Backyard Explorations

I spent part of last Sunday exploring our back yard. Specifically Info Island, Info International, Infotainment and Imagination Island. I was in search of the details that make our SL home seem so real. They are the personality items. The small touches that make a house a home. In doing so, I found some whole new rooms I had never explored before!

For example, the Castle of Dreams on Imagination! The Space Music building on Infotainment. There were others. Too many others. So, now and again this space will feature one of the delightful and perhaps unexplored places right in our own back yard.

I'm also going to try to cover more of the special collections and displays that abound in our neighborhood. Just this morning, Rocky Vallejo announced the opening of "Take your vacation in SL". With a clever twist on the price of gas, Rocky has collected landmarks of wonderful places in SL to visit. This can be found at the State Library of Kansas, Cybrary City II (36, 164, 22).

Are you wondering why I spend time looking for the delightfully small items added to enhance our SL experience? Well, its going to be something of a treasure hunt right in the back yard mentioned earlier. Participants will be given a texture of 20 images of some of these objects found in the four sims mentioned. The photo at right is an example. Then, off you go to find them! Prizes will be awarded for the most correct identifications, and of course dancing and merriment after the hunt concludes! Watch for the time and date, it will be during the coming week.

Happy day, my friends!
