My There Avatar
So, i think that my there.com avatar is really too fancy for me. Check him out. He isn't half as intesting as my second life Avatar. What do you think?

By the way my avatars name is apfeljung, the same as the second life one. IM me sometime if you are there.

I miss that environment. It was quite beautiful.

New Banner and My Jeans
I changed the elmwood banner to celebrate version 1.2. I also got a screenshot of the new "temporary" jeans I textured for there.com. They 80's style ripped but cost me $4 to fabricate. Its kind of a rip off in there. This whole scenario is rather ridiculous in that I would proably never spend $4 on a pair of jeans in real life. As a matter of a fact, while discussing over dinner, the three of us realised we had not bought any new clothes in two years.

American Airboat
Category: games
I gave in and bought an American Airboat for $20. I figured that it really suited my nationalist patriotism and it picks up all the ladies

I am convinced
Category: opinion
No art is about the medium or asthetic but about your response. While at the Rough and Ready thing at Fusion, I thought I was losing sight with the artists vision and then I realized whatever visions I was having was the artists vision.

Virtuality and Dreams
Recently, I have noticed a side effect of virtual worlds is really vivid dreaming. It is perhaps an important aspect of the experience that is often overlooked.

I keep having these dreams of the dune buggy I designed for my Avatar "apfeljung" in that is so convinceing that I wake up believing I'm having an accident. I even visit my virtual house in my dreams. This cycle is often reversed in that my modeling is inspired from my dreams, which to me, demonstrates that this medium is allowing me to share my dream space with others by adding "a little electricity."
