Thirza Ember has written a beautiful article about Verna Avril's life in Opensim. Please read it here!

Another fun project. "The Legend of La Mariecomo" She was a legendary witch of south-east New Brunswick Canada, who lived from 1838 - 1910. She was like the Marie Laveaux of Canada. I learned of her while studying my Mi'kmaq and French ancestry. I think we have a few people from that area in OpenSim. If anyone knows of her story, I would love to hear from you.

There is a book that is out of print, unfortunately: La mariecomo: Roman (Collection Les Romanciers du jour ; R-112) (French Edition)

"Mariecomo is the story of an Acadian witch (born in 1838, died around 1910) who made the rain and the good weather during the second half of the 19th century in the Acadian villages of the southeast coast of New Brunswick. From Cap-Pelé to Richibouctou, it was the "country of Mariecomo" and like the other sorcerers, witches, spellcasters, fortune tellers, readers of the black books, the Little and Great Albert, the Richibouctou Tears, celebrants of black masses, white and black magic, etc., Mariecomo was part of the "sect" that the world called the "sorcerers of the Coast"."

Lunar and Chinese New Year is Wednesday January 29th this year. This year is the Year of the Snake. According to the South China Morning Post "The Snake represents wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition and creativity. Snakes are also associated with good luck, prosperity, fertility and longevity. In some legends, snakes are considered divine messengers and guardians of sacred places. Snakes are also revered for their ability to shed their skin and renew themselves, symbolising transformation and rebirth." There are a few New Year gifts in the Lucky Dragon to be found. There's always a new calendar and this year there's a little plant as well as of course red envelopes and the other goodies. Almost everything in the restaurant, including the restaurant itself is free to copy/buy for 0. So if you'd like a Lucky Dragon for your own little town, assume it's a chain and enjoy. The doors are separates and because of the nature of the mesh building base the kitchen doors are a little trick so grab both sides. You click to sit and end up on a poseball on each side to get through. Happy Year of the Snake!

Highly political. Joe Biden just stutters his memes in his wheelchair and Donald Trump asked me why I don't have the 5th Avenue in my Big City. Now the Trump Tower can't exist on my sim. I would have the Park Avenue and even Madison Avenue but not the 5th Avenue. He believes that the Trump Tower is the greatest of all and it would be a shame that it doesn't exist in my Big City Life.
Anyway. Elon Musk came by coincidence and congratulated me to my AI Research Center and suggested that I should become his consulting assistant for AI research. Trump was a bit astonished and made one condition. If I would build the 5th Avenue with his Trump Tower then it would be ok. lol (in virtual reality all is possible and we are all billionaires lol )

Yesterday I was honored to have Thirza Ember and the awesome HG Safari group visit Aquamica. Thank you to all who came and a reminder to any who visit, you cannot tp a friend to a negative number here. Just rise up off the floor of the ocean and then you can tp others fine. Also, you cannot make lm at a negative number. Rise up off the ocean floor to make lm.

Why are there negative numbers in my ocean depth? It involves a certain blonde bulldozer driver (who is not a goddess) who enjoyed digging a bit too much and screwed up. ; )

Here is a link to my underwater store where most things are now available for you to build your own reef: hop://login.friends-grid.com:8002/Textures%20Trees%2C%20%2...

or you can simply go to Textures, Trees & Scripts
login.friends-grid.com:8002:Textures Trees, & Scripts

and then click on tp stone and select underwater store.

Also.....thanks to Thirza & HG Safari for the amazing write up and videos!

Wir freuen uns Falbala Gustafson als Manager für deutschsprachige Mieter gewonnen zu haben.

Of course we are also available for all other languages, after all a translator works as well :)
Bouncer speaks Dutch and English, Ansjela speaks Dutch, English and German.

Feel free to visit and ask our renters how they like living on ansjelagrid.

Way back in the day, people "donated" their likeness to be used as the NPC dance partners that we all know and love. They are stored as simple notecards inside of our dance machines.

What I would like to propose, is a project where people can CONSENTUALLY donate their NPC clone notecard for use in everyone's dance machines. After being checked for quality (no missing parts) they would be available as a collection for anyone to use in their dance machines. I think everyone would appreciate some new NPC partners. :)

I know avatars are deeply personal, and people are sensitive about it. Maybe people can come dressed in an old outfit/look to donate a clone? What I am thinking is a machine that you click, and it asks for permission to clone you. It could be at several locations on different grids. Then we can get together periodically and pool our notecard collections.

Sam and I are restarting our tradition of Thursday parties. You are warmly welcome to come enjoy our eclectic mix in a super relaxed environment. 11am - 3-ish PM SLT Every Thursday.

Good morning to all you crazy shoppers out there. I hope you are all doing well! I have been putting out a few more items, I am slowly getting there. I have a lot of fillers and backdrops out and now I am working on the builds. I am putting scripts into the doors so it is taking me a bit more time than I would like. But please continue to hang in there with me and I will get there.... Eventually lol ♥

When you are sitting alone on your sim and you are not in mood for building stuff, it can be boring. Just waiting that someone visits you? Not really. To go on Lbsa, Darkhearts Plaza or AMV Welcome for socializing? Maybe if people are not afk and just parking their avi there. The 3 places are right now the most visited in opensim but no guarantee to have conversations. I like it to talk with Petula at the beach cafe drinking coffee. Right now on Big City Life the UFO over little New Jersey is theme for everyone in the big city. You can even see from the Park Avenue the UFO from far. So no wonder that we talk about it. But Petula seems not really trained for Ufos. lol Our talk here:
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: what do you know about ufos?
[09:42] Petula: Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: Are ufos existing?
[09:42] Petula: I really couldn't say for sure.
The talk was over. Just short small talk and the bus arrived. lol

Expo Center on Big City Life
My little showcase in Opensim on Big City Life sim for what you can do with AI software. In this video you see first AI generated video with Runway Gen 2 by me. Those are old right now. But you can see then the new work of Nicolas Neubert made with Runway Gen 3 alpha. I made some background film music with AIVA AI to round it up matching for the whole video. The Music of the Hoarfrost video is origin soundtrack of Ninja Tracks. This promo shows how fast and easy you can see the AI video installations in Expo Center just by walking in the square, if you have your mediaplayer in Firestorm on auto play. You walk in the square on ground and the video is showing directly. In Expo Center are right now 3 videos of Nicolas Neubert on tape you can choose with blue menu by clicking on the tape.
I try to update the newest development and show now also an example of Veo 2 (text to video) of Deepmind, which is astonishing what you can do already. The AI is developing rapidly and exponential. You can say already that new AI for video especially is changing every month. For all the AI software you can get and use I recommend to go in my AI research Center. You get all information about different AI and purposes with links to the websites there.
In the Expo Center you find also a lot of other works. Artists in opensim show their AI generated pictures like Pat Babii and Sergio Rodriguez but there is also analog art made in rl like oil painting of ieko and acryl painting of Essensual McMahon. If you are fan of classic artists like Caspar David Friedrich or Vincent van Gogh you will find it there, too.
You can reach directly the expo center with blue bus and train at Zoo railway station. From there just follow the hostesses that walk the path from railway station to expo center and you can even talk with them, while you both walk the path. Or drive by yourself with car and follow the signs to Zoo. Then you will come automatically to Zoo, open air pool and Expo center.
