Tomorrow is my sixth rezday, @Juno Rowland's fifth rezday and also International Jazz Day.
A pity that there doesn't seem to be any good opportunity to celebrate either. Today's event at the Moka Efti may pretty well have been the only DJ event with a focus on jazz in all April.

#VirtualEvent - What about #cultivars? Are they good, are they bad, how do I know?
What is a “#nativar”? Where do cultivars even come from? And how do I make the right choices at the garden center?
"These are some of the top questions we get when talking about what plants to bring into our growing spaces. Join us for an engaging conversation with a panel of researchers who are teasing out the layered interactions of garden plants and the larger #EcologicalWeb. Jen Hayes, of the Oregon State University Garden Ecology Lab, studies visitation rates by #pollinators to cultivars and wild-type natives. Sam Hoadley co-directs the trial garden at Mt. Cuba Center, evaluating native plants and their cultivars for horticultural and ecological value. Daniel Park is a professor at Purdue University, studying evolutionary history and plant diversity. And our own Seed Stewardship Director, Emily Baisden, conducted research on herbivores’ use of cultivars. We are thrilled to bring these thought leaders together in one (virtual) room!
Community Education Manager Caitlin Marshall will moderate a discussion of cultivars in our landscapes, integrating questions from participants. Bring your curiosity; it should be a lively conversation!
Please register to join us. A zoom link to the webinar will be emailed to you upon registration.
Tickets: We are offering a sliding scale {$0 - $15) for tickets to this event. Adding an additional contribution helps support future educational programming. Thank you!
Zoom: This event is hosted on Zoom, and the link will be included in your confirmation email. Registrants will receive a link to the recording after the event. We look forward to seeing you there!"

What St Patrick's Day in OpenSim means:
Almost everyone is wearing green or even going beyond that. (Seriously, you have to see my brother.)
The DJ is playing only music from Ireland.
If you're lucky, every other solo dancer dances an Irish jig. Even on high-heeled shoes which I do not recommend. That's why I always wear flat shoes on St Patrick's Day.
Some may be drunk enough to be able to pronounce "Áine Caoimhe".
And: Shamrocks. Shamrocks everywhere. Including four-leaf shamrocks. People even yay shamrocks.

Live #Webinar Lecture: #RevolutionaryDreams: A #BlackPower #Bicentennial
Thursday, February 12, 2026, 6pm-7:30pm
"Lecture Description:
In this live virtual talk (via Zoom webinar), Dr. Amber N. Wiley discusses both her scholarly and pedagogical approaches to analyzing American history through the lens of the #AfroAmerican Bicentennial Corporation (ABC). Inspired by the ABC’s work to identify and protect cultural landscapes related to #BlackAmerican achievements ahead of the 1976 commemoration of the #AmericanRevolution, Wiley has taken up their charge to 'continue the revolution' through the 'process of #decolonization, a movement toward self-realization and self-government by people determined not to be kept in a subject status.' The lecture will highlight Wiley’s public history, preservation, and teaching work in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC related to revolutionary histories in each locale.Author Bio:
Amber N. Wiley, PhD, is the Wick Cary Director of the Institute for Quality Communities at The University of Oklahoma. Wiley has over 20 years of experience in historic preservation, architecture, and community engagement. Through her teaching, research, and professional practice, she advances the history and narrative of design and preservation in Black communities. Her first book, Model Schools in the Model City, is a finalist for the 2026 Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) Book Prize. Her second book, Collective Yearning, is set for publication in May 2026. Amber received her PhD in American Studies from George Washington University. She also holds an MA in Architectural History and a Certificate in Historic Preservation from the University of Virginia School of Architecture and a BA in Architecture from Yale University."FMI and to register:

English-speaking New Year's parties in virtual worlds are weird for one reason: Not everyone is in the same timezone, so you're likely to have multiple New Year countdowns. Much unlike German-speaking New Year's parties where it's safe to assume that everyone's timezone is CET.

It isn't that easy anymore to impress me in OpenSim. I've seen just about everything by now.
But then, yesterday, there was (CW for the link: eye contact) Shandon Loring, looking just like Arlo Guthrie while reciting Alice's Restaurant Massacree. Inside a church modelled after Alice's and Ray's church with their little room in the belfry.

CW: First impressions from OpenSimFest 2025 CW: long (over 3,200 characters)
So OpenSimFest 2025 has started. But there hasn't been any announcement whatsoever, at least not recently. Even the official OpenSimFest website is dead as OpenSimFest is ongoing. OpenSimFest will span 16 days, but you only learn that in-world, too.
The grid is down to one normal expo sim; the other "expo" sim is the home of the fenced-in zombie zone now. It's a far cry from 2022 and 2023 with their many expo sims, also because several very prolific exhibitors haven't been at OpenSimFest since 2023.
Also, the grid seems to have become painfully slow. It isn't laggy, there's no rubber-banding. But things rez rather slowly. Anything below the lowest mesh LOD only shows when I'm close and even then sometimes only after one or two minutes. Some objects take that long to appear in the first place. I've got my doubts that the recent Firestorm beta is to blame.
At least there are more exhibits on that one expo sim. Last year, OpenSim World's Fair in the Wolf Territories hogged so many resources that about half of the few remaining expo parcels at OSFest remained vacant and had to be used as impromptu Arcadia Asylum showcases upon short notice so that there was at least something on the land. Now we have things like a tiny Venice exhibit built by Cooper Swizzle, complete with a keyframed gondola ride.
Speaking of Kitely, Kimm Starr has brought back the fairground freak show that had to be removed when Coopersville was shrunk prior to being passed to its new owner. (By the way, Coopersville is not named after Cooper Swizzle. That's coincidence.)
Surprisingly little is still a work in progress on the first day. Then again, the sole expo sim is entirely in use.
After last year's break, Remmy Ravenhurst is back with her products, including an assortment of freebies. She even brought something new, namely free boxes with textures from which PBR materials can be made and free boxes with untextured mesh models. Since they are full-perm, it's possible to export the roughness texture and convert it into a specular texture for Blinn-Phong.
In general, the usage of the two Stores sims has improved, and that isn't only because the northern one of the two Stores sims is down to only two big stores. Still, as usual, there isn't a single freebie store; all stores offer payware either mostly or only.
What still makes me wonder are the clothes that are being sold, often for prices that appear to be converted from Linden dollars to Gloebits 1:1, regardless of the Gloebit being more expensive than the Linden dollar.
There are boxes with classic layer and prim clothes that must be well over a decade old, and yet, in real-life currency, they cost more than a comparable fitted mesh outfit with PBR materials and Blinn-Phong fallback textures costs in Second Life. Then there are boxes with mesh clothes that are rigged for mesh bodies of which not a single one is officially being sold in OpenSim. So in order to be able to wear these legally bought clothes, you need a pirated mesh body.
Interestingly, the grid was not reset since last year. I'm still a member of the OSFest Participant group.

CW: The ZDF-Hitparade has been rebuilt in OpenSim, and the inauguration event has just started. For better or worse. CW: long (over 600 characters), Deutscher Schlager mentioned
Today's three-hour DJ event in Dereos takes place on a brand-new sim that's inspired by the ZDF-Hitparade. I mean, they already have a sim inspired by the Beat-Club.
However: The music of the first half matches the location. In other words, Schlager. Probably mostly from the 1970s. The first DJ has opened with four Chris Roberts songs.
What really gives me to think is that even @Akira Sonoda has announced "Schlager" for the second half. Whatever that means in her case.

CW: Lots of simultaneous in-world events today; CW: long (over 700 characters)
Today is one of those days on which simply too much happens in the Hypergrid at the same time.
There's the World Zero Discrimination Day event in ZetaWorlds which starts in a bit over an hour and a half.
There's the grand opening of OpenSim World's Fair in the Wolf Territories.
There's an unlisted St. David's Day Dance on the Welsh sim Redoutable in Speculoos Grid.
Not to mention a whole lot of more or less regular events.
Maybe we'll do some event hopping today.

CW: Live from the on-going World Peace Day event at ZetaWorlds; CW: long (over 800 characters), potential sex toy mentioned
Wild party for World Peace Day at ZetaWorlds right now. Next to a lot of music about peace anyway.
When @Rogue Galaxy sang, @Juno Rowland and I joined an impromptu backing band. It was a good idea to bring instruments.
Ruud managed to multi-task: DJ, dance and slap ladies' butts.
Of course, such a party could impossibly happen without the Starks, even though it isn't taking place at Stark. For some reason, Niki sent people good vibrations on several occasions by throwing around free Hitachi Magic Wands. Don't ask.
And yes, it's nice to be back at ZetaWorlds without having to resort to our spare OSgrid avatars.
One and a half more hours to go.
