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 [...]

Second Live Viewer 2.0
February 24th, 2010 · 1 Comment
After a long, long, long, long wait, the long promised / rumored Second Life Viewer 2.0 has arrived in Beta. So I immediately downloaded it.
Just a couple of initial thoughts and questions and observations:
Overall Viewer Layout
I am a huge fan of KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid. My initial impression is that Linden Lab has [...]

468 Prims
January 27th, 2010 · No Comments
Back when Meta Magic Studio had two sims, the use of prims was rarely a subject. While I am a firm believer in less is better especially when it comes to prims, having access to thousands of prims allowed me to build and build.
So when we gave up the sims back in November, we purchased [...]

Virtual vs Physical Banana
January 7th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Lots of comments about my profile picture that was updated yesterday. Cheerie wanted to point out what the new virtual world look was based on my physical world look; well kinda. All I know is that the Physical World Banana needs to go on a diet.

Banana Stein Annual Picture

Last year Cheerie updated my profile picture in January, so this being January 2010, she has worked up one. This year we went with my gray hair and dark soul patch that I sport in the physical world. Though I refuse to allow my avatar to have as much weight that I do.

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 [...]

Farwell Los Arboles
November 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Back in December 2006, Los Arboles was born in the metaverse of Second Life. For the last three years, it has been my home and work place. Many of my friends do not understand the connection one can create in virtual worlds, so this might not seem like a big thing. For those that do [...]

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 [...]

Half Thoughts on Blogs and Virtual World Drama
May 9th, 2009 · No Comments
Are people more willing to bash some one because we are not as exposed as in the physical world?
I just read Prad Prathivi of Metaversally Speaking blog entry So Long, and Thanks for all of the Fish! and I am sad. Sad that Second Life is losing a great blogger. And sad that individuals with [...]
