Why Meteorites???

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

This is a piece of The Moon. You can own it. You can touch it. You can relate to it. You can travel very, very far with it. It was knocked off the Moon by some sort of stony impact on the ancient surface of the Moon,  and found its way toward the sun. It exploded in the high atmosphere of the Earth, then fell in a thousand fragments, each one burning in the oxygen-rich air, forming a fusion crust around each individual stone. They start out large, but by the time they’ve hit the ground, they’re very small, average size about a quarter-inch to an inch wide. It is a very good way to touch the Moon. Magically speaking, it IS the Moon, the Gateway to the Goddess. This stuff sells at about $1000 a gram if you can find the Real Thing. On eBay, you can get something that looks very similar for a lot less, but be prepared for a shock when you bring it in for appraisal. It’s worthless unless it’s the Real Thing, and the Real Thing is NOT plentiful, nor is it traded casually online.

This is Allende. It contains particles of an exploded star. The star exploded many millions of years ago. The solar system has bits of it everywhere. Some of it traveled from the asteroid belt to the Earth and landed in the Northwest African desert. Some of it landed in Allende, Mexico. You can touch stuff from an exploded star that existed long before our solar system was formed from its ashes. I have some of these. They are for sale at a very modest $30 per gram. They are large masses used for XDR (Extra-Dimensional Radio).

This is a lump that was knocked off of Mars. There is no doubt about it, it’s Mars Rock. There are ways of determining that, but it requires lab testing to make sure it’s the Real Thing. Meteorites that form in space, in very low, nearly zero gravity, cannot be faked, but lab results can be. You want to see the slice, and you’d better know what you’re looking for. Just like a rare coin or stamp or antiquity, if you don’t know how to test it, you’re vulnerable to fraud. Be CAREFUL when buying rare things. KNOW as much as you can!!! Find out about it. Do an in-depth search on the subject. At the very least, work with an expert you know you can trust, and believe me, a certificate or degree is NO guarantee of expertness, nor is reputation. You can touch a real Mars Rock for as little as $450, but it’s gonna be a really, really tiny little crumb. I have larger pieces, but they run into the $3,500 and up range. Fusion crusted examples are hard to find, and large pieces are almost impossible. For XD purposes, a small piece, about 1.0 gram, will do. That’s the $450 price-tag I was talking about.

Touch Mars. Touch the Moon. Touch a Sun. Wake Up.

Temple Chen-Rig Progress Report

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , ,

chenrigcover

I had one of those unfortunate disasters, and lost a day’s work; recovered it by 3:00 AM and have now gone on to amend the orb with embellishments and such…notably a zen walk and some off-sim boats — my first off-sim in the GODD® Engine Environment. There’s so much room on the map, we don’t really need the effect, but it’s fun and useful to know that it’s there to be tapped into if necessary. I made an attempt to FRAPS the orb for you, but halfway through the FRAPS video, I realized that I hadn’t yet placed the guru graphics in the Great Hall, and have yet to put in the chairs at the conference center near the Dance Pavilion. You’ll notice that I’ve done a great deal of bulldozing and piled up some snow-capped peaks all around. Also, the snow no longer gets into the buildings, thanks to Val’s repair yesterday. More about Temple Chen-Rig at the ICW this morning at 6:30 AM.

I’m working concurrently on 19 orbs, most of which are 99% done. I’m waiting for a stable water engine before releasing any that contain water journeys (gosh, just think; soon it will be “journey’s” and “journies”, and when TXT becomes the Official Language of Earth in just over a decade, the word “journeys” will have been swangled into the TXTWRD=JRNY. Gee whillikers, is there no end to human ingenuity???

Pictured above, you’ll note my personal favorite CQR amulet, the Quantum Witch. There’s a lot to it, and it’s a bitch to make — squeezing the electrolytic capacitor into the crystals is just about impossible, and the double-inductance wire-wound coil is outrageously tough to produce, but there it is, ceramic nc foil & all. Most amazing thing about this particular ammy is that it’s quite useful, although all the ammies WILL work in this function, for IDR research.

“What, exactly, is IDR Research?”, you ask. IDR=Inter-Dimensional Radio. “Never heard of it,” you respond, quite rightly, because those working in this area really don’t want you to know about it. As a matter of fact, they’ll tell you that you’re crazy to think that such a thing is going on, right under the noses of the Popular Masses, meaning us.

The Big Guys in Washington and Moscow actually WANT you to think that UFOs are piloted by interstellar greenies with teensy antennae waving about their big bald heads.

Fresh Fish Sold Here Today!!!

Uncategorized, , , , ,

aaasample02

In-between bouts of GODD® level programming, I’ve been creating a rather large & complex line of trading cards. Complex, because they range from fine art to sci-fi and there’s even some girlie shots in there somewhere — I decided to share some of my vintage pinups from 1790-1910, most of which are albumen prints, magic lantern glass slides, daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes and more. I also plan to put together a collection of sci-fi, fantasy & horror folks with souvenir relics included in the extra-thick collector cards. Something I’m developing tonight for presentation tomorrow morning at the ICW is a line of non-triplex trading cards. They’ll be a LOT cheaper to produce, wholesale and retail out at very low customer cost, anywhere from $2.95 to $9.95 depending on scarcity, demand and marketing strategies.

What this means to you is that they are just a few pennies more than a color business card, so PROMOTIONAL, RETAIL MERCHANTS, ART DEALERS and WEDDING PLANNERS alert!!! Front side is typically in color, backside typically is black & white although for a bit of extra cost, it could be two-sided color. The new card is THINNER than the swatch and relic cards, much thinner, so it can be mounted in the standard top-loader, of which I currently have 2,000 on hand.

Trading cards such as these can be used for simple branding, marketing expansion, giveaways, tuck-ins (you put one in every order you ship out) and more. One great use for these is to familiarize yourself to your neighborhood.

Another great use for the less expensive non-enclosure cards is as gifts for weddings, birthday parties, souvenirs of various family events, giveaway promotionals for parking lot or signing parties. They can be used as a sales incentive, placed at register, even handed out at special events, talks, lectures, etc.

They can be loaded with almost any type of image; the catch is, you have to own the publishing rights to anything you put out there. I own the images I’m using, so no royalties or ownership issues are going to pop up.

About the title of this article — the story is short & simple: back in 1964, as an art student, I got a few commissions for signs and such, around Hollywood. One such commission was for a fish store on Melrose Boulevard around LaBrea, as I recall. The guy wanted to know how much I’d charge for a sign that read “Fresh Fish Sold Here Today!!!”

I told him I charged by the word.

“Hey, wait a minute,” he exclaimed. “I don’t really need the word ‘fresh’ in the sign, because what else could it be? And I don’t need the word ‘sold’, because obviously I’m not in business to go broke giving things away. The word ‘here’ is also redundant. Where else would it be? And ‘today’ doesn’t need to be in there either. When else? That leaves the word ‘fish’, and that’s obvious from a block away.”

New Orbs Ready for Prime Time

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Okay, this is what I’ve been sweating out for the past few weeks — Dick’s engine now supports passengers on rafts and box-boats. Single driver only on the fancy speedboats and such. If there’s room to stand, you can carry passengers in multiplayer mode. Here’s the lineup, as soon as they can be tested:

loveboat

1.   Love Boat — A dreamy passage into the Timeless Tunnel of Love. There’s a nifty conference room 3/4 of the way through the tunnel, or 1/4 of the way through, if you go the other way.

searaft

2.   Sea Raft — Wide open seas, dotted with islands, some big and some small, with mountains, hills, valleys and more. Lake houses abound.

venice

3.   Venice — See Venice and die, right? No, that’s Paris. Well, there’s got to be something about Venice that’s worthwhile, or they wouldn’t have moved it to Las Vegas, would they have???

canal

4.   Canal Zone — Right out of a James Bond movie, this canal zone is just like the original Team Fortress Level that Claude & I built back in the day when Quake, Doom, Wolftenstein and Duke Nukem were the only games on the market. You’re a SMOGOPS operative and you get a wicked special ops boat to run about in.

boatride

5.   Boatride — Exactly what it sounds like. It’s a great little stress-buster that you will enjoy for hours and hours at a time, or just chill out for a few minutes on the pleasant waterways…

boatride

6.   River World I — Not for amateur riverboat pilots, this full-sized riverboat can carry up to 100 passengers. You can disembark, explore, chat, gather, circle-dance or picnic, then reboard the riverboat and continue on your way. The entire journey lasts anywhere from 1/2 hour to several hours with stops along the way.

river

7.   River Rafting — A long journey, designed for super-chilling; in fact, as a stress-buster, I find it actually quite therapeutic. It gets you slowed down and observant, with a sense of peace, safeness and relaxation. A very powerful counter to life-drama and acting-outness.

shiraft

8.   Shire Raft — A fun variant on the river rafting event. You’ll note that the bridges in the Shire are made of mossy wood & stone. You will find some interesting and wonderful Shire Vistas as you travel around.

rebirth

9.   Rebirth — This is WarfTown® as she was meant to be experienced. You start out in the water, coming out of a Bardo Blackout. The first thing you see is the array of docks at the southeastern tip of WarfTown®.

I’m also working a bit at a time on MAYA and TESLA III — they’re going to be really hard to get through, so I’m planning to make an Easy challenge level as well, but that’s a few months away from completion, with thousands of hours already in them. It goes slowly when you put in a lot of detail and adding particle effects and such just adds more hours onto the job.

Don’t expect these to all hit at once. Grishy still has to bundle them up one at a time, and each one must be thoroughly tested before we post it for download on payloads — nobody wants to have to download a bug-fix to run an orb, so we make sure it’s PLAYER-TESTED before release, not just game-designer tested with no lag on a $45,000 game machine, as the Big Guys do. It’s no wonder their stuff is laggy and painfully punishing.

If you still haven’t tried one of my work-orbs, you owe it to yourself to download one and try it. I guarantee that, like thousands of happy users, you’ll like it and want to use the orbs again and again.

Adding to that mix a bit of SuperBeacon work or ZoneBox Inductions will help you get a better hold on your work, and give you boundless energy, like you haven’t had since you were a kid. Why? Spirit Energy is superior to, and above, the organic body. It comes from within, and makes you glow and feel good not just to yourself, but to others. That inner glow is Shakti. That is, in a nutshell, my so-called Big Secret, and if you’re able to use it, you’re completely welcome to it.

Well, now it’s time to off-load all those orbs onto Grishy’s thumb-drive, and let her get to the bundling & testing part. I tried to get into Sl again earlier, managed to stay in for a couple minutes, then blipped back out again, and it’s not even Tuesday (their rollover day).  If you’re looking for me on D2 and/or TF2, it hasn’t been happening because of my wonky net connection, which goes in and out intermittently and unpredictably.

Anyhow, I’ll keep trying, and Claude’s trying to figure out how to beat the problem. I’ll be working for the remainder of the night on trading cards. Don’t forget that we have very little time to prepare for the upcoming Ishtar Workshop, which I’m conducting in a manner that will be very supportive to the Canadian Ashram Project as well as to the Prosperity Virtual Ashram, which is our International Community Contact Point.

I have ordered the Native American Spirit Flutes from Odell, as I’ve been planning for several years now; Oz is due back from Israel today, and hopefully by tomorrow we’ll be recording some Spirit Flute Virtual Sound Environments for you, as well as making backing tracks for my orbs with them.

They’re tuned to the didges — I got help from Odell on which thingies go with what, and we’ll soon see how close we came to guessing right on the possible tunings.

New GODD® Engine Chat Rooms by Gorebagg

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

chatroom01

This GODD® Engine Chat Room is based on Norton Street. The size-relationships are right on the money. All the objects have powerful similarity to the original items at Norton Street, plus many of the items are models made directly from the original Norton Street Relics. The round table serves as a gateway, powered by several local SuperBeacons, which are matrix-tuned to an actual SuperBeacon Generator. Chatrooms abound; there’s one in the living room, two in the kitchen (one is in the alcove), another chat area in the Master Bedroom and yet another downstairs in the Conference Room. This will be ready for download after it has been tested, so within a week for sure. This and the other 3 chat room orbs were finally completed this morning.

chatroom02

This Orb is also ready for prime-time; it’s an exact duplicate of Cosmo Street, and you can ask anyone who’s been there. It is uncanny and mysterious, and has the same feel as the original space. You can sit here with about 30 birds for discussions. Private small discussion area downstairs in Vic’s Student Bookstore. Naturally, the orb is loaded with CQRs, SuperBeacon, Matrix, the works.

chatroom03

Just to make sure I had enough to do, I finished this one as well. It’s a very exact duplicate of the space, and has a dance studio behind the compleat enchanter booth, and a theater downstairs, just like the original, where the 60s music greats came in to jam with Gemini owner Gary, an awesome amateur guitarist. Again, there are loads of CQR items and SuperBeacon, Matrix, Atlantean Crystals & More!!!

chatroom04

Yeah, I know; I’m a glutton for punishment. I decided to complete the fourth in the chatroom series before dashing off to breakfast — and that’d be Red House, Crestline. It’s a whalloping job, but it got done. You have several gathering areas, and a large discussion group area in the living room. You’ll note once again that there are all the CQR items loaded in and activated.

All four of these orbs will be ready in the next few days. Your help is needed!!! Download them and get into the orbs with other folks and test the chat functions and internet speeds. I think you’ll be delighted and surprised to see how transparent the medium can be when a good engine is employed.

Okay, so now I’m back to work on the ten boating orbs once again. They’re coming along well, but Dick and I are still hitting a few brick walls in the matter of updating and netplayer issues. Most of the problems are solved, but there’s much more to do yet, and I’m on the job as we speak. Hopefully, we’ll have the bugs worked out by this afternoon, but that’s what I said yesterday…and the day before…and the day before…and the…

Don’t forget that every successful venture rests on a huge heap of failures.

Attention Drummers & Others

Uncategorized, , , , , ,

I’m posting this for those interested in any form of drumming, whether kit or hand percussion. The points they make are for anyone who makes music, and some who don’t. I’ll be teaching lots of music stuff every day for as long as I can maintain it. Meanwhile, take the time to watch and listen to these guys — they really do know what they’re talkin’ about, and you would do well to take heed.

Gorebagg’s Rythum Band

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Solid Silver Open-hole Gemeinhardt flute has produced amazing results for CDs, but Native American flutes are very different in timbre and fluctuation.

Starting this very morning, we have a new music program. Monday afternoons will always be FAXL’s band practice. Here’s the plan for the remainder of the week, to make every day into a music day, if time, energy and schedules permit… We’ll be setting up the stage with the F# didgeridoo as the basic. On this, we’ll build percussion, to wit: everything we can lay our hands on that makes a sound when agressed upon percussively. That will include djembe, congas, rekinto, thumb-piano and a host of ibo and ube drums. Featured in the center will be (with your help — $1225 for the whole package including special shipping — is needed right now for this project) an array of chromium IBO stands and special Pro-35 microphones in five incredible HAPI drums. We haven’t yet found a stand for the big UFO angel drum. Here’s the reason we can do this now — I have found THE PERFECT (not too expensive, but not at all cheap) F# Native American flute that will allow me to make recordings for you that at last can include my HAWKAA Eagle and Hawk Calls. I will be doing workshops explaining how to draw your TOTEM out with the Native American flute, but it can’t be a cheap imitation. They just don’t work the same, although they can sound pretty good. The animal spirit has to be actually living inside the wooden heart of the flute, and must be invoked with a special breath. This is well known to all shaman everywhere. I made sure of that back in good old 50,000 B.C. (Truthfully, it was more like 48055 B.C., but 50,000 sounds soooo much better.) So, please somebody dig into the pocket, purse or wallet and make this exciting HAWKAA project possible. My bird friends are waiting to sky-walk you to Heaven.

Here’s a little fun thing just for reading the page…
