The Primgraph
The Oiling Festival is a steampunk answer to spring cleaning, when we halt the factories to clean out the grit and grime of the previous year and perform our annual maintenance. All good citizens and visiting steamlanders are encouraged to roll up their sleeves, show their national pride, and participate! The original Oiling Festival was held in 2009 to add needed items to the city inventory and invite the greater steamlands to experience the Babbage way of life for a week. The drawbridges in Wheatstone Waterways, the city tartans, naval jack, the Sea Gate, and the palettes of bricks that appear at every build site and the crates of goods on the piers are all artifacts of previous Oiling Festivals. Festival Opens at noon, Friday, March 9th.Sometimes you get a surprise that really brightens one’s day. In-world business runs slowly while marketplace sales increase steadily. No surprise that one starts considering to close down the sim and start selling on marketplace exclusively.

Second Life: New World Notes
Augmented Reality Sandbox Displays Virtual Water Flowing Through Grooves You Make in Real Sand The Augmented Reality Sandbox is a National Science Foundation-funded project at UC Davis which uses Kinect to simulate real time water which flows through the grooves you make in the actual sandbox. It's an awesome demonstration of augmented reality for use in a simulation, and it's also just cool.
