Akimeta had the fortune of working with Stormie Frua recently in the creation of her sim, Trashy Cats. Two main build areas were created to spec based on the general concept Stormie was looking for and the style of work she wanted to house inside. The surrounding area was also landscaped by...

I will be at SLCC all weekend taking in a number of talks from various parts of Second Life – if you see me, why not say hello? You can also take part in some of the broadcasts on the SLCC sims, named SLCC 1 thru 4.

If you’ve been away from SL for much of the day or don’t follow the value of the L$ against USD, chances are you haven’t heard of the insane movement on the LindeX that’s gone on for the better part of this afternoon.
