I woke up to a message from @Ferdzee casually saying, "Oh, by the way, your grid now supports PBR." Wait, WHAT? PBR? You mean DG has PBR now? Yep! Shiny, beautiful gold—Yay! Over time, I'll be updating all my jewelry. It’ll take a while, but the future is looking golden and brilliant! Dreamgrid 5.9 is PBR! Time to update your FS viewers people :) Thank you @Ferdzee you are my Hero!! Yayy

The excitement of turning a dream into reality. It begins as a spark of imagination, a vivid mental picture of a breathtaking world—perhaps a misty mountain range, an alien landscape, or a bustling medieval city. This dream is like the first stroke of inspiration for an artist.

When you start building, the blank OpenSim region becomes your canvas, a digital palette where each prim, texture, and script is a brushstroke. The process is exhilarating as you shape the terrain, paint the sky with colors and clouds, and breathe life into your vision. You sculpt cliffs, plant forests, and carve rivers, adding details that make your world not just beautiful but immersive.

What makes OpenSim even more thrilling is its ability to provide massive land sizes without the prohibitive costs of other virtual platforms like Second Life. The expansive landscapes give creators room to explore their wildest ideas, unburdened by financial constraints. This freedom fuels creativity, allowing for sprawling builds that are limited only by the creator’s imagination.

There's also a sense of discovery as the imagined meets the possible. You experiment with elements—adjusting lighting for a perfect sunset, scripting interactive elements, or adding soundscapes that make the environment hum with life. The joy of creation is heightened when the imagined dream surpasses your expectations and becomes a place where others can explore, share, and marvel.

Building in OpenSim is not just crafting pixels; it’s the act of creation in its purest form—a thrilling dance between imagination and realization, where the limits are only bound by the extent of your dreams.

This is an excellent place to start:

I am finally getting some time off from work. I am hoping to make more native clothing this week. I am particularly proud of how the moccasins came out :) The wampum belt is actually a very old design from the forming of the Haudenosaunee nation.

"You know a kind word never goes unheard...but too often goes unsaid." It is interesting how much wisdom we can learn from, just by truly hearing the words to songs like this classic 1980's country hit from The Oak Ridge Boys...so everyone please remember to take a kind word into the street, and share it with everybody you meet....Everyday! :D

You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear.
Let it shine and you just might find
You’ll lighten up the load that you bear.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world

It seems like the least we can do,
Just take that smile into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

You know a kind work never goes unheard
But too often goes unsaid.
And on the tongue of the old and the young
It’s swallowed up with pride instead.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take a kind word into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

If they’re lost I want to show them the sunshine
If they look tossed I want to throw them a lifeline.
I want the reach out my hand, (reach out) yer (a hand to hold)
Oh yeah, and let ’em know (let ’em know)
There’s a light (that there’s light) down at the end of the road.

If they’re lost I want to (show them the sunshine)
If they’re tossed I want to (throw them a lifeline).

Well everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, mmm
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

Everyday, everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
And everyday (everyday) [fading]

R.I.P. Joe Bonsall May 18, 1948 – July 9, 2024

My sweet elderly neighbor had a long visit with me. She talked about her life and things She has done. She used to work for MTV in New York and met a lot of famous people. But She is very wise and a great friend. Today She told me that when you feel like things are getting to you just to remember, it's up to you if you let them. You don't have to. You never have to give in to bad people or even get upset by them. So when people on the internet make you angry, it's b/c you choose to let them. You read what they wrote and decided to have that particular reaction to their typed writing. You don't have to do that. It's like Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "Some people have a remote control on their shirt sleeve, they are having a great day or whatever, and someone comes in and takes the remote and pushes their buttons. Someone else controls them. Where previously they were happy and having a great day, now they are angry and upset. So don't let people take your control."

We just opened the Bones and Nobles at the Soultrain Depot, and a coffee shop too where you can grab a cup! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Wednesday at Midnight How do you get there? Knock three times on the Beetlegeuse brick wall at his house-be warned the train depot is people in all states prior to the afterlife transit to Neitherworld 👁️👁️

In a mist-shrouded corner of the eerie neighborhood, where the line between the living and the afterlife blurs, a new home emerges next to the infamous Addams Family mansion. This house, a bizarre mix of Victorian architecture and Gothic grandeur, appears almost overnight, much to the curiosity of the Addams clan. Gomez and Morticia, ever intrigued by the unusual, decide to greet their new neighbors.

As they approach, the door creaks open, revealing none other than the ghost with the most—Beetlejuice, in all his chaotic glory. With a mischievous grin and a puff of green smoke, he introduces himself, reveling in the sheer oddity of the situation.

Be prepared to be entertained, 👁️👁️ https://three.hills.grid.outworldz.net/index.php/addams-fa...

This sim is rated Adult there is occasional body parts strewn about so if this offends, you have been warned Mwaahahahahaahahah

Happy Halloween everyone~three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Wednesday at Midnight

UPDATE:
I have a sponsor who will cover the cost of the stream and will do the broadcast of the soundscape from her computer. However, I'm researching the possibility that the broadcasting can be done from my Google Drive account. Anyone know anything about that? The file will be about 13,130 kb.

Also, I managed to get the uploaded song to fade out at the end, as it oughta, I still need to do more work on the song, but this is how it now sounds, fade out and all. https://www.bandlab.com/post/51f23c9d-8b5b-ef11-991a-6045b...

Thanks to all who have offered help, advice, ideas, encouragement and such. I'll be asking the sponsor of the stream if she wants to be acknowledged, and how.

OLD NEWS
I need help streaming music for a project by Cherry Manga. My 10 minute long soundscape will run on repeat for a month, 24/7, starting on September 29th.

Here are two options I’ve considered for how to stream
1. Ideally, I would store the music on the streaming service server and have the song set up to repeat.
2. Alternatively, I would use Mixx to make a live broadcasting connection to a streaming service.

Options for getting a streaming service.
3. Ideally, I would use a stream somebody has set-up already.
4. Or I rent the service, with the $ help from anyone who wants to contribute to the exhibit.

Let me know if you can help.
