the grid.
Our Home
Nogojiri 11,209,21 – note This is Faithhold, our place on the water in Nogojiri. A quarter of it is public, the part with the garden, trees, and stargates. The other three-quarters are private, protected by a polite security system. The public area is nice to watch sunsets from, and benches are there for that purpose.
