Second Life, as seen in different colours

I was browsing through my SL pictures and found there’s lots of different colours. Here are some impressions in colour.

In green, of course there’s some Mowgly Soy and Greenies!

The story of Phill and kai in space… part 2

I’m just playing about a bit in psp, doing what might look like a comic. It’s still about our explorations in an SL space sim.

The last installment, I did one picture comic, which you had to click on. This time I’ll paste several pictures. All thumbnails, so, please click one by one to see

     

  

The story of Phill and kai in space

One of our explorations took us to a spacestation. This is the short story of Phill and kai, spacecadets

Boy, are we adventurous! (click to read)

Explorations

Since I am at work, but don’t have a hole lot to do at the moment, I decided to go and post some pictures from explorations in SL (there are lots more pictures to be seen on my flickr pages).

Usually we (Phill and I) end up in places other people recommend, sometimes we go on a wander and just randomly walk around sims.

Greenies, one of the most amazing places in SL. Little green aliens, lost in a big world with new things.

At Swaffe and Jammy’s playground :D. Don’t think we’ll ever grow up.

And that’s just a compilation of things we get up to.. of course this isn’t all we’ve done, but I’ll write some more as time goes on.

seeing how things go

As both Phill and I start to learn more about this blogging business, we’re trying out some things.

So I might as well post a little tidbit here and say: we’re going into business together (in SL) and it seems to be lots of fun already

O.0 this is still here

or should i say YAY?

I think I should get back to posting here. So much has happened! SL has become even more a part of me, but I think i’ll write about that later, first things first: I need to find out how this all works

So much, yet so little

So much going on in SL, yet so little to post about here…

It’s fun basically, especially the crowd at Three Lions Pub in Bourton Village (come see, but don’t all come at once, I want to be able to dance still!).
Live concerts, good DJs.. loads of  fun and an awesome crowd of regulars .

I guess that’s basically it for now, Live Help has been busy, I haven’t had enough time to be really active though, but I will be again. Always do get a couple of hours in though.

Picnic in Amsterdam

As written by Menno Ophelia and Frans Charming, met with these two Dutch SLers and our very own Philip Linden at Pacific Parc for a wonderful lunch.

Couldn’t add more at the moment so here are their links

Kai’s first steps

The first days after rezzing, were a bit awkward, as things seem to be for all new residents.

Luckily kai soon found some nice items to blend in with the crowds. Although some people did not quite agree there. Generally, you might say, she was concidered a bit odd… even is to this day.

But she has made a lot of friends, who are all very supportive and friendly….

The road to being where she is today, was strange and uncomfortable for her. First of all walking and chewing gum.. a novel idea for her, very different from the flying she was used to. The landing was something completely odd, gravity hit her like a punch in the face, over and over.

But she got over that and decided to enjoy the oddities of all these people, their fun, their love for chocolate (which she had also inherited from her human part), in general: all the human traits.

Some of the people she met in those first days, will be a big part of this story… the story of kai Sachertorte, android/bot/cashew/AI/alien.. whatever she really is.

kai and the Sachertorte

Where the original humanoid parts came from, no one really knows…

However, we do know 'Sachertorte' was connected to the droid-type-AI-bot on September 17 in the year 2005. Let's just say the parts are 18 years old (and a month or two, maybe one day and 3 hours and 21 minutes).

The cashew they used for a brain, sometimes short-circuits with the hardware, which means she's (most parts are female btw) got some flames coming out of her head most of the time. The cashew bit also ensures a (healthy) dose of insanity.

This also brings us to the curious name 'kai'… the last two letters, of course, stand for a.i.. That k though has kept many people wondering. Since her creator is not available for comments, we can only guess what it stands for. Here are several ideas:

• kelvin, as in the temperature: always overheated, overcooked
• krypton, is she made of alien bits?
• k-mart, maybe the humanoid parts were found there.
• kilobyte, referring to her hardware, of course.
• keyboard, quite obvious, the main way to control her.

Other suggestions have been knave, knot, knife and kinky… the latter fitting her behaviour at times, but did they know when they fitted the parts together?

any extra ideas can be posted in comments. We are still trying to figure this out.
