The recent weather in RL
When the weather in RL is as nice as in SL...Get out of the house!
That's exactly what I'm doing!

Skyboxes in SL
I love having enough land/prim to have several skyboxes in SL. One I have in Caledon Mayfair is open to the public - basically it's open to anyone who discovers it, or to a few people I know who need a large building platform.
Another I have allows even more freedom ;)
Sometimes I'll go to one of my skyboxes and stay the entire time I'm inworld.
Now you may be wondering..."If I IM Zoe, is she wearing any clothes?"

Big Dogfights for Tiny Avatars!
Officers of the Royal Caledon Air Force are planning 3 dogfighting sessions within two days of aerial combat fun during the first weekend of May 2008.
All participants will meet at the Connolly Aerodrome in Caledon Penzance at 10:00 AM SL time on Saturday May 3rd or Sunday May 4th (or both days if you prefer) for what may be the biggest air battle ever fought by tiny avatars!
We have also added a 12:00 AM (00:00) SLT Midnight Tiny Dogfight for the wee hours of Sunday morning. That's 3 aerial battles in the same weekend!
All you need is a tiny plane with the Terra Combat System (TCS) and a tiny avatar. A tiny dog avatar would be perfect, but if you have your heart set on another, we'll be glad to see you in another tiny incarnation.
Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a Caledon resident or pilot with the Royal Caledon Air Force. All we ask is that you join the RCAF group during the time of the event itself to facilitate communication in group chat during the events and use a tiny avatar and tiny plane during the dogfights. Tiny planes will be provided by RCAF Marshal Zoe Connolly. The Tiny Avatar you use is up to you. Once we start, air battles usually last 30 to 40 minutes.
Fair Skies!

Re-organization
My time inworld and offGrid is as valuable as prim in SecondLife®
Lately I've been reorganizing my virtual worlds. Evaluating my time-management, my rights to various land-parcels, land usage, etc...
Everything is in flux at the moment.
Yes, even in the metaverse there is such a thing as spring-cleaning....

Airliner crashes into Caledon Penzance Building!
(Caledon Penzance) At 2:30 PM SL Time on SLunday April 13, this reporter witnessed a most harrowing sight. A Jet Airplane crashed into several buildings in Caledon Penzance. Was it pilot error or SL Havok 4 mishap? We may never know for certain. The unknown pilot was last seen disembarking his plane and promptly disappeared into the aether, leaving his wreckage behind - and perhaps even his pride - nested in the side of a Penzance shop....

The 1950s Era F-94C
Fascinated by Mr Blancos Milestone's airplanes, I returned to his store to buy a few more of his fine aircraft.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/CinemaRay%20Oceano/82/79/24
I was pleased to find a new addition to his collection. The 1950s Era F-94C Starfire Fighter Jet....which I promptly purchased for the reasonable sum of 900 Lindens.
I quickly learned the basics and took to the air over the Caledon Firth for 3 test flights, making successful landings at Connolly Aerodrome twice.
This is definitely one of my favorite planes in SL.
Now I just need a good wingman!
*smiles and winks*

First Flight of my B-17
The new SL Release Candidate Client update did not work well with windlight and WeGame, however...I was still able to capture video with the main SL Client. Frames-per-second are lower than normal. I'll make another when WeGame with SL Windlight play nice together again...

Zoe's SL Aviation News
THI (Tumansky Heavy Industries) builds and sells many fine aircraft and automobiles. When last I was there buying a 1923 Model T, I found a new WW1 era Sopwith biplane under development. It's not yet for sale, but after chatting with creator Karl Reisman, the project looks very promising....

Blancos Milestone sells some smashing aircraft at the following location...
http://slurl.com/secondlife/CinemaRay%20Oceano/82/79/24
I was drooling over this B-17 on display and just *had* to add it to my collection. This is a "wearable" aircraft that attaches to your avatar. Each of the four engines has a separate start-up. I'll have more on the B-17 in an upcoming WeGame video.
Mr. Milestone also offers detailed Sopwith Camels and Red Baron Fokker DR-1s, sold separately or both in one combat pack.

Ironclads and my return to WeGame....
This is my first video since the major upgrade for SL Windlight users. Note that the text is legible once again and the details are back.
The video itself shows preparations for a free-for-all Ironclads battle in the 19th Century sim known as Antiquity in Second Life.

Your Seduction Style: Ideal Lover |
 You seduce people by tapping into their dreams and desires. And because of this sensitivity, you can be the ideal lover for anyone you seek. You are a shapeshifter - bringing romance, adventure, spirituality to relationships. It all depends on who your with, and what their vision of a perfect relationship is. |

Second Life/Linden Lab appearance before the US Congressional Committee on Energy and Commerce - Second Life Bloggers
March 2008 Party Reaction: Congratulations to Crap Mariner!
I had a blast at our Second Life Bloggers March 2008 Party hosted by Crap Mariner at his clocktower. I was so busy reading and writing chat, I forgot to do a machinima and have very little photographic evidence for the impending registered trademark lawsuit. Ah well!
