Tomorrow begins year 3 of Lost in Bananaverse. Oh my…..
As I reflected on this passage of time, I went back and reviewed my first entry which was called “The End” and found this:
The reason the start of Lost in Bananaverse is called The End is very simple.
For the last two years, I have left [...]

So when we gave up the sims back in November, we purchased [...]

Funny Noob
December 24th, 2009 · No Comments
Not going to reveal names, but a Second Life Noob sent me a message the other day. The message was simple and to the point.
Your purple textures are clashing with this sim. How about you change them to peaches or yellows.
This message was in reference to the small office the Meta Magic Studio has in [...]

Meta Magic Studio to Close Second Life sims
November 11th, 2009 · No Comments
Last night Meta Magic Studio came to a tough decision, we could no longer keep supporting our four simulators in Second Life due to a lack of revenue. While we still believe in Second Life and the opportunities it presents, we can not just keep shelling out money to Linden Lab without clients. And currently [...]

Virtual Worlds in a Virtual Standstill
October 28th, 2009 · No Comments
The last few months, all of my clients that had been involved in Second Life and other virtual world pursuits including Open Sim development have all stopped their efforts. It is amazing to go from busy to dead so quickly, very much like the web development collapse in the 1990’s. A part of me [...]

Things I Think as of Today

Time for another Things I Think as of Today, and as always they are subject to change.
Random
Doesn’t matter how talented Roman Polanski is, he had sex with a drugged up 13 year old.
One thing I learned on my Jury Duty, under 16 is REAL bad in California.

The 49ers have been a very pleasant surprise this [...]

Old January Look
Back in January of this year, I started a rebuild of Los Arboles. While I liked most of my work, I was never happy with the art-deco bridge and escalator and the whole MMS office look and layout just never did it for me. But with limited time available in January, I just [...]

Dancing Bananaphant
March 2nd, 2009 · No Comments
I just finished up a test machinima using the Second Life platform. I was looking at the a few issues such as light source, shadows, frame rates, textures, animations and just how many shots are really needed to make a four minute film. I learned lots putting together “Dancing Bananaphant” which took about three hours [...]

Freaking Big Box
February 14th, 2009 · No Comments
I have received a few inquires about the big box on Meta Magic Studio sim. Most of the inquires have been polite, though one person asked “what the fuck” I was doing with such a big box.
