This year’s Temple Burn had to be postponed (to next Sunday, November 4, 2018) because Second Life was experiencing massive technical issues, but at least the Man Burn went well. I’ll admit to some disappointment, however. I always love filming it, but this year, it happened so fast that I didn’t film it at either…

Burn2 ends in a few days with Burning the Man on this Saturday, October 27, 2018, and of the Temple on Sunday. Builds will remain up for a few days after that, but there will be no more events. Visit now! In this post, I’m presenting some photos from Time Machine, one of the five…
Burn2: Dancing at the Temple
I’ve been too busy this week to write, so here are some photos of the Temple in this week’s Burn2 (Burning Man in Second Life). If you do only one thing at Burn2 this week, be sure to come and dance with the Lamplighters at the Temple (full disclosure: I am a Lamplighter Elder). Lamplighters…
Octoburn is coming
Burn2’s big annual festival begins in Second Life in just two weeks. It’s been two years since I posted anything here – that’s far too long, so I’m restarting the blog. Since I haven’t been posting here for a few years, you may not know my background. I’ve been a Burn 2 Ranger and Lamplighter since…
Remembering Ladyslipper Constantine
When someone we know dies, all too often we learn too late how much more rich and varied the person’s life was than we ever knew, that there was a whole part of that person’s life that we never saw, and good friends we never met. It’s even more true in a virtual world, where…
LUMIPro lighting system for photography/machinima
I first got a LUMIPro in 2011, when creator Stefan Buscaylet gave it to attendees at the 2011 SLCC. I was impressed enough with its potential in Second Life for lighting models and actors that I wrote a review for examiner.com, but I didn’t have an immediate need for it and eventually forgot about it….
NVIDIA ShadowPlay for recording SL machinima
I’ve seen a lot of questions and some misinformation about whether NVIDIA’s ShadowPlay machinima recording tool can be used in Second Life. The answer is that it does work in SL, but not in all versions of Windows The problem is that under Windows, ShadowPlay only works with Aero mode enabled, but Aero only exists…
From the Archives: M2Danger Ranger tells campfire tales of ships in the desert
(I originally published this article on examiner.com on April 28, 2012) Avatars seated around a campfire on the dry caked mud of a Second Life® virtual desert listened in rapt attention yesterday as the legendary M2Danger Ranger recounted tales of the great ships that once plied the Nevada playa during Burning Man festivals of days past….
