Declare war against the enemies of peace: VOTE and wear the "World is for Obama" top hat - It's free

Disclaimer: I am not representing the opinions of the members of the Not Possible IRL group, although I believe that many share my views.

It's time to take America back from the enemies of peace, the environment, human rights, our civil rights, women's rights, universal health care, education, space exploration and science in general, among other things. The global economy is in a shambles thanks to their greed, and our children and elderly will be among the first to pay the price. I've had it with these eight miserable years under the Republican administration and I'm not going to take it anymore.

The world wants and needs for the United States to be in the control of a saner, smarter, kinder government. Americans and foreigners... unite!

Obama is a chance for hope. Want to know more? Here's how he stands on the issues.

I commissioned this NPIRL creation by one of my favorite virtual milliners, Spiral Walcher, and am making it available to you as a freebie: teleport directly from here.

Virtual fashions: recycle and reuse that scrap metal in times of economic and environmental woes

With the global economy (and my own) getting slammed every which way, most of my near-future fashion pleasures will likely be derived from the works of virtual designers because, among other things, I'll be spending more time in-world and not going out in Real Life as much, pixelated clothes don't suffer from wear and tear, and I can generally mod them if I grow weary of them. But the #1 reason, for me, is that I love, love, love the new directions that several designers are taking in Second Life®.

One such designer is German cutea Benelli (rez 3/10/2007) who's Grim Bros shop delighted surreal artist and humorist four Yip so much that she thought to share her find.

cutea's brainy collection - she calls it "cyberpunk thingies" - couldn't come at a better time. We must recycle and reuse every scrap...

These days we aren't just recipients of information anymore. We are the information, and we must be plugged in.

Notably, cutea was also blotto epsilon's co-creator for the recent zany bogon flux build - a wonky, wonderful building that rezzes and destroys itself...



...and is also the co-creator - together with Giuseppe Spicoli - of the fun 15 Second Poetry Generator (teleport directly from here). When you play it, keep in mind that there are values assigned to the phrases and you lose points for collecting the clichés.

Teleport to Grim Bros. directly from here.

Max Newbold (aka Beth Harris) of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and I are still looking for more designers of quality NPIRL fashions.

More Burning Life with Nectere Niven - Just a peek

The main build here is clever... funny! Lester and son look on while the world's guts are plumbed for oil. Meanwhile both of these characters open and close eyes, Lester clears his throat, and...

(son farts) Lester: Son! We are in public! On second thought, bottle that, we may need it some day!

Lester: On an average day, American drivers eat up nearly 7 billion miles of pavement - roughly the distance to Pluto and back - getting where they want to be. In the process, they consume enough oil to fill more than 150 supertankers.

Lester: The average office worker uses about 10,000 sheets of paper each year. Annual copy paper use in the U.S. consumes enough wood to build nearly 1 million average homes, and releases pollution equal to over 2 million cars. So much for the paperless office.

Lester: It takes ninety eight tons (88,000 kg) of prehistoric buried plant material to produce each U.S. gallon (3.9 liters) of gasoline, I wonder how much it takes to make your tennis shoes.

Lester: Did you know, sorbic acid, the only actual preservative in Twinkies, comes from petroleum?
