ALL-PRIM ROADKILL CAFE is here!!!
Finally, after many many hours of intense labor, it’s ready for Prime Time! Each item in the build is hand-crafted out of ordinary prims. There are no sculpties, no mesh, nothing to get hung about.
Everything in the build is totally separable. Want one grape? Just copy the grape cluster and unlink the copy. Same with the burgers and anything else you want to examine or use differently.
After a while working with this, you’ll be able to craft up virtually anything with just simple prims!
Keep in mind that none of these instruments are sculpted prims or mesh…it’s all done with prims, straight and simple, and GODD textures that we’ve had and used for decades in our GODD video games.
Go here & take a look. Of course, you’ll need to be in Second Life to do it. This layout of a high-fashion New York Loft contains a large number of my original artworks and a selection of fine designer furnishings, and it will be completed, if all goes well, sometime in the next 24 hours. It’s a work area, so please have the good sense not to touch anything. Thanks. Here’s the address:

I’ve been terrifically busy lately, doing several things; the first is finishing work on the lower levels of the Ashram, and this is going well. Secondly, development of the use of the marketplace for Shamanic Skill Expansion, and Thirdly, my plan for world domination and control through the marketing of God World in my Pocket stuff.
I’ll explain how it works. Basically, you can stuff anything, however large and complex it might be, even a whole world, into one of my Magic Pouches, and it will not only stay there, it can be retrieved and if you’ve a place to rezz it, you can live in it, explore it, use it and so forth.
Each one of my God World in My Pocket items is a real place with its own time and lives. Remember in Hitch-Hiker’s Guide that mysterious satchel or bag that his aunt gave him that could hold absolutely anything, no matter how big??? Well, that’s what my Magic Pouch does! It can hold an entire universe, probably several billion of them, as a matter of fact, although the sorting and retrieval system would be nightmarishly slow at mere lightspeed.
My first experiment is with what you see in the screenshots — Norton Street West. It has everything and is lavish to the extreme, but it doesn’t matter, unless you try to manifest it in a sim, in which case, someone will complain. But in a Magic Pouch or Bag, it does no harm and has ZERO land impact!
In a sense, you are in the world, and yet you’re wearing it or carrying it, somewhat like the “Galaxy” amuletic necklace on the cat in the first Men in Black film, right??? The contact you will receive from this effect is absolutely staggering, mind-blowing, and guaranteed to work, and work so good you’ll be astonished from toe to crown, or your Lindens back!!!
If that isn’t Magic with a Capital M, what is???
The screenshots of Norton Street West say it all. It’ll be up for sale in just a few days, on my “EJ Gold Guru” shop, called The God Particle in Second Life Marketplace.
I’ll soon have Cosmo Street and my Dad, Horace L. Gold’s, creation — The Old Curiowsity Shoppe (from our collaboration sci-fi stories in Retro SF and other novels) ready for sale, and many more treasures. Be sure to ask about the Magic Pouch at the ICW tomorrow!!!
See You At The Top!!!

Finally got the technical stuff working, can now sell complete outfits, individual items and scripted rigged mesh, in boxes and other delivery systems. You can find my offerings at several locations, to be revealed sometime soon. Meanwhile, enjoy the first pieces that made it up.

There are a total of 56 Tibetan Retreat Chalets available. They are just outside Gorby’s Place. The homes are spacious and useful for meditation and other Ashram practices. Prices depend on location and furnishings. Unfurnished homes start at an extra $10 per month above the basic support. If you cannot afford this, a home will be furnished anyway. Closest to Gorby’s Place, fully furnished, we ask an additional $50 per month support to cover the prim count loss to the region.

These are first-come, first-served. You get a name post outside your door to identify your home. Doors are lockable, but it’s advised you keep a teleport to the inside of your home, just in case you lose the key or the door doesn’t work, which happens when you don’t click exactly right, or an internet packet-loss occurs.

Interiors are very spacious and generous. You can see out through the one-way windows, but they’re visually blocked when viewed from outside. The fireplace keeps the home very cozy in wintertime.
After many dozens of hours on Avatar Physics and other Impossible Roads to Travel in Second Life, I came across a rather startling event. There was no one anywhere near me, in the depths of my workspace, yet I felt a presence, a definite presence. I was being Watched. We all know the feeling, and mostly it just isn’t so, but in this case, I knew it, without a doubt — yet there are no windows nearby, not that you could see through, anyhow. So…where was the Observer? It suddenly dawned upon me, and I chuckled with wry appreciation. My Avatar was winking at me, smiling, following my motion, and my hand was nowhere near the mouse or keyboard — what’s more, my computer is so 20th century that my screen isn’t even the touch n’ swipe kind. Yet it was undeniable. There she was, staring into my space, up close for the first time. Sure, from a distance, there had been some sightings, but this was really in yer face. I wondered if my Avatar could hear me, but was unable to determine yes or no. My guess is that we’d have to develop some sort of voice interface, not sure how that could be done or if it’d even have a chance of working. I went right to work to try to determine the exact “factors” that had opened the door to Look-Back, and was soon rewarded with very specific (and very spooky) results. It turns out that there are very specific things you can do to open that door for your Avatar to look directly through the screen into your world. I’ll introduce more about this at the upcoming In-Ashram Halloween Workshop!! Reserve your spot now!

Leslie-Ann in Pre-Halloween Witches’ Gear, at the “Soul Bakers” installation just in front of the Not-So-Secret Tibetan Mountaintop Temple — guess where???
Yep, they’re newly installed at the mountaintop near the Stasis Circle. You can’t miss it. What they’re for is when your Avatar has hit an achievement or an Initiation that you want to lock down at a First Stage Level (one step above organic human life), such as running an Orb to completion (ask what that means if you don’t know) or it could be that you got a job and want to set that in as a life-accomplishment. ASK before using, please, it makes a difference which color baker you employ for what purpose!
See You At The Top!!! As a matter of fact, that’s where I am now.

Leslie Ann presents the new Isiris Mausoleum installation at Old Town, 3200 metres — following is a transcript of the builder’s description of the Mausoleum:
THE MYTH WE CALL “DEATH” —
Isiris Mausoleum is more than a simple crypt, indeed it is a palace dedicated to the great beyond. It is designed to be an experiential journey through the afterlife based on ancient, medieval and even more contemporary myths. As you enter it you are greeted by traditional omens and symbols of passing to the other side. As you explore you will find traps, ghosts, and clues about your journey.
In the lowest level of Isiris Mausoleum you will encounter the Underworld where Charon will carry you on his boat along the River Styx to continue your journey to the higher levels.
