Troppo Yacht Club

The Troppo Yacht Cub  is slowly growing prim by prim. The marina part is mostly finished,  we have plenty of space for further expansion if we need to. The outside of the  Club building is partly finished the bar area and interior decorations still to come

More and more Avatars are going Troppo  It’s understandable  Going Troppo is an Avatar sort of thing to do.  A mix of constant SL sun  PinaColadas and hard SN  Rock& Blues makes people a bit Troppo. What are the symptoms? A lackadaisic way of  behaviour,  no care attitude, increased alcohol  intake  arms and legs moving in a dance sort of manner shouts of Bundy, Beer and give me more a sure sign of Gone Troppo. This symptom is often found around the SN Rock&Blues Club in Troppo . Dont Fret “The lost band of Troppos” are looking after you feeding you a stream of Rock , Blues and Explosive Concerts after all going Troppo is a highly desirable thing to do. Go Troppo  on the 26th of June 4pm PDT.  Scorpions will Rock you. Simone  April and the crew will feed you all sorts of  Troppo.  The Band will play  and you be screaming for Bundy and Beer…….. “Going Troppo is all about pleasure and Cheers”…..

My HTC magic phone had an OTA update today from Android 1.5 to 1.6 I have only had the phone for less than a week and it obviously had the older version of Android installed when I got it. I did try to force an update but no luck, then asked the friendly people at Vodafone to look in to it, the update come automatically today. It downloaded over 3G. Why? I don’t know The Wi Fi was on and it would have been my preferred way to download but no big deal.

I downloaded Google Goggles and started to play with visual search. It is impressive, I know it is only the beginning but still I can’t help but marvel at it all. I took a photo of my camera and in Google search it picked it 100% right. The barcode scanner also works well, even my tiny qr code on my Skype contact list scans in perfect, then with a tap on the screen the details are in “my contacts” just wonderful. GPS, Maps, Google Latitude, Gmail, Picasa and the rest all perform just like on my PC. Now I want to take some of the 3D homes we built in Opensim and place them on vacant lots of land, show them on the phone camera via a marker or GPS position, merge them in to the picture as some form of AR ? This might be possible with some help from 3DI in the browser plugin anyone have some ideas please ?? I think an interesting and fun way to demo new ideas in home designs, town planning and wot not……

You are dreaming!

Yes I know it has been said to me a few times “but I am not the only one” Working with 3D marketing and Virtual environments we try to imagine  the future so  “dreaming” comes natural. Will the Super NovaDreamer kit help us? The idea of mastering your dreams is an interesting thought.

What Causes Vivid Dreams?
Take Control with Lucid Dreaming
The problem with vivid dreams is separating them from waking reality. However, the practice of lucid dreaming, in which you become increasingly aware of your dreams until you actually develop the ability to control them, may offer a solution that doesn’t stem from any of the root causes listed above. Oneironauts, or lucid dreamers, train themselves to alter their dream experiences to include flight, exotic travel, delicious tastes, and any other vivid experiences they desire. Researchers at the Lucidity Institute at Stanford University have developed a Super NovaDreamer kit that helps you recognize “dream signs” or signals that tell you that you’re dreaming. With practice, you learn to recognize and manipulate these dream signs to dictate the elements that will appear in your dream. It’s like a virtual reality game in your head.
