I moved the surf shop across the bay to the little island where the waves begin. This morning I stocked the shop with Men's swim trunks, bikinis, sunglasses, sun dresses and hoodies. Surfboards are display only. Mine is progressing but will be awhile working the anims out. If and when that time comes I will give my board freely.
Lillysparks of Grid Tumbler set up a rezzer in my bay (thank you Lilly 💗✌🏽) her board is supreme and surfs the waves nicely. Check out her boards at Grid Tumbler https://opensimworld.com/hop/91532 Come enjoy a day at the beach.

OARConv 3.8.9 is now out. I took a hard look at the LOD processing, I had noticed that things seemed to fizzle out when I zoomed out. I was successful in making the LOD processes more like the viewer, so you can now have high LOD if you want by setting it that way. It is good enough that I am redoing all teh meshes in the museum with it...at once :-) https://maze.bz/OARConv.html picture reflect the change..enjoy yourself!

I created a surf shop today at Catena di Isole. I moved the sand writings to here and also the surf pose. I will be adding beach stuff here as I can. The Waves of Courage was the first surf comp in Opensim, so thought that would be a perfect name for my shop. I have been making progress on the surfboard with many edits and fine tuning, I am happy to have gotten this far, I really appeciate the coders now. Swing by say hi anytime!

Xpetite stolpert nicht in ein Outfit – sie schwebt in eine Stimmung.

Vier Looks, die so tun, als hätten sie ihren eigenen kleinen Lebensplan.

Die eine will raus in die Welt, die nächste will bewundert werden, eine braucht nur guten Kaffee und die letzte… na ja, die weiß selbst nicht, wie gut sie aussieht.

Zusammen wirken sie wie eine Mini‑Gang, die nichts Böses im Schilde führt – außer vielleicht, ein paar Herzen zu verwirren.

Und ganz ehrlich: Dafür sind sie perfekt ausgestattet.

😹 WHY ARE WE STILL MAKING SONGS?!

We asked ourselves this question somewhere around song number eight.

Then Boo started another beat.
Jimi found another riff.
Marc said: "What if the bass does THIS?"
Das Tier hit a drum fill that had no business being that dramatic.
NOIR played something mysterious.
And suddenly...

...there was another song.

Maybe we're making songs because silence keeps losing the argument.

Maybe because every strange idea deserves a soundtrack.

Maybe because somewhere out there, one listener needs exactly that ridiculous groove at exactly the right moment.

Or maybe we're just completely unable to stop.

The algorithms don't know.
The spreadsheets don't know.
Even we don't know.

But creativity often comes from showing up again and again, not from waiting for inspiration. Many musicians describe the process itself as the reward, regardless of trends or metrics.

So the answer is:

WHY ARE WE STILL MAKING SONGS?!

Because Boo still has batteries.
Because Das Tier found another drum fill.
Because the neon is still glowing.
Because the audience keeps smiling.
Because the next song might be the one that makes somebody's day.

And because honestly...

we're having way too much fun to stop.
