Thanks to Hamlet Au New World Notes report that regional control of a sim’s (or, I’m hoping, a plot’s) WindLight environmental lighting settings will be coming soon. This will give the owner the ability to modify the mood of the sim with tweaks of the sliders on the land controls, similar to what we can [...]

It’s good to know that Virtual Museums, Inc. are not throwing in the towel because of the cease-and-desist order served on them by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

In my article last week, I noted how the comment of a reader of the New World Notes article on the new “first hour” experience for newcomers to Second Life sent me to check the place out.  I found it to be the fact:  no mention of building, and no basic tutorial on the subject [...]

I’m one of several Residents that went exploring yesterday.  After reading Ham Au’s article on his visit to the new Welcome and Discovery Islands for new avatars, I went ahead and created an alt account to investigate on my own.  (You can see pictures of some of the six areas at New World Notes.)
