Geez, like_ummm. You’re a fine one to talk. We know who Scout is in world, but who are YOU?

i want to remind everyone that Scott Detritus would have SOME credibility if he informed us of his qualifications, renowned institutions attended etc. etc.

I also want to remind everyone that not being willing to expose such information would make him a hypocrate of the highest degree and not to be trusted.

Just some friendly reminders in case you forgot.

I want to remind everyone that they practically hand out undergrad diplomas to art school students…A GRADUATE degree from a renowned “Fine-Arts department would have given like_ummm SOME credibility…

I believe Starax wasn’t referring to not being influenced, rather that he doesn’t actively seek out the “popular” things in second life so as not to influence his build.

I have the wand. I keep hearing that the Lindens broke it and that’s why he left. However, it still works fine for me. Occasionally I have had an item refuse to rez, but then had the same item rez later. If anyone wants to elaborate on how it is broken, I would like to know. I did get the wand shortly before the departure of Starax, so maybe it had some functionality that I never knew about. Anyway I am glad that Starax is alive and well.

Just wanted to let you know that while our SAIL ON broadcast of September 6 (SLCN.TV) was not the detailed reporting of the IRL piece of September 15, we were perhaps the first to link Starax and the Greenies sims in a media piece. It’s about 40% of the way into the September 6 show at this link: http://slcn.tv/sail-06sep07

Not a big deal I guess after reading other comments here that others knew of the connection long before that. But it’s kinda fun to speculate on the record and find out it’s true.

After some discussion with the editors of the Herald, due to the way Google caches pages, and people quote/link to sites, *removing* a comment is possibly not the best way to retract the comment made above, since it might not be obvious that it has been deleted.

Thus, please disregard my first comment above, I’m publicly retracting it as per request.

My avatar is a work in progress – should be finished soon:

It explores the ways in which different cultures and religions “connect” with spirituality, nature, god, the soul, nothingness etc. Influences include judaism, christianity, kafka, atheism, acupuncture, methods of meditation, artificial intelligence and skulls. I like the punk rock aesthetic – a good idea and three chords is all you need.

I see the avatar as being *the* major form of art in SL. With an avatar you are automatically saying something about the human condition, the way people function in society, virtual identity etc. etc. In comparison a build is mere backdrop.

btw – I have a Fine Arts Degree majoring in sculpture.
