First Metaverse Tuesday successfull

The very first meeting of the Metaverse Tuesday has just finished and we can look back to a success! It was a very interesting evening, in which Chantal Harvey has told about her best skill, making films and machinima. As founder of http://mamachinima.eu she is also involved in the making of the full lenght movie ‘Sail Away’ which is a project of Rafale Kamachi.

At home in Tilburg we already familiar with the ‘Open Coffee’ that is being organized each forthnight on friday morning. A meeting where interested people of various skills and professions meet and talk about what is keeping them busy. This Metaverse Tuesday can be seen likewise, but inworld and yes.. without coffee..

This very first edition of Metaverse Tuesday was a success and it is very promising for the Tuesdays that will follow up. From now on, every Tuesday is a Metaverse Tuesday!

Metaverse Tuesday

En français: Mardi du Metaverse

Metaverse Association is going to organize the weekly “Metaverse Tuesday”, an informal meeting with or without a theme and with the active residents of Second Life and the Metaverse, who are interested in development and innovation and see the chances for Second Life as a browser and communication tool. People who agree that Second Life is not at all a game, but the internet of the 21st century.

Come and take your friends along as it is a public meeting. An Open Coffee, in which you just have to take care of the coffee yourself! ;-)

Feel free to suggest a theme. As development are changing as we speak, it is impossible to set a theme in advance for every meeting. Of course the approaching contest “Gadgets & Tools” might be on our minds at the moment, but all subjects related are welcome!

Feel free to share this invitation with everyone and we hope to welcome you at the Metaverse Theater: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bellobas/93/55/43 In case you don’t have a Second Life account yet, it is for free to open one at http://secondlife.com/

Crazy about Her !

« These small moments of intimacy that we forget or don’t look anymore »

After a few years of life as a couple, the fervor, attentions, gestures, gifts, tears flowing in watching her … can sometimes fade away to give place to a love without sparks.

I hope, through this exhibition, to give you back that spark, or if you haven’t lost it, make it grow.

Bon voyage in this call to love

Watch, dream, but mostly rediscover

Nicolas Claeyssen

Easter egg hunt in Second Life

Starting from Easter, this year on 12 April and running until 30 April the yearly, grid wide easter egg hunt in Second Life is on.
As for last year 1100 eggs and 4000 participants were counted, even more are expected to join the great hunt this year.
The reason for this success is, that both ‘hunters’ and ‘hiders’ (sim-owners) take part in a lottery so that they can win prizes in Linden Dollars, the currency of Second Life.
But there is more.. Read the rest of this entry »
