Symphony Vive has a wonderful new artwork in the her gallery at the Art Factory, but it needs a title, any suggestions? So far we have:

Hirst Style 'The voyage of fragility in a fleeting moment of a gossamer existence'
Emin Style 'I thought you loved me, but it was never real'
Pollock Style 'Boat and Butterfly wings No. 23'
Dali 'Art Factory Dream - Woman finds Butterfly wings in place of sails'

Little hacker bastard. Look how big the story is. You can hack as much as you want. It doesn't change the story. You are only momentary and nothing you do as a hacker makes you bigger. You are nothing, you have nothing, you will not have been in the end. How pathetic and pitiful. You think what you do is important and right. But you are alone, frustrated, and your hacking successes are those pathetic self-affirmations that don't really satisfy you. You want a world where you are respected. But you are not able to find your way in this world. Not able to approach people and see and accept the positive. To be or not to be, that is the question. In the end it was light or nothing. It's up to you. The negative cannot win. The + always flows to the - and no hacker turns it around. Hackers are mostly children of drug parents or rich people who are socially unfit. So sad, OK smart kids wake up sometime and make something of their life. Failures give up and their characters become impoverished. They fight hard for recognition in an environment where everyone is abusing everyone else to achieve the same illusion. In principle intelligent .... but what use is it if you are socially unfit? There are people who have created positive things, whose name will survive. Your miserable life and the attempts to enrich yourself ...... Your demise will not be noticed.

In Memory of J. Wallace

Today I learned that my friend J. Wallace passed away in June 2024.

J was more than a friend. He was a contributing writer for my Climate of Our Future blog and someone whose passion for our oceans was truly inspiring. One of the stories he often spoke about was Adelita, the remarkable loggerhead sea turtle whose incredible journey across the Pacific helped change our understanding of sea turtle migration forever.

Years ago I created LivBlue at Great Canadian Grid as a tribute to J's work and his dedication to our oceans. When that grid closed, LivBlue found a new home on 3HG, where it continues to celebrate marine life and ocean conservation.

In his memory, I have created the Adelita Choker, a silver sea turtle necklace inspired by the grace, endurance, and extraordinary journey of Adelita. I hope it serves as a small reminder that one person's passion can inspire others for years to come.

If you'd like to visit LivBlue, explore the underwater world, and receive the Adelita Choker, you're warmly invited.

Thank you, J, for sharing your knowledge, your friendship, and your love for the sea. Your work continues to ripple outward, just like the tides.

From Raven's Bluff, I wish everyone across the OpenSim community a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July.

May your skies be bright, your waters calm, and your adventures endless. Thank you to everyone who continues to create, build, explore, and share his or her incredible OpenSim virtual world with others.

Happy Independence Day—and here's to the next 250 years.
