SL Newser: Commentary: Should Bad News Not be Told?- Bixyl Shuftan Reporting..


This summer, we got contacted by a reader concerning some articles we were reading. It wasn't about accuracy, but rather the content. We had published some articles about residents being less than pleasant to others, and she expressed worry that we were making the Grid less attractive to those who hadn't yet tried Second Life, and would be steered away from giving it a try.

Real-life 3D printing of Second Life © Designs – Stareyes Galaxy Reporting…


Three-dimensional (3D) printing of small objects at home has become a popular hobby for wannabe designers, and this shows also in the new technology “hype” statistics.



Anything from decorative and hard-to-find spare parts to the constituent parts of the printer itself can be manufactured using mesh designs and an export file for the printer in question. Second Life © (SL) is also a viable platform for viewing the designs before printing them in 3D, and now also designs made for SL can be printed in glorious 3D for real-life (RL) use. Stareyes Galaxy discussed the technology and real-life examples of SL jewelry with Joja Dhara and Maxi Gossamer.

Squinternet Larnia - rest in peace lovely lady



Dedicated to the talented designer Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora - who has sadly lost her battle against cancer.







Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave bereft
I am not there. I have not left.

 - Mary Elizabeth Frye -


In late 2011, Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora, thought she was suffering from repetitive stress injury, but in that December she learned that the aching in her bones was not from working on the computer but from breast cancer that had metastasized into her bones.  She surprised everyone by rallying at the time. She pursued alternative therapies that gave her energy and strength. They did not cure the cancer, but for a time they managed it. She outlasted her doctor’s prognosis by more than a year
Squinternet you will be missed by all your friends and the SL fashion industry as a whole.

The Guitar Museum of Second Life ©- Stareyes Galaxy Reporting...



Many sims in Second Life © (SL) are created as a homage to some phenomenon or another, in all walks of life. 

Many times, these sites are a great way to educate oneself on the history and present state of the art of the topic at hand. Stareyes Galaxy went to see the Guitar Museum and to interview its creators, Bono Fouroux, Angel La Femme, and Veronica Weksler. Bono is a well-known guitarist himself, and Veronica sings live on SL. They sometimes have duo performances, combining their streams from The Netherlands and Ohio.

Technology: Oculus Rift – a New Virtual Reality Viewing Accessory- Stareyes Galaxy Reporting…


Oculus Rift is a new virtual reality (VR) viewing accessory that is designed to give VR gamers a new level of user experience. 

The device development was initially financed by Kickstarter, and demonstrator units are now available for developers, together with a software development kit (SDK). Linden Lab is looking into porting this VR experience to Second Life © (SL) users, but there is still a way to go before we can expect the first avatars to enter SL using an Oculus Rift viewer. Stareyes Galaxy had the opportunity to test the demonstrator.

The technology behind the Oculus Rift is quite straightforward. It uses a 6” liquid-crystal display (LCD) and enlarging optics for both eyes. A personal computer (PC) is used to send the viewable content to the display. The user then sees a stereoscopic view of the VR content, as both eyes get their own view, separated by the perspective. The optics focus on the display surface itself, but the perspective seems to be set in infinity. The rendering for the display is done by means of the software, for each eye separately. The viewer uses the same content that is rendered on the PC screen.

What to Wear by the Avatars of Second Life- Tea Couturier Reporting..

In Second Life we can easily see what avatars like to wear but to actually know what they are actually wearing in SL you have to ask them.

So that is what I did. I hopped around different sims across the grid looking at what people wore and asking them what stores they love to shop at.

The Original PopRocks Music Club :Poppin’ at PopRocks- Ccoursey Reporting…





The Original PopRocks Music Club is a small club I happened to come up on one night looking for something to do.  I was drawn in by the flashy colors and stayed for the friendly, relaxed atmosphere

 BonappetitLaTease should be a proud owner of her small establishment.  There’s something to catch the eye on every wall.  From the neon colors to the pictures of old movies and stars, it is a fun club.

 Not only because of the people, it is the atmosphere itself. Poprocks is the perfect size for a club. It is small enough to keep conversation flowing through the whole room and large enough that you are not bumping into the other patrons.

Meet the Talented Criss Fredriksson- Tea Couturier Reporting...



In Second Life we all have our favourite performer who we go to listen to when we are logged in and want to relax listening to some good music.  Criss Fredriksson is one of those performers. With a growing fan base Criss is gaining strength and momentum and becoming a household name within the SL music industry. 

You know he's good if he stopped Lanai in her tracks.

I wanted to know how it all started for Criss in SL, so sat down with him between rehearsals to find out.

The CTS Wardrobe: Visual Clothing and Inventory Organizer- DoctorKaren Kanto Reporting…




Full disclosure: I have owned the CTS Wardrobe from Carlyle Theas
Solutions for many years now, and find it to be a most valuable utility,
second only to my AO. I am often on the Wardrobe support group helping
people accomplish their goals with the Wardrobe. I love the thing.







Simply put, the CTS Wardrobe is a device for seeing, organizing and
wearing clothes and other items from your inventory. It solves the problem
of "What does that piece of clothing look like?" by creating a visual
inventory, readily accessible from in-world.

SPOTLIGHT FEATURE: SICK BUBBLEGUM TEXTURES- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…



Textures in Second Life are not only a big deal to builders but they play a huge role in creating the atmosphere for any location in the virtual world as well as aid in personal style. 

Everywhere we look, there are textures used to add character to any object. From detailed builds to the clothes your avatar wears, textures make it all possible.  Mauve Binder is a seasoned texture creator that has been in Second Life for over 6 years. Her creative designs are proudly displayed at her shop; Sick Bubblegum Textures. The SL Enquirer met up with Mauve to talk about her textures and what inspires her unique designs.
