Relay for Life 2009

Last year I was honoured to take part in Relay For Life 2008, fundraising for American Cancer Society. This is its' fifth year in Second Life and to date 220,000 USD has already been donated.
Last year Sara Carr and I built an entire sim, this year we have a smaller plot for our display of about an eighth of a sim.
The theme is "One World, One Hope" and our plot is based around research for cancer treatment and cures, the Hope part, and that many of those have been discovered in various exotic and mundane places within the World, the World part. We are trying to show various creatures and especially the environments in which they live and breed. Living organisms such as Sea Squirts, Primrose, Yew, and mud loving Bacteria, many of which have developed their own forms of cancer prevention.
On the right is part of the build as of today. To give you an idea of scale, you can probably see me above the Andes in South America; the moon surface is 60x60m and the earth at the back takes up another 60x60m, I am hovering above the moons horizon and only half way into the build.

Hair fair 2009 review

When I arrived I couldn't see the relationship between hair and sweets (candies). The landscape was a bold display of sweets and candies, the stalls displaying the hair were gingerbread houses, cake shops and bun shops. There were buns with large textures and sculpties to get the shapes of squirted cream and other unecessary confectionary that all created lag, without helping to show off the hair.

I didn't get to see much of the hair as the landscape had soaked up all the bandwidth and prims, leaving most of the hair displays showing gray.

I bought a lag pack at the Hair fair that suggested I remove all attachments and all scripts to reduce lag. I thought it should have said "We don't give a toss about your lag because our sim looks so freaking cool."

This is a list of things I would consider.

• People will want to come back to some shops, so allow them to create landmarks. Hair Fair stopped you from noting where shops were or passing on landmarks to friends.
• Allow people to teleport anywhere so they can go back to a shop.
• Split the sims with walls to reduce view distances.
• Add some landmark feautures for people to navigate by.

*** ADDED 30JUL09 ****
Alpha Aur gave a longer review and post at Not Possible IRL. I was at the hair fair...

Shannon Oherlihy

From Talia's second life

Shannon Oherlihy (Shannon McMahon) played at Tanglia Romantics today and we hope to have her as a regular singer. She plays guitar and her clear, emotional voice floats through the music. Playing live she sounds like a studo recording, absolutely perfect.

She will be a regularl at Tanglia Romantics.
