Break out the trumpets... it's his Second LifeŽ!
Jack Pitts ponders a post by Dedric Mauriac where Dedric was wondering about... well, something Merle Widget had brought up a while back.
Why don't people utilize the sky more for placing things? Why do people build walls at all? Why do people insist on building models of things that exist in RL or could possibly exist in RL when there's the tools to create the impossible, fanciful, and amazing?
What's up there?
Well, looking above Edloe, there's a few skyboxes up there, but I don't mess with skyboxes these days. They're my neighbors, co-owners, and friends. They put skyboxes up there for a reason, right? And if I had one up there, they wouldn't mess with mine. Common courtesy.
The skypalace was up there over the commons, but Raz put that back in his pocket to save on sim prims.
Club 301 is the roller rink over Buffy and Raz's parcels. It's a fun place to throw parties, and I look forward to games of avatar polo/hockey.
Oh, and the planet Mars is 600 meters over Piper Point. Sometime this week, I'm going to sldieshow that thing so it cycles through various planet textures.
Why? Why the hell not?
When I was at SoHo, I experimented a bit and had vanishing frames melting up into the sky from the art gallery. The snapshot is in my gallery somewhere...
I've been drawing out what it would take to do a similar thing for the clocktower, but I don't think I'll head down that route.
(Jack's tightened up the intro a bit... gets into the discussion and observations quicker. I like.)
