The Virtual Black History Museum
Thursday, February 20th saw the release of the latest in the Lab’s on-going video series Made in SL. Subtitled History in SL, it could also fit into the category of Learning In SL, given its subject,the presents a lesson in both history and education: the Virtual Black History Museum, which has re-opened for 2020’s Black History Month is the United States.

During the Friday, February 21st live stream of Lab Gab, Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg gave what may amount to the first fully public statement on the future of the Lab’s social VR platform, Sansar.
Speaking at the top of the programme, he stated:
Yeah, so as you might have heard, sadly we have decided that we, as Linden Lab, couldn’t continue to sponsor the project financially, so we’re looking for a plan B for Sansar to continue. I can’t say much, but we’re having very interesting conversations with several parties to help that project move forward, which I’m really excited about. But no deal is done yet, so people will just have to be patient and see what happens with it, but yes it is true that Linden Lab going forward will focus entirely on Second Life and Tilia. I’m still busy making sure that…

Otter Lake, February 2020
Otter Lake is one of the most alluring homestead regions we have recently visited. The work of Sharon Hinterland, this is a truly remarkable region in terms of the amount of space the region exudes, the beauty of the design, and the richness of detail. So much so that it is actually hard to believe it is only an Homestead region and thus capped with a land capacity of 5K.
I wrote those words back in June 2019 following our first visit to Otter Lake. We recently made a return to the region after receiving an invitation to do so from Sharon, who noted she’d made a number of changes to her design, and hoped we’d be able to take a look.

Now, to be honest, given the region really did captivate and offer…

Many Second Life people who are using the free account at Flickr are upset about some of their accounts being suspended. I think the problem is that they are sharing links in the discription that they are not allowed to do. I have heard that they are being given no warning beforehand either. I am not sure if that is true though. I mean we all know how people don’t really read or notice import information like that. Flickr has had this information in their TOS forever and it’s nothing new really. But I never heard of people accounts being taken down until now.
I know 1000 images for a free account really sucks. People were stuck between a rock and hard place when that change happened. They had to decide to go Pro or clear out their accounts until they were under 1000 pictures. Many people went to Instagram…

The gallery is officially seeking new ownership.
The Phoenix Artists Collaboration art gallery is the culmination of effort between sim owner(s), artists, and staff.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondl…/Serena%20Hyperion/…/1505
The gallery has been funded and operated by Robert73Miller and Luke (Marshmal). The buildings and landscaping are owned almost entirely by Robert73Miller who has resigned from the official gallery group, “The Phoenix Artists collaboration”
The current sim at Serena Hyperion is a full 30k prim region with a weekly rent of $16,999L.
Rent is currently paid up through March.
Up to this point, the gallery was rent free to artists unless they went above the 100 prim/artist threshold. That is to say the gallery generates no income. Patrons and artists who wished to donate were directed to charity donation boxes.
One stipulation current management would ask is that Ani Jung be allowed to remain as Curator and have a place in policy decision making.
Thank you,
Phoenix Artists Collaboration Liaison,
Luke (Marshmal)
Inspired by posts on scoop.it SL Destinations, I revisted Grauland. I had visited it half a year ago and had written a simploring report about it (see Simploring 2019 (89) Grauland). What caught my attention was the changed name “Grauland / Okinawa Islands” and pictures of a destinctive rock formation.
The landing is close to a heap of stones that reach into the sea. I immediately recognized it again and knew where I was. This heap of stones and the horseshoe form of the islands are the only similarities to Grauland back in 2019.
Grauland / Okinawa Islands 2020 – overview
Grauland / Okinawa Islands is an adult homestead owned by JimGarand. It is also home to M-1 Art Poses, a shop for poses that is located on a platform in the skies above. M-1 Art Poses is also owned by JimGarand. On Grauland / Okinawa…

To express interest, please see our artist opportunities page:
Now that the trailer for Stömol is done, I can get down to the serious business of procrastinating over doing the audio for the movie. Since I promised a series of ‘how to’ blog posts back in September, I’m going to start with that.
I’ll begin with the basic tools. To anyone who’s dabbled with machinima in Second Life, the following will likely be nothing new. The problem with this sort of stuff, however, is that people rarely take the time to write it all down because they assume everyone knows it. It’s a human weakness that we tend to forget that we didn’t once know the stuff that we know now, as evidenced by the SL residents who still seem to think that all the paraphernalia associated with mesh bodies and ‘appliers’ is easy (whilst still expressing astonishment that more people don’t take up SL). Luckily, one of my…

For my simploring tour on Monday, January 30th, I picked Soul of Dreams from scoop.it SL Destinations. Soul of Dreams is a moderate homestead owned by Xana Ligati (xana newall). Xana is the blog manager of GOOSE – Home & Garden.
The sim was designed by Busta (badboyhi).
Soul of Dreams – overview
Soul of Dreams consists of three islands, one main island and 2 smaller islands. They are connected by bridges. The landing is close to the brigde to one of the smaller islands, with is occupied by a huge lighthouse. I first had a look around at the landing point. Some seals and birds are there and the spot already offers nice opportunites to take pictures. The sim is surrounded by snow covered mountains, Soul of Dreams is covered with less snow.
