Mistletoe Irish Music Night Returns Wednesday 12/23

It's the last Irish Music Night before Christmas so I'm likely to go a bit heavy on the holiday tunes this time. Lots of Chieftains, some Loreena McKennitt... you get the idea. Of course I'll still have plenty of the Clancy Brothers, U2, Dropkick Murphys, and lots of stuff in between. See you a… Continue

Digital Dreambuilder Cat agus Cu - Live on Virtually Live - The Video

Cat agus Cu - Live on Virtually Live - The Video During the party on Virtually Live last Saturday I recorded some video of Mistletoe and Doc performing - the first 8 minutes or so. I had been reluctant to publish the video as I realised too late as I was recording it that my viewer/cam/av wasn't rendering the scene properly. Mistletoe has previewed it and agreed that it may be published, even though it portrays her in an 'undead' mode ( I saw the same as Grimley reported ), wearing the… Continue

Mistletoe Dear Virtual Santa,

I have been a mostly good elf this year. Getting by in RL has been kind of rough, so I’ve immersed myself deeply– maybe a little too deeply– in the virtual. All I’d really like for Christmas this year is a decent job. And my very own Sim. I promise I’ll take good care of it. Thank you and say hi to all my old co-workers for me. Sincerely, Mistletoe.

Mistletoe Thoughts on my first OL event

I wanted to write this sooner, when it was fresher in my mind, but Things get in the way (and, I like to space things out enough so I don't look/feel like I'm totally hogging the blogs). But, this past Wednesday was the first event I've done in OL. Back in SL, I have an event resume that I wish could be my RL resume. I was Deputy Mayor of a medieval village sim in SL called Northfarthing for over a year. What the title (which I made up myself) essentially meant, was that while someone el… Continue

Mistletoe The Mistletoe Creek Railway Depot

So having mostly finished with the saloon, I've moved on to the next most important building in my someday sim: the rail depot. It will be situated just about dead center of the sim, so that when people TP in via Search they land directly onto the platform (which I think is better than onto the tracks, call me crazy). It's a little building, but here's what I got:

Mistletoe The To(l)k(i)en Elf

I have a bit of a confession to make. I'm an elf who considers herself a humanitarian. I'm married to a human, I've spent a good deal of my life among humans; while it's true that humanity has its ugly side, I'm convinced it's no uglier than that of my fellow elf. Because of my feelings toward the human race, I find that many of the elves I've met in my almost 315 years really rub me the wrong way. Namely because of their dislike of humans. In fact, for a short while (which seemed like centurie… Continue

Surreal Numbers Need to build a Zamboni now...

What was supposed to be an initial test of Adec's fine ice skates, turned into a full-fledged region stress test for Virtually Live, literally and figuratively. There were between 15 - 20 avs skating for the better part of an hour and there are some seriously sharp elbows on the grid! Adec is tweaking the final version of the skates with a helpful pitch-in by Dawn Harbour of London Core who, among other things, noted immediately that the Yeti-sizing was too limited for women's tastes. :) The s… Continue

OLPC Openlife Community


(From Digital Dreambuilder)

I have created a venue where OLPC developers or educators can meet in a virtual environment, regardless of their physical location on the planet - the OLPC Centre on the Openlife Grid.

The Openlife Grid is a virtual world (Opensim architecture) that allows people to meet and interact in a virtual environment. In that environment your presence is represented by a character on screen (avatar).

I am opening up the OLPC Openlife center as a place for any OLPC and XO developers and educators to meet. Although the location is virtual the immersive experience of 'being present' is there.
