Barby's Musical Background
Barby is a seasoned performer who has been pleasing audiences for three years in Second Life as CelticMaidenWarrior Lancaster, and now brings her awesome talent to SpotON3D! She plays all your old favorites from America, Eagles, Carole King, Carly Simon, Van Morrison....etc, etc. She knows 2001 tunes, and if she can't do the song you request, she is sure to be able to substitute one you won't be disappointed in. She even learns songs that her fans have requested she learn.

Celtic taught herself to play the guitar in 1971 when she was 13 years old. Her first performance was at an 8th grade talent contest, for which she sang Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee”. She spent her teen years in the middle of her bed with her John Denver song books. When she left home to join the Air Force, she married and quickly started a family which left little time for guitar playing. During the mid 1980’s she found comfort in performing worship music for her mission church in Okinawa, Japan, as well as singing in a contemporary Christian band which toured around the island. She performed in the USOs for American Military servicemen and their families. Celtic has also broadcast live on Japanese radio from the Okinawa Zoo, and Botanical Gardens. She traveled to the Philippines and performed for 5000 people in a dilapidated athletic auditorium, and traveled around the barrios sharing music with the local people. Now Celtic is playing everything from folk to classic rock and easy listening, and rounds it off with traditional Celtic ballads (which she does acapella).

Did you make it to TerryLynn Melody's live video concert on SpotON3D?

On Friday, May 24, we were very fortunate to have the talented TerryLynn Melody perform for us in SpotON3D's first "Alive" concert, which featured her avatar playing in world in front of a large video screen showing TerryLynn performing via a simultaneous live video feed.  It was a great experience, and we hope that this will be the first of many such concerts in SpotON3D that follow this format.

The performance featured original songs from her upcoming compilation, "Watch That Turn", which is scheduled to be released in 2013.

If you missed TerryLynn's concert, then shame on you :)  But I'm happy to say that it was recorded for all to enjoy!  It's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWADtcPIpZs, but you can also watch it below:

If you want to watch more videos by TerryLynn, then subscribe to her Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/TerryLynnMelody. Also, be sure to visit her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/terrylynnmelodymusic.  I encourage you to experience as much as you can of this great performer.

Thanks TerryLynn, for gracing our stage on Friday.  We hope to see you back soon!

Pop-up Ads, Be Gone!

Recently, many of you who visited our blog site were being suddenly redirected away to a different page, which contained various ads.  The only way to see the blog page was to use the back button, which may or may not have redirected you again.  Not everyone was experiencing this, but it was happening often enough to be extremely annoying.

We traced down the behavior to one of the "gadgets" that display along the right-hand side of the blog.  Removing that gadget seems to have fixed the problem.

Hopefully we have seen the last of these ads, and you will now be able to visit our blog site in peace!

___________________________________________

On Saturday, May 11, 2013, at 11am Pacific time, we at SpotON3D are pleased to be hosting the very first event for the Metaverse Cultural Series 2013!   Avacon Inc., who put together the series, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the growth, enhancement, and development of the metaverse and 3D Web spaces, by holding gatherings to promote educational and scientific inquiry into these spaces.

This event, entitled "The Armchair Author Show", will be held at the SpotON3D Theater.  Once you're logged into SpotON3D, you can click the above link to be transported directly to the show.  Or better yet, click the 3DWeb Widget at the top of this blog to log in AND go directly to the theater location!

The "Armchair Author Show" will be hosted by Adele Ward of Ward Wood Publishing (http://www.wardwoodpublishing.co.uk). Adele will be interviewing author Patricia Averbach, whose debut novel Painting Bridges was released recently.

Author Liz Rozenburg says this about Patricia's novel: "Pat Averbach's Painting Bridges is a graceful debut novel of grief and redemption. Part memorial, part love story, part coming-into-one's-own, it is a classic narrative that reaches out to every kind of reader. "

Patricia workshopped her novel in Second Life®, so the 3D Web has played an important part in her success as an author. In November, her debut poetry collection will be published as a prize for winning the International Lumen/ Camden Poetry Competition judged by acclaimed American poet Anne Stevenson.

 Patricia's novel is published by Bottom Dog Press, Inc., as part of their Harmony Series (http://smithdocs.net/harmony_series).  You can purchase it directly from here with your PayPal account.  It is also available for sales on Amazon.com®.

Resident Profile: Alicia Stone

I am pleased to welcome Alicia Stone to our community.  She has been keeping herself very busy recently by churning out a variety of free or low-priced items for all to use, including texture bundles, furniture, and buildings.

Alicia's goals here include helping to build the community and providing much needed content for visitors.  Although we already have quite a few items listed on our marketplace, we always appreciate those who are willing to offer free items to help newcomers quickly get up to speed, so that they don't feel like they are being left to fend for themselves.

Alicia also graciously hosted the April 7th meeting of our 3dWeb Think Tank on her home grid, http://openmetaverseproject.com.

On SpotON3D, Alicia works out of Stoneworks Island, a quiet region that gives her a place to be creative.

(1) Tell me a little about your background and the type of work you do.  Would also like to know about any Web sites you host, etc.

I am a former Web Developer who has been trained in Information Technology/Visual Communications and Electronics Engineering.  I have always loved the sciences, both computer and physical, and am currently seeking to do as Benjamin Franklin and "Do good unto my fellow man."

By this I mean that I am actively developing an Open Source Repository where users will be able to find asset data of all sorts.

In addition, I am maintaining as part of that project a 3D Web Grid at http://openmetaverseproject.com.  The grid allows open region registration by users and is entirely funded either out of my own pocket or by donations made by the sites users.

To boil it down to what I do now, I see myself as an Open Source 3D Web Developer. With the recent announcement that Linda (Kellie) will no longer be posting new Free Use assets, it is going to take me working double time to make up the difference to help keep Open Source thriving in the metaverse.

(2) What other online world or worlds are you in, and for how long?

I first started in Second Life about 8 years ago, I put it to the side at the time due to constraints in my real life, but had returned to it 4 years ago to explore how 3D Web could be used for real-world applications.

I tinkered with OSGrid for a while, but found some things dissettling there.

Not satisfied with any Open Source Grid, I had come to the conclusion that I must do my own, which in this case takes the form of the Open Metaverse Project Grid.

(3) How did you get introduced to online worlds in general, how did you see them fitting into your goals, and what about them has made you want to stay?

Oh boy, that goes way back to the BBS days when MUD's [Multi-User Dungeons, text-based virtual worlds] were popular. I can remember battling things out in those dungeons, and yes this does predate the popularization of the Internet.

But the lesson I learned from it is that a communication tool such as virtual environments (text or 3D) can be used for great good in this world, so I have spent the last 4 years studying LL/OS based technologies extensively.

(4) What do you like most/least about online worlds?

Well most of the time when I am at home, i am dressed in my PJ's - the 3D Web lets me be a clothes horse without having to worry about closet space.  Additionally I think that things like living a virtual life can be empowering to the individual who may not be able to live a life in the real-world with all the amenities they enjoy in the 3D Web.

(5) What sort of things do you enjoy doing in them... for example, building/scripting, designing, performing, clubbing, etc?

Honestly most of the time I am too busy with about 5 irons in the fire trying to get work done to allow myself to have too much time for fun. But social interaction, even if it is with professional contacts, is something I look forward to as I don't get many visitors in real life.

(6) How did you learn about SpotON3D?

I actually learned about it from a free ad on Linda's Website.  I had heard the name, and granted at the time of SpotON3D's initial inception there was controversy. But I have since learned what I need to know and make my own choices, and my choice is to support the wonderful staff here by trying to get as many of my creations on Synergy [SpotON3D's online marketplace, http://spotonsynergy.com] as possible, with an economic healthy mix of freebies to premium goods.

(7) What sort of things do you hope to do/accomplish in SpotON3D?

Well, establishing professional contacts is important, but first and foremost I come here to socialize with people.  However, I do hope to make a real impact and spur creation and listing of items on Synergy by other users by offering as many full perm building components as I can via Synergy.

(8) Anything else interesting about yourself you want to share?

I have a cat named Bill that I cannot keep out of my iced tea. He enjoys switching on and off light switches if he can reach them.

In case you didn't realize it (and chances are you didn't), we have an actual art/photography gallery in SpotON3D!  It's the SVM Gallery, being developed by one of our residents, Riley Hope, and can be found on the Mag Mell sim.

For Windows users, click the link below to be transported directly to the SVM Gallery!
Simply sign in using your SpotON3D avatar name and password. If you have never been to SpotON3D before, you will be directed to a screen where you can set up your account - a very quick and painless process.

Riley's latest endeavor is a photo exhibition by Melusina Parkin, entitled "Found in the Attic." The photos are of images which Melusina has taken in Second Life™, then adjusted through various photographic techniques, ending up with images that have a very retro feel.  The photos are of avatars in various settings, and are very well done.  They are in done in sepia tones, and are displayed on boards located in the center of the 5th floor gallery.

Along the outer walls of the gallery, you will see more of Melusina's work, this time in more of an architectural Art Deco style.  She presents the  geometric shapes of buildings in a very pleasing way, and they are equally as fascinating.

While you're exploring, be sure to visit the other four floors of the SVM Gallery.  There's a teleporter located inconspicuously at the left-hand side of the large window.  Yes, the gallery floors all have a nice seaside view, and the lower two floors have an underwater view!

Windows users can use the button near the top of this post to come directly into the gallery from your Web page.  (Unfortunately, our Web portal does not currently support Macs or Linux systems.) You can also register on our Web site at https://spoton3d.com/register/, then download our standalone viewer, which supports all operating systems.

We decided to do rolling restarts first ...

We expect the rolling restarts to be done in about another 30 -40 minutes for those whose Sim name starts above the letter "L". After that we'll announce when we'll be restarting the servers themselves. Sorry for the confusion and we appreciate your patience.

Emergency Maintenance

Due to some weirdness in a couple of new sims our server admins advised us to restart our servers. We'll be back in in about 10-30 minutes if all goes as expected. If not, keep your eyes here to check out the forecast.

Come hear the incredible Barby CelticWarrior  performing live on the SpotON3D Web World!  Her concert is this afternoon, Sunday, February 3, starting at 1pm Pacific time at the Flamingo Beach Rock Stage.

The stage can be found in SpotON3D at http://3Durl.com/map/ veesome/lambda/213/188/28.


A Great Performer with an Amazing Background
Barby is a seasoned performer who has been pleasing audiences for three years in Second Life as CelticMaidenWarrior Lancaster, and now brings her awesome talent to SpotON3D! She plays all your old favorites from America, Eagles, Carole King, Carly Simon, Van Morrison....etc, etc. She knows 2001 tunes, and if she can't do the song you request, she is sure to be able to substitute one you won't be disappointed in. She even learns songs that her fans have requested she learn.

Celtic taught herself to play the guitar in 1971 when she was 13 years old. Her first performance was at an 8th grade talent contest, for which she sang Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee”. She spent her teen years in the middle of her bed with her John Denver song books. When she left home to join the Air Force, she married and quickly started a family which left little time for guitar playing. During the mid 1980’s she found comfort in performing worship music for her mission church in Okinawa, Japan, as well as singing in a contemporary Christian band which toured around the island. She performed in the USOs for American Military servicemen and their families. Celtic has also broadcast live on Japanese radio from the Okinawa Zoo, and Botanical Gardens. She traveled to the Philippines and performed for 5000 people in a dilapidated athletic auditorium, and traveled around the barrios sharing music with the local people. Now Celtic is playing everything from folk to classic rock and easy listening, and rounds it off with traditional Celtic ballads (which she does acapella).
