OUPZ....I made a booboo, peeps....:
the swan's animation sequence got corrupted, it never could play a full animation and grab next, fluently...
I have corrected it, the new version is available in me shoppie!

I rezzed him in the air, but he can be rezzed on ground and ridden. The point of this post is this project is about preserving Fred’s original Second Life creations and making selected pieces available to be enjoyed again. I have been using photoshop, Canva for years when generating ads, most people do. I’m going to leave it there. Thank you.

back with an empty region....

The Tartar Manifesto

We explain:
The history of humankind is not a straight line.
It is a web of ascents, collapses, oblivion, and rediscovery.
Anyone who claims that progress inevitably leads from a primitive past to perfect modernity is telling a comforting story – but not the whole truth.

We distrust standardized truth.

When history is condensed into a single official narrative in school textbooks, an illusion of certainty arises. But every generation rewrites history. Every power structure decides which voices are heard and which are silenced.

We therefore maintain that
history does not belong to institutions.
It belongs to human memory, to art, to people's stories.

We defend creativity as a fundamental form of human freedom.

Many people have been convinced that they are "not creative."
This is one of the most successful cultural deceptions of modern times.

Creativity is not a rare talent.
It is a natural state of the human mind.

A person who designs, questions, doubts, invents – eludes complete control.

That's why creativity is political.

We are questioning the concept of value.

In a world where numbers determine value, it is forgotten that
the value of a thought, a poem, or a picture cannot be calculated.

A work of art can be priceless – or appear worthless – depending on who is looking at it.
This shows that value is not an objective measure. It is a matter of agreement.

We warn against the new architecture of control.

When every movement, every purchase, every decision is transformed into data, a society of total observation emerges.

Discounts in exchange for data.
Convenience in exchange for privacy.
Security in exchange for freedom.

The new power structure is not visible like a palace or an army.
It consists of networks, algorithms, and information flows.

We remind you that freedom also requires anonymity.

We advocate for human standards.

Communities should be small enough that people know each other.
Small enough that responsibility remains visible.

A society is healthy when citizens can influence its decisions – not just every few years by marking a ballot, but through active participation.

We call this vision "Tartar".

Not as a historical claim about a lost civilization,
but as a symbol for another possibility of human organization.

A world with more creativity,
more decentralization,
more trust in people's ability to shape their own lives.

This manifesto is not the end of a discussion.

It is an invitation to think differently.

I am honored to share the news that Fred Beckhusen’s “Phaze” collection will be coming to the Weathered Woods Second Life Marketplace store.

Phaze was the Second Life region of Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards, and the creations associated with Phaze represent their creativity, work, and history in Second Life. Full credit for these creations and their legacy belongs to Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards.

Weathered Woods is honored to provide a new home where selected pieces from this remarkable archive can once again be made available to the Second Life community.

This will be a carefully curated collection. Fred will decide which creations from his archives he wishes to release, and those pieces will be added to Weathered Woods over time. Each Marketplace listing will preserve the appropriate creator attribution and acknowledge the history behind the work.

For me, having Fred’s work represented alongside my own creations at Weathered Woods is an extraordinary honor. I look forward to helping preserve this little piece of Second Life history and making Fred and Debbie’s creations available for others to discover and enjoy again.

Please Note! Platform Availability Notice


The Phaze Archive will be curated separately for Second Life and OpenSim. Items, versions, permissions, and availability may differ between platforms.

Each platform will feature content specifically selected and approved for release there. An item available on one platform should not be assumed to be available on the other.

All original creator credits and applicable licensing will be preserved.

To Address any confusion:

A Note About the Phaze Archive

I would like to clarify the purpose of this project.

The Phaze Collection represents archived Second Life creations by Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards. Our goal is preservation—to restore these precious assets, keep them from being lost to time, and allow selected creations to be enjoyed again in the environment for which they were originally created.

These are not simply files that can automatically be moved to OpenSim. Some contain Second Life-specific scripts and functionality that would need to be rewritten or adapted for OpenSim before they could work properly.

We are also not using Second Life Marketplace primarily as a money-making venture. It is the Second Life distribution portal available to us, making it a practical way to preserve and provide access to selected pieces from the archive.

OpenSim is separate. Fred has generously provided creations to the OpenSim community through Outworldz for well over a decade, and new resources continue to be added there. We do not distribute through Kitely Market. We distribute here:
https://outworldz.com/

Many of our OpenSim friends also maintain homes and avatars in Second Life. Those are the people this announcement was intended to reach. We are part of communities that overlap; enjoying one virtual world does not require us to stop enjoying another.

Most importantly, this project is about preservation, respect for the original creators, and ensuring that an important collection of virtual-world creativity survives to be enjoyed again. ❤️

Added my Onboarding Widget today to the DragonCommand Platform. This should help cut down on Support Tickets for Grid Owners from folks who might find it difficult Creating an Account and/or Avatar:
ONBOARDING WIDGET — THE FLOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
State 1: Just registered (Hatchling)
→ Right-side popup appears
→ Step 1 ✅ Account Created & Verified
→ Step 2 → Create Your Avatar (CTA button)
→ Step 3 🔒 Log In via Firestorm (locked)

State 2: Avatar created (Fledgling)
→ Step 1 ✅
→ Step 2 ✅
→ Step 3 → Download Firestorm + Login URI
→ Widget shows one more time then gone

State 3: Has logged in before
→ NO WIDGET — they know what they're doing
That's it. Once they complete all steps and they have their Avatar and they are in-world, the widget disappears forever! (It is dismiss-able in the meantime if they get irritated with it. It just appears at each log-in until the user creates their Avatar. Can be disabled for System Admins who do not intend to create avatars.

added XMPP to the grid, so you can chat with your friends with a client like Gajim or Conversations. just log into chat.holoneon.com with your first.last and holoneon password. there are two auto-groups that sync, all users and friends in your FL. I will work on bridging the chat with os im.

DreamGrid owners will love this Mesh viewer and Uploader, with no timeouts, or vertex limits.
And no hassles either. Just browse, select the mesh and click go. In a few sconds it's in, textured and ready to use.

There is a previewer to check what it will look like. It brings in all PBR materials in a GLTF and textures in a DAE.
