First there was issue on “rules and regulations” appearing after the fact which had many people caught between a rock and a hard place-having already paid registration, bought airline tickets,etc. Now there is a big to do over an additional questionable agreement needing to be signed. Wow what happened to going to hang out and meet virtual friends in person and just plain fun? Yeesh. Everyone is just Phreaking out here.

77 Million Paintings

June 30, 2007 10:24 pm


Yeah, gotta love that title. In my case love most anything from Brian Eno. This SL representation of his newest work here. Very nicely orchestrated by the Blue Air TV people. The exhibit is spread over 4 different sim locations. Angrybeth Shortbread (Annabeth Robinson in RL) and Cyrus Huffhines(Bryan Campen in RL) have both done excellent work here to evoke the feel of Eno’s visual and shifting aural piece.
