Who Are You? - Reader Survey 2014

I have been blogging for a couple of years now and have shared my rants, tirades, thoughts and feelings about everything or nothing with you all.

Many of you have been coming here to read my blog for several years, others are just passing by, I know that much already from Google Analytics.

That tool also informs me - collectively, not individually - what countries you are from and what language you prefer to read, but there is so much more I want to know about you, my dear readers, and things about you that Google Analytics doesn't tell me.

Today I have posted three surveys on the top right hand side of your screen, I would be grateful if you answered them. I may follow up with new questions at a later date.

The surveys will close at February 9, 2014, at 3AM SLT.

Infinity Space@Southern Charm Today (Updated)

The Infinity Space from NicoleX on Vimeo.

This was a video shot at the opening party for Ultraviolet Alter's concert in Betty Tureaud's installation "Infinity Space" which is rezzed at 2,000 meters over my home-sim Southern Charm.

Tonight they have an encore concert before the installation is removed, I am sorry to say I don't remember what time the concert starts, but last time it was 2PM SLT.

SLurl to the installation

UPDATE 2/2/2014: Well, it seems there was no party although I am certain that I was told there would be one, as that was the reason I was given for extending their use of my sim. However the installation is still up there, so visit it while you are able to, because I am going to ask for it's removal today.

I Hate Facebook Games

Below you see a list of the Games Apps I have blocked on Facebook, in the last three days (since I found where to do it in my settings).

Please get the hint, do not invite me to play games on Facebook!

...but please feel free to poke me as much as you wish...

Bitstrips of the Day

So my Tomais created the two Bitstrips above on Facebook today, but I got back at him with the one below!

#liveandletlove


(via J.M.G.)

About the clip
2,000 people of the city of Stockholm gathered at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium to show their support to the LGBT people of Russia and to sing the most beautiful national anthem in the world.

You can do the same, make your own rainbow version of the song and upload under the hashtag #liveandletlove. You'll find sheet music and lyrics on www.liveandletlove.se.

...

Watch, like on YouTube and share! Show Little Father Putin, the Olympic Committee that we will not forget their homophobia and the Russian LGBT community that we support them in their struggles against the horrendous and discriminating "Gay Propaganda" laws. Gay Rights are Human Rights!

The Olympic Games, Russia & Putin

I was tipped about this post by John Aravosis on the AMERICAblog by the longtime Bock in SecondLife reader, my dear brother, Dejerrity Mycron.

Despite Dej's present sufferings in an old Manhattan building with a malfunctioning boiler and a worthless managing company in the midst of the coldest winter in New York for ages, my lovely and loving brother takes the time and makes the effort to send me tips. Isn't it clear from that fact alone, that the man is completely loveable?

Oh guys, he is single too at the moment so if you would want to meet this gruff diamond in disguise just drop a notecard on my profile and I may set you up for an introduction.

Send your notecards to The McMillan Matchmaking Agency (a part of the BMcM Corporation), c/o Bock McMillan.

If you pass my scrutiny, I may introduce you! First come, first served!

The AMERICAblog; "How Vladimir Putin sent 'Brand Russia'  into the toilet". The post starts like this:
"Russian President Vladimir Putin has done more to harm the image of Russia internationally than anyone in a generation.
Putin’s baby, the 2014 Winter Olympics being held in Sochi, Russia in just under two weeks, was meant to demonstrate to the world that Russia had entered the modern age.
Then a funny thing happened. The world actually paid attention to Russia, and found it to be a third-world cesspool run by a despot.
If Brand Russia had already been bruised by Putin’s reign, in the past 12 months it’s been utterly destroyed."

I hope "Little Father" Putin reads it and takes notice, but that may be a vain wish.
