A year ago, I had been told that I had an aggressive stage 2 bladder cancer, and was about 3 weeks from having surgery to remove the bladder (and a few other things). I can't believe it's been a year already, and all my followup tests have been negative. I can't wait to hit the one-year mark.

Onagadori Rooster. Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 85 × 132 mm, 2022.
Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of an Onagadori rooster with long flowing tail covert feathers on a plum blossom branch. The rooster's comb and wattle are the only spots of red. The piece is smaller than a postcard and is photographed with the traditional Chinese brush it was drawn with.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

U.S. 2027 Data Center Law: The data industry must produce as much energy and water as it consumes to operate. It must be renewably generated. No: grid, aquifer access, emissions. Ai must produce, not consume, things we need. It's here, it must be controlled. Make it solve problems, not become one.

Neptune's Revenge, a 3 masted frigate I made in 2013 in #SecondLife, has sailed the virtual sea on 5 worlds: SL, Sansar, Space, BlueMars, CloudParty. It has waged war, held parties, pillaged & plundered. Many have been lost from the decks, lured by lust & sirens song. That is how I met your mother.

Hey #SecondLife, Nomads (secondpix.com/tour) is a fantastic new way to explore SL and get the lay of the land. No, I didn't say get laid on the ground! Explore, learn more about the grid around you, get out the skybox/platform and GTFO. Just your paws on the terrain. Dig this 👇
Each of the 27,360 #SecondLife regions is exactly 256m², or 65,536²m each. The main grid covers a massive amount of virtual territory:
Square Meters: 1,793,064,960 m²
Square Kilometers: 1,793.06 km²
Square Miles: 692.31 square miles

To put that into real-world perspective, the total land area of the Second Life main grid is roughly three times the size of the islands of Singapore, Oahu, or slightly larger than the city of London, UK.

22,200 of those regions are estimated to contain primarily user-created content. This constitutes roughly 80% to 81% of the entire main grid mass. Made by us, not damn machines.

Thats roughly 554 square miles of stuff we created. We should go look at it more. Nomads helps you do that.

Happy equinox! Welcome the balance of light and dark, the harvest, the reward. The seasons change and the light dims to silver. Earth settles in for a long nap, and begins to whisper in the gathering winds promises of life, renewal and rebirth, if one but listens. The plants and animals all hear it.

So many great #SecondLife places don't get seen, this is a new, free way to get out there and show love! My friend over at SecondPix just released "Nomads," a fun way to get out and explore the grid, visit registered beacons, and earn lifetime Grid Miles and free gifts for supporting destinations! 👍

Text image says: "The people who own the people that run things have come to the conclusion they don't need guns, bombs or gas chambers to eliminate us; War is messy and costly.

They have decided to do it with fiscal policy, denying food, housing, healthcare & education. Taking our data, our freedom, now even our air & water. We have everything we need to survive here, all of us, very comfortably. All the land, energy, air, water, food, shelter, love and kindness we need was already here, free, until someone decided to charge us for it. Scarcity is manufactured, a tool for control.

The next mass extinction event is money."

Found my first scene render from when I was learning TrueSpace to do 3D product design back in 2003. The second pic is the first successful mesh upload I did during the mesh beta in #SecondLife, June ‎23, ‎2011, ‏‎4:08am. Good times.
My first 3D scene render from 2003 using TrueSpace 6, this image shows the corner of a room with a wood floor and a textured brown wall meeting a white wall. On the floor sit 4 perfect spheres, one each of chrome, silver, gold and brown leather. The rendering is done to illustrate the materials and lighting through reflections and shadows.Image of me sitting on an android, my first successful mesh upload for Second Life on the test grid.

Though I do feel it tends to be better if you smoke the broccoli before making the rest of the meal, going slow on low. That way it really brings out the flavor of all the food.😁

While only learning of it recently, it's quite good and not at all unusual. Flavor & texture wise, similar to having a good fried chicken biscuit. I don't use maple syrup with it, as some do; I tried that and it was ok but not something I'd make again. I prefer savory with some white or brown gravy.
