In praise of the subtitle and translation team - they make it possible for everyone to follow the talks at HIE in real time!
Here's an interview with them... https://hieopensim.blogspot.com/2025/04/viva-subtitles.htm...

First, just a general piece of advice.
If Xenon Darrow ever offers to drive you somewhere, and if there is a bus involved in her plans, make sure your travel insurance is up to date.
Here's a roundup of recent stuff in opensim that ended up on the HG Safari blog.
An unusual Easter Hunt that starts on April 20

Okay, not too shabby. Put together this look from a bunch of Dorenas World starter avis. OSgrid seems to be fully running, ran around a few other grids and it seems to have stabilized, great job guys! As I said before, I do think I'll use open source content in my OSg account (mostly...). Time for RL bed in NY, see ya later!

Oh I would've stayed all night
If you told me that you were right
But I couldn't find any signs
And now I know that I'm runnin'
I wanted it more than anything
I could've been your next of kin
But you never said the words and
Now I know that I'm runnin'
Say
"We got it
Baby. We got it good" And I'll be all yours" Wish you would
Wish you would But it turns out you ain't what you said you was
Layin' with our heads up
Lookin' at the stars
You could be the next one to break my heart
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Baby
We had it
Thought it was good
Say
"We got it
Babe
We got it good"
Yeah
I thought it was magic
That I knew you would
Say
"We got it
Babe
We got it good"
Ooh
It's no one man's fault
I was a hopeless fool but it's all my fault that I fell for you but it's not my fault that I got away
It's no one man's fault
I was a hopeless fool but it's all my fault that I fell for you but it's not my fault that I got away

I just recently updated the Menkaure Temple at the Egyptian display area to PBR textures and a fully redone pool area. Includes the temple, the pool area with plants and prim water, a gold sarcophagus, and a gold firepit. Click the Egyptian teleport sign inside the lobby to get there.

The original for this temple sits on Luxor and serves as my temporary home there. A version of this was used as an OSFest2023 memorial to Veri McMaster who passed away in 2022. I recently donated her version to Kitely to be permanently displayed on their upcoming Memorial region, since Kitely was her home.

We would like to wish everybody a beautiful easter !!
We work a lot and I work to in both RL and fixing the areas as much as I can. I have help but do a lot to by myself at the areas. It will take time before we can open Vendetta but I prefer to do a lot now when the GRID is closed. All to make the regions as I wish. If you want to add your pop up shop at our area or be a part of the team as builder just send me a IM and I will contact you. We have a lot of great builders and creators on opensim and we wanna be part of that to create a wonderful GRID that people wanna be a part of. You are the ones that makes opensim Alive and that the GRIDS can be open. Thank you to all who support us in our work to make a beautiful GRID.

David Bowie: Meister der Verwandlung und Ikone der Popkultur

Ein greller Scheinwerfer erfasst eine Bühne. Ein Mikrofonständer steht bereit. Die Luft knistert vor Erwartung. Diese Szenerie könnte unzählige Momente in der Karriere von David Bowie einleiten, einem Künstler, dessen Essenz die ständige Transformation war. Doch jener Abend des 3. Juli 1973 im Hammersmith Odeon, London, brannte sich ins kollektive Gedächtnis ein. Mit funkelndem Outfit betritt Bowie als sein Alter Ego Ziggy Stardust die Bühne und verkündet mit einem Hauch von Dramatik: „This is not only the last show of the tour, but it’s the last show that we’ll ever do.“ Die Spiders from Mars legen langsam ihre Instrumente nieder. Die Zeit scheint stillzustehen. Es ist der inszenierte Tod einer Kunstfigur, ein Schockmoment für die Fans, aber für Bowie nur ein weiterer Wendepunkt. Dieser Abschied von Ziggy Stardust markierte nicht das Ende, sondern vielmehr die Blaupause für eine Karriere, die von radikaler Neuerfindung, künstlerischer Risikobereitschaft und genreübergreifender Brillanz geprägt war – der stetige Wandel als Konstante einer Legende.
