Hello and welcome to the party, glad to have you aboard!

I was lucky, I had just been working on a face project in Second Life and I had a bunch of square-shaped head images built up right before Jamie opened the forum, so it just had to shrink them a little and pick my favorite! :)

Your signature ...

It looks awesome, I'm so glad that you got to attend! I've watched those streams before and I bet it's even more entertaining in person. I didn't even know where they were taking place, to be honest when I watch something online it always seems like it's just occurring off in the aether somewhere ...

In these very interesting times, people come up with actually interesting ways to contribute to the health of their communities. Before I share the link, Terry is (was?) an actual real-world amusement park designer whose true love is making, talking about, and playing girly games. Clearly, this why ...

Wow, that looks amazing, you did such a good job! The seams look clean. They're going to love it! And stay nice and warm because of it, too. Win/win!

It took me a while to really think about it, and while I don't think it's my favourite per se, I don't really think I have a 'favourite' at all.

Looping back up, I do miss IRC mostly because it avoided a lot of the traps that other messaging services seem to be unable to fall into. I do have a friend that still uses it and has a small server for friends but catching anyone else in it was such a flash in the pan for me (time zones) that I ...

Gopher? Now there's a protocol I haven't heard of in a looooong time.

Not to say that I disagree, but I find it fascinating. Oldschool beef with the rise of HTTP or a desire to return to the simpler times of early net? The only thing missing from your response is downloading movies from multi ...

I'm going to start off with my personal favorite, the Internet Archive . It's best known as the site with the Wayback Machine where you can view webpages as they appeared years or even decades ago, but honestly I use the rest of the site a whole lot more!

The Archive has a ton of books, movies ...

Let's get some p o s i t i v e v i b e s going here! Sure, there's lots of things that we wish the internet was better at, but there's some bright spots out there, too, right?

Maybe it's a cute blog that tends to fit your mood juuuuust right, or maybe it's a search engine that doesn't throw a bunch ...
