Oh, Moon of Alabama…

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Just found this Moon Unit “Valley Girl” live session on youtube and had to share it. As many folks know, Janice (Mata) whom you can visit at the Ashram’s Hall of Heroes, danced with Zappa back in the day, as well as singing in her own band. Zappa was… as you have seen him, as was Tom Bombadil, and in much the same rebellious anti-style fashion. It’s no surprise to me that this scathing dig at ValSpeak was more of a harbinger of language to come than most folks at the time thought it might be. Now, everyone talks like this, and the joke is lost, like Max’s shoe-phone. The kids who see episodes of “Get Smart” all ask the same question: “What’s a telephone???”. MU or Dweez, if you happen to read this, get in touch.

See You At The Top!!!

When It Rains, It Pours

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

It’s true; when it rains, it pours, and that’s not just Morton’s Iodized Salt. I haven’t gotten a minute to write a blog for many days now, and here I’m writing two, one right after the other…Well, it can’t be helped. The screenshot above shows the new Griffon Palace, part of Ancient Rome at the Ashram. I wanted to take the extra minute to remind you that the Holiday Season is coming. Not only can you express your desire to help the Ashram with your Holiday Gift, but you can enrich the lives of a number of friends, by taking advantage of the Holiday Gift Membership I’ve asked the Board to offer. You can get a full 30-Day Gift Membership for a family member, friend or even business associates, employees, anyone you want to treat to a really fun month=long series of great activities and music and art events, as well as meditation retreats, tai-chi workouts and much, much more. The 30 Day Gift Membership is only $10 for the whole month, and that includes all the extras!!! Your guest gets all the privileges of full membership, including use of a plasma power chamber!!! There’s no limit to the number you can invite — well, actually, there is a somewhat finite number — 800 — that’s our Limit of Expansion. We can’t cram any more than 800 avatars into the Ashram, period, so that sort of says something on the order of “There will never be 1 million avatars in one region at one time.” That’s probably true, and it’d be awfully hard to walk around in there if there were, eh?

Hand-Painted Porsche, Opel & Lamborghini for Sale at Club Leger

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

porscheforsale

I’ve been horrifically busy getting ready for the convention, now only days away; In preparation for the kind of work we’ll be doing, I’ve done a few fine-art auto finishes, and these three units are the result. They are all one-of-a-kind, completely unique and ready for the most grueling of race courses in Sl. They’re a bit pricey, but it’s for a good cause, and they make great fine art collectibles in the new medium of quantum electronics, the artwave of the future. I’ll be building sculptures and making implements of all sorts, all manner of things. Another building project you’ll find in the Tattoo-Fashions Mall at Club Leger are the four Haute Couture shops and runway I’m developing for your pleasure and edification. In short, it’s a work-space, and I’ve put some garments in there that are available for sale. One item of note: all my SL items are strictly one-offs, one-of-a-kind. Like the sign on the boutique wall says: “What you see is what you get.” You get to take it home with you right then and there. I do offer — actually require — that you have a professional fitting session when you buy any of my wearable art garments, and even the automobile might need to be fitted to your specific avatar. I’ll be teaching how to make product and open a shop at the Labor Day convention. It’s simple and even you can do it.

Country Club 19th Hole Bar, Pro Shop, Gallery & GolfWear Boutique PLUS a Private Top Floor Club — yep, the whole works, all yours, for only $1,000 for the entire year, and there’s only one available, to one buyer, although you could form a group to get this together… I’ll explain: You get possession of the country club building, with permission to rezz what you like in there. It will require a full conversion of the region to make it possible to build and furnish and stock the clubhouse, a cost to me of $1,000. You pay that, in advance, so I can convert the Homestead into a Full Sim. You get full control of the clubhouse, including all stock, etc. with a very generous 1000 prim allowance for your sale items. The furnishings will be around 1,000 prims, which I will put in. You can have whatever merchandise you like in there. You get all that for less than $100 a month. As Country Clubhouse Manager (not owner, the Ashram owns it) you have the privilege of rezzing and driving the car and aircraft of your choice!!!

The Clouds of Heaven

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

hallofheroes_001

Heavenly clouds. If you ask the average Western schoolchild, you’ll get this about Heaven: angels sit around on clouds, strumming on harps. That’s it, end of line. Nothing is mentioned about singing, or humming or lunch-breaks. Clouds, endless clouds, on which there happens to be the biggest crafts fair in the known universe. Clouds. The fact is, the Ashram is hidden deep in the clouds, somewhere between Agharta and Shambala — Heaven & Hell — and that’s where it always will be. Once something exists in Quantum, it always is and always has been. (Ref: The Photon Effect) We’re surrounded by several other Heavens, but there’s plenty of room in Quantum Space. There’s nothing in hyperspace or Quantum Base to wear Heaven down — no friction, no entropy. That means foreverness, in the sense that as long as there’s a Kalpa running, there’s a Heaven. Just a little bit of Heaven is the 3200 meter level in the Ashram. You’ll now find the Hall of Heroes awaiting you there. Hall of Heroes is a contact point between yourself and any entity anywhere. You’ll be happy forever in the Bodhisattva Heaven. Plenty of work down below!!! You’ll find all the Keys to the Kingdom and easy rides to any world you need to get to for your Bodhisattva activities, through the Interdimensional Airport and Lounge. Horse and Hiking Trails, jazz and blues clubs, comedy club, winter sports, Throckmorton Desert Classic and accommodations at the Heavenly Hyatt.

See You At The Top!!!

Rollin’ on the River

riverwork01

Been really busy lately. Rome wasn’t built in a day. It took a day and a half. Actually, I’m nowhere near finished with it. I have four more major palatial buildings to put in, then all the detail work; the streets of Ancient Rome were packed with every hustle imaginable. There were no police, no justice system, nothing like that at all. Every citizen was responsible for the safety of his home, and houses had no windows, for protection against intrusion — the only light and air came from the atrium. I’ve taken a break from Roman towers and fortifications at 3200 metres, in order to do a little work on the Grand Tour…

Action Nitro Wave Rezzer

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

Sculpted Surfable Small Waves

This is the wave generator for the multiple wave surfing beach. If you’ve ever taken a Klepper Sailing Sea Kayak out with us at Long Beach on Vancouver Island, you’ll know what it feels like to paddle out to sea across the incoming surf waves. Hit it wrong, and you’ll spill. Same with these waves. Hit ’em wrong, and you’ll dump out or get deposited out the side of the wave far short of the beach. There’s a trick to it; in fact it’s the same move you’d make on actual water, so try that before you complain that it’s the Wave Rezzer that’s at fault.

Action Sculpted Surfable Wave - Maverick 100M

The Maverick 100M (100 Meters Wide) Monster Surfing Wave

It ain’t easy installing this wonderful little Second Life sports apparatus. Here’s what I had to deal with…I’m including the actual instructions:

WARNING…
– Using wave with decorations will shorten the waves run, and require a much larger area. We suggest for you not to use these waves unless you have a large area to accomidate.

Proper Wave Run…
– Make sure you have a minimum of 10M on either side of the wave.
– Make sure the wave rises at the beginning of its run, and falls nicely into the water at the end of its run.
– Make sure you leave enough space at the end of the run, so surfers don’t hit the beach or get caught. Read on for more…
