So dv_girl IMed me this link today. A pointer to a blog post, talking about a new attraction in Second LifeA group of animated statues. That you can, ah, ride. Or maybe I should say "ride".

Remember that open-work avatar inspired by "Rez"?

At dv_girl's behest I logged into Second Life to check out the orbital launcher she found. Unfortunately it didn't ever get me more than about 150000 meters up - nothing really amazing.

After tanning myself some, I wandered back in and booted up Second Life.

I made another avatar, a fairly human one. Then I scried a giant veve across the sky over Sandy's place - which is where I'm set home to in SL. Because it's all about me, I took a closeup shot of this av, too ( Read more... )
