Proving that the Grid is flat



In an effort to scientifically prove that the Grid is flat and not round, a team of London City boffins  built an environmentally friendly dung powered rocket to take a team of researchers into the stratosphere and beyond.

These brave pioneers traveled to the outer reaches of space, before realizing that physics is limited to 32 prims.  As they sat marooned at 1500 meters, eying each other up as potential ballast that could be jettisoned, an idea struck them.

Just like Apollo Wosname, perhaps the brave four, could return back to earth in their lunar module, which just happened to be a retro Sofa from prim solutions.

For a fleeting moment on re-entry to the 'Land of Hub', out of the corner of their eyes, they spotted the horizon, and guess what!?  It was flat!

We believe this to be true proof of concept, and the first ever verified research that absolutely and irrevocably proves for all  time that the grid is flat, and not round!

A hero's welcome was waiting for our brave astronauts as they touched down gracefully.

A month 'til the big day



A great night was had at the Ronettes last night in London City.  Playing to a packed house, the girls sang all of their famous songs and festive tunes from the 1960's Phil Spector era.



The party fun continues today at 11am SL (7pm UK) With Substation.  Retro sounds with Bailey and Coffee.

Philip Rosedale, Creator of Second Life visits London City




Visitors to London City had the pleasure of meeting my friend, Philip Rosedale, the founder of Linden Lab and creator of Second Life on Thursday evening.

Philip talked at length about the creation of Second Life and his ideas on getting it started and then went on to explain his visions for the VR High Fidelity platform he now works on.

He wanted to know how Residents felt the mainland compared to private islands, ideas for improvements of avatars, keeping regions up and running all the time without throttling them.  All in all a very interesting visit.

He was also very interested in the London City community and how this estate retains its users.  He was very complimentary to our team and our master builder.

What's more at the time of this article, Philip is still in the region.




And here is the definitive answer to which preoccupies us.. sort of:

[12:12] Elise Banx: ok i want to know philip... is second life a game?
[12:12] Philip Rosedale: not in my mind Elise.  But I think it's a hard/deep question.  Is RL a game?  Are careers?

Remembrance



This mornings Remembrance service from the Cenotaph.




Switching on the Illuminations



It was the opening night of the London Illuminations last night.  Thanks to everyone who came to see the Big O in concert, and the switching on of Billy as we shoved 30 thousand volts through his nipple electrodes.
