I visited this yesterday and loved the complexity within the simplicity. Takes the idea of earthworks and land art to a whole new level. It must have been great to have such a large canvas to work with in EoO sim.

Palin in book: McCain aides kept me 'bottled up'

The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin: The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family. In Palin's new memoir, "Going Rogue," she confirms reports of tension between her aides and those of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. The vice presidential candidate confirms that she had wanted to speak on election night, but was denied the chance and says she was kept "bottled up" from reporters during the campaign.


Palin also writes harshly of CBS anchor Kati

"Land of Illusion" Machinima

RMB City Blog:
by Gianna Yebut, June 12, 2009



Going back to the concept of ‘heterotopy’ (other space), today I’ve come upon a beautiful machinima entitled ‘Land of Illusion’ by Beijing media artists Lily Xiying Yang and Honglei Li (杨熙瑛, 李宏磊).

It’s a very dense and multilayered tale about freedom of thought and cultural isolation and it interestingly superimposes different Chinese traditions and folklor… Continue

"Prometheus" Takes Second Life Expressionist Machinima Ever Closer to the Sun

In the Second Life machinima "Prometheus", the Greek legend is retold in bold imagery and blood-soaked symbolism, as if the story of the man who defied the gods had become a Dali-esque fever dream. Created by Luca Lisci, an Italian artist who is known in Second Life as Vive Voom, it's a glorious visual feast you should best watch in a darkened room with the lights turned low:
