Magnum: The Machinima Review-Voices in the Dark- Sonicity Fitzroy

Reflections through Machinima:





The 20th Anniversary of the 1992 LA Riots...April 29th-May 4th.


I have to admit as much as I advocate machinima as a wonderful storytelling format, I do think one should seriously consider what platform might best serve to present a message or simply reach an audience. In 2009, my book KJLH-FM and the Los Angeles Riots of 1992: Compton's Neighborhood Station in the Aftermath of the Rodney King Verdict (McFarland), I wrote the story of one African-American radio station (owned by Stevie Wonder) and its crew that reported on the civil unrest as it unfolded in front of the broadcast studio.

SL Newser News- SOPA Act Two? CISPA to be Decided in US House as Soon as Today - Bixyl Shuftan Reporting...

Remember the mess over SOPA in December and January? This proposed law had the potential for becoming "The Great Firewall of America," possibly meaning the end of favorite places online such as Youtube, Facebook, and Second Life. Despite a Congress seemingly poised to approve it, opposition to it and it's sister bill PIPA grew in numbers. The backers of SOPA eventually shelved it from a vote, and the opponents had seemingly won.

THE STAR TREK SAGA CONTINUES IN NEW ERIDANI SL SHOWCASE - Troy Aristocarnas Reporting...

Beam Me Up Scotty

The Star Trek Museum of Science, established in-world by Sabri Picard in 2006, remains at full throttle (if not at warp speed), though it has moved to a single island in-world. “We downsized last year (2011),” said Wabisabi Matahari, the museum’s curator and Benevolent Dictator. “No more room,” she added when this deadline beater inquired about the model starships that were part of the original exhibit. “(It) just got way too expensive and donations dried up,” the amiable dictator revealed.

Akasha talks about her introduction to Second Life and her modeling career:

Titanic: Truly ‘A night to remember’- Mariella Anna Reporting...

Although small in comparison to modern cruise ships, in 1912 Titanic stood alone in terms of sheer scale, opulence and luxury. Titanic evokes an age of excess, of unimaginable luxury, quality and obvious displays of wealth and status. It was the  ‘Belle Epoque’ which was to last up until  up until the first world war,  before in Europe at least, class and privilege were fragmented and changed  forever.  In the last moments of the Titanic the division of wealth, and position on the social scale was acutely illustrated by the fact that only 25% of third class passengers survived.

In 1912 the most expensive first-class suite on the Titanic cost $4,350 the staggering equivalent of $75,000 today- remembering tickets were only and rather ironically sold one way.  In comparison, those travelling on a third class ticket were also subjected to a level of luxury they probably had never experienced before, certainly they would have had to invest a lifetime of savings for the crossing, in the hopes of a new life in America.  

Having arrived at the Titanic exhibit prior to boarding the ship itself, I was struck by the attention to detail given to create the exhibition centre with its various Titanic artifacts, pictures of the ship during construction and explanatory notes, sculpted china and even a first class menu giving a glimpse of life on board.  A scale mode of the ship in a glass display case gave no clue as to what actually awaited us once we’d boarded.

Into the Cauldron- Luc Fray Reporting...

[Hera and Zeus devotional]

 

Some weeks ago, I had accidentally come across the school Sacred Cauldron on SL search. The description interested me as it stated that it is a virtual pagan academy. Curious, I asked my editor if I could cover a story on it. When I finally got the go signal, I went on to request a short interview on Sacred Cauldron's Dean, Dean Belladonna Laveau, and two of the school's students,  Tea Tephi and Sapphire Chaosus.
