Recently I published a post about the morons of the net, the spammer… you can read that one here if you missed it before.

Now, do they actually take the time to read the posts?? I mean, I did say in that post that the first spammer to spam that one would get their own personal award… they seem to be avoiding it and hitting other posts.

Being the nice person that I am… I am gonna hand out awards tonight anyway. Especially to the spammer of this post comment “Nice to view this excellent blog also like carolina hurricanes jersey”… the comment was put on my ladies of music posts… totally off topic don’t you think? While I like hockey too, I think I am intelligent enough to see that it was a spam post…. I am not as dumb as some of you all are, and I REALLY don’t like Carolina… TYVM…

So here’s to you Mr or Ms Carolina Hurricanes Jersey Lover! (Yes, Carolina should be with a C not a c… and Hurricanes would have been mo bettah… *SMIRK*) And to the other 40 spammers who have hit this blog in a total of 12 hours… (is that a good or bad count? Do they like me or what?? MAHAHAHAHAA)

I can’t believe its been about a month since Andy or I have posted anything! For two people who usually have a lot to say about a lot of things it’s very shocking.

I decided I would sit and write a post but, nothing popped into my head while I sat and looked at a blank post page.

I began to think about things I have read about Niches and Flagship content and realized we no longer have one in reality. (BTW.. there is a killer e book out by Chris Garret for free, swing by and pick it up. His is a blog I personally enjoy reading.)

As many know, we have been around for a long time, with a website that had tutorials and free content for use with 3d applications like Poser, and 2d applications like Photoshop.

Due to deployments and all that happy stuff that happens in life when the US Military owns you, that content was all put on a forum to make content sharing easier on the people who wanted to help donate resources, they didn’t have to wait on me to get their email requests, upload and put on a page.

With all the tutorials on the web now a days, it’s hard for us to do one that hasn’t been beaten to death. If you do a search for “how to make a brush tip in Photoshop CS2″ you come up with page upon page of how to do this. We still do tutorials that have been requested. I think that helps us not become just another repeat tutorial place on the internet highway.

Coming up with brand new never seen before techniques is not really as easy as I thought it would be. I guess that takes that “niche” out of the loop.

Yes, I do the rant of the injustices in the world and the chronically moronic people that inhabit our planet, but do I really want to make that my niche?

We have a lot of things on here now about Second Life. That could be our niche… maybe…. Andy and I decided that we do not want to be just another Second Life blog out there. Sure we will keep interested people in the loop of whats going on in Second Life, and what they might find interesting.

My blurb tonight about Second Life could be the art going on across the grid. We ourselves have been exhibiting many fantastic artists in our museum monthly. We have two incredible artists exhibiting this month, one who is doing a Meet the Artist party this Saturday; Van Caerndow. I am excited for the art going on
on Second Life, it’s been a fantastic journey. Everything you see on SL is a work of art.. the models, the builds, the textures… THE MUSIC!!

There is so much musically going on in Second Life. If you have ever clicked over and looked at our Nevermore website, you will see the artists we have that play our venue. Music that may never be heard around the world if it wasn’t for Second Life. Myspace doesn’t reach as many musically for unsigned artists as Second Life is proving to.

Ballet is even IN Second Life! The Pixel Ballet puts on original ballets monthly that includes their own textures, built sets, musical scores and animated choreography.

There is so much art in Second Life, it’s hard to decide what to do at any given time.

Non Profit and support groups abound in Second Life. The Wounded Warrior Project has joined with the US Military Veterans’ Center in Second Life to hold monthly fund raisers for the Project. Nevermore kicked off the first one, holding a Pirate ship party.

Relay for Life is well underway and the teams are kicking some serious butt on the drive to Relay For A Cure. If you remember on a past post, I pointed out that RFL in Second Life was the third biggest relay in the world, raising over a quarter of a million USD.

From the way this post has gone, maybe Second Life is our niche, or at least mine… maybe…
