by adminMar 23rdPlugging a 1986 Mac Plus into the modern Web
Reviving an old computer is like restoring a classic car: There’s a thrill from bringing the ancient into the modern world.
Read more about this crazy, fascinating idea here.
Personally, though, I wouldn’t do this to my old treasures. I’d be happy enough to get them up and running, possibly connecting them through a home network.
The Mac Plus above isn’t mine (well, actually my mom’s). I got it from Wikipedia, but of course ours (mom’s) looks just the same. Only I think we got ours in 1989 or 1990. Sweden was a little later to get those first Mac computers. We also have two Mac Classics. 
I wonder if they still work or if I can get them to work again… (Any Mac experts out there…? What about our old iMacs? Could we put something new into them and revive them?). Maybe that’s a bit more realistic than reviving computers from the 80’s and 90’s. But it would be a lot of fun…

Will a swivel chair be the thing that fully realizes the potential of virtual reality?
Being transported into a virtual world while you’re stationary in the physical one can create a bit of a disconnect, and your inner ear isn’t terribly happy about the whole thing.

A chair, or a platform maybe? Standing up might make the whole thing more ‘real’.

Today I logged in to Craft-World and noticed the amazing new Welcome Center. I was really impressed. It was the most practical Welcome Center I’ve seen, with teleports to different parts of the world. I’m really proud to be part of this friendly world and to have my two regions Luna Fiori and Luna Fiori Centrale as part of Craft.
If you want to have a look, here’s how to find it:

Lila dancing
I’m so happy that I’m dancing (as Lila anyway) – well sort of. I (real life me) never dance when I’m happy.
For a very long time now, I’ve felt really fed up with the virtual worlds because something was wrong with my Metro regions. They just kept crashing.
Late last night though, I managed to fix it. I have no idea what actually worked, but somehow the regions were still up today. Woot !!! I’m so happy now.
by adminFeb 18thMy (Misabel’s) answers to Have you ever SecondLifed Meme
Hi,
I’m Misabel (Starr), Lila (Mill)’s/Olive (Tor)’s real life sister. We found this meme on Daniel Voyager’s blog and thought it would be fun to do it here.
Here are my answers (in blue) to the 15 questions:
- Have you ever owned a sim in Second Life? No, but my sister Lila and I have owned a few parcels over the years.
- Have you ever created content in Second Life? Short answer no. Longer answer: sort of (socks, underwear, of the newbie kind). I have also modified certain modifiable objects to get the color I like in a garment.
- Have you ever driven a vehicle in Second Life? I guess I’ll say no, but I might have at some point. If so I don’t remember.
- Have you ever gone sky diving in Second Life? No, not actually sky diving but I have occasionally fallen from sky boxes.
- Have you ever played a sport in Second Life? I think I might have skated once, possibly even skied, but again, I’m not entirely sure.

- Have you ever fangirled/fanboyed someone in Second Life? No, I haven’t.
- Have you ever taken a picture of your avatar in water in Second Life? No.

- Have you ever taken a nude picture of your avatar in Second Life? No.
- Have you ever dated in Second Life? No.
