Veyron Goes into Business

Yes, it’s hard to belive it, but I have gone into some sort of Second Life business.  As a wise person once said, “Everyone has a plan to get rich that won’t work.”   Hmmm…  This is not quite a plan to get rich, alas more of an experiment to see what I can do.

I had been looking now and then for a sim to buy, why, I’m not sure, but I was looking, and as luck would have it, Night Morrisey was looking to sell her sim and I was in the right place to buy it.  The rest is as they would say history.  Night was selling land on the sim and while I am going to continue to keep the existing land owners on the sim, I’ve decided to try to rent out parcels of land on the unowned pieces of land.

Right now I have five houses for rent and I will probably put up a few more by next weekend on the beach.  They range in price from L$800 to L$1800 per week with a discount for more than four weeks of prepayment.  I think they look pretty good.

Lot 101 nicely set off to the side with an 800 prim allowance is L$1600 a week.

sierra-sims-202a Veyron Goes into Business

Another smaller home 202 also with a 400 prim allowance and L$800 a week.

You can find all of these rental lots in the Sierra Nevada Sim.  Just to share the love with all of my readers, I’m going to give any readers who rent a house one week free for each week rented up to two weeks free.  Just mention your a blog reader when you first rent, good as a first time renter.

I think this also merits a party this upcoming weekend, on the beach perhaps…  :)

Inflated Amusement….

It seems Vint enjoys using this picture and blog post for a lot of examples…
Tiessa Montgolfier at SL Bloggers officers' meeting: shadow post processing

I wonder why that is….  I know Tiessa enjoys it a lot…  Perhaps Vint has developed a fetish for the big boobs… :)

Ning Strikes A Blow

I run one of the City of Lost Angel’s factional websites, TheBrood.org, it is hosted on a Social Networking site, Ning.  A lot of other Blogger sites are also hosted on Ning, such as the Second Life Blogger’s group, and now Zoe’s Girls with Guns site.  Some of us use a third party company to add some cool features to Ning.  The company is WidgetLaboratory.   Seems Ning though they were impinging on their turf and turned them off last night.

Some of the widgets from WidgetLaboratory people paid for, others were free.  WidgetLaboratory looks to be now in the process of setting up to sue Ning.  Probably won’t go far though.  It’s a shame in both directions.  Ning was a nice, easy to create social network and with the WidgetLaboratory addon’s it made it even better.

I’m debating what to do now with TheBrood.org site and if I should leave it on Ning or move it.  I knew it was just too easy….

Veyron is Famous?

I think not…  well… apparently a wee bit.  I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not though…  Anyhow Wired has a new little toy here that measures your Internet Celebrity Index.  Kinda clever and of course sort of useless.  Looks like I scored 193.  What did you score?

Veyron Goes On Vacation….

Veyron On the Beach

The author is going off on a vacation in real life for about a week starting tomorrow.  So, I’ll be not on the grid nearly as much, if at all, and probably not posting.  I might Plurk a bit, but maybe not.

Veyron is not really happy about this, but it’s too bad.  I get my break…  :)  I just told her to lay out on the beach and work on her tan.  She seemed happy with that idea…

Do Blondes Have More Fun?

Charles Darwin suspected they might, and decided to investigate it.  I know Tiessa has been researching this for some time.  Gee and here I thought that red heads had all the good times….

On a mildly curious note, has anyone noticed a real difference between hair color and how often you get flirted with?

Beauty and Brains

Can’t do math…  Sure…  Just in case you are in doubt of some of the things women can do, take Hedy Lamarr as an example.  Considered one of the most beautiful women of her day in the 1940’s, she co-invented and patented spread spectrum radio broadcasting.  In case you’re wondering, that technology is used in your cell phone, the WiFi networking systems, and other forms of high tech radio communication.

Tiessa did observer though that the initial discussion about it occurred over dinner and increasing breast sizes….

Veyron’s Wiki?

The narcissistic part of me enjoys the SLWikipeida entry for Moi, but I am stuck as to what more I should put in there.  Vint is apparently up against the same problem.  Any ideas?  Suggestions, or just plain random edits to the entry?  Amuse me with some changes.

Veyron for President? Nahhh!

Who’s idea was this?  Tiessa?  You know I’m way too busy for this sort of sillyness….  But I do like grandma’s tattoo…

Bored, Tired with SL?

You’ve seen it all in Second Life.  You log in each night, doing the same old stuff, going to a club, dancing, flirting or going some where else talking about the latest - drama.  Or worse, adding to your collection of thousands of items of clothing spending your hard earned Lindens.  Most items you get will sit in your inventory never to be worn again….

What now?!

Take a mental break from SL!  How?  Become a submissive!  :)  Yes you to can just mentally check out!  Think about how much fun this could be.  Not being responsible for ANYTHING….  Let me say that again…  Not be responsible for ANYTHING.  Where to go, what to do, how to do it, what to wear, even maybe what to say.

And it comes with some side benefits.  You get to wear some kinky clothing, maybe a collar, some cuffs and get tied up now and then.  Hey, getting tied up just relieves you of the worry of where to go to tonight.

So, how do you sign up for this great job?  First you have to find someone you love and trust, or at least trust.  And they have to have willingness to take on all of the responsibility you’re going to shove off on them.  Of course, this seems like a good deal to them, and it is, except, they’re now responsible for it all… all of it.  Just like now you’re responsible for NONE of it.

That just means that you’ve always secretly wanted to wear that diaphanous hot red silk you saw that avie wear last week, but couldn’t bring yourself to wear in public.  Now you just have to make a minor motion to it, and in a few moments your Master or Mistress will notice…  Wang, bang boom…  You’re in public, in that red silk, the subject of all kinds of lustful eyes, and of course, it’s not your fault, or your responsibility….

You only have to do one things, find that Master or Mistress to take you on.  This is no small task, and it takes some due dilligence.  You can live on the dangerous side, and put yourself up for auction.  Which is kinky in itself.  Being bid on at an ever increasing price is quite exciting.  There’s a few groups in SL that do that.

And they say BDSM is abuse, oh how wrong they are…  :)
