Black against the Wall

Introducing My Nephew, Black, As a New Author

You may (or may not) have noticed the male precense around the family of The Chicken Diaries. After some convincing (no, not nagging) PacificBlack Placebo (or Black, as he prefers to be called) has agreed to become a semi-permanent author on this blog. You will now find a brief ( he is a man, afterall) [...]

Editorial | XStreetsl.com Policy Change [Updated]

I don’t normally involve myself in the Linden policy changes, but the xStreetsl.com changes on pricing and in particular freebies has greatly stirred me up. That’s not news, most of the blogosphere is up in arms (or are they armed?) about the freebies policy. My viewpoint is not from a creator’s view, but that of [...]

Chicken Talk TCD Style

sionChickens | The Meaning of SL Life?

The Alphaville Herald has done it again, featured an article on sionChickens. This time it’s based on a talk called “On Chickens” by a scholarly chap named Patrick Davison. More a perfomance piece than a conclusive study, the talk somehow comes to the conclusion that sionChickens explain the possible meaning of second Life. Technorati Tags: [...]

SL Opinion | 9 Months – 9 Days, and 9 Points

A simple fluff opinion piece. Take it or leave it. I’ve been in Second Life now for just on 9 months, a mere virgin of the metaverse if you will. At the 12 month period I doubt there will be a big rez-day celebration, it’s just not my style. So for whatever reason, the term [...]

sionLife on Facebook

sionLife | Facebook Gold?

This weekend the sionLife Official in-world group announced that sionLife was now on Facebook. Going to see, I found 28 members joined up already. And an interesting logo being used. Technorati Tags: sionLife

Step Up3

SL Causes | Step Up! Against Content Theft

Copybot, Content Theft, DMCAs and Intellectual and Property Rights. It’s all news, it’s always news. There’s nothing else in Second Life which actually unites so many differing cultures, bloggers and designers together, perhaps not even Relay for Life. Content Theft riles The Chicken Diaries family as much as anybody else. So here’s our own little [...]

SCD SL Secrets

Declaration towards SCD Secrets

The latest SL Secret listings on the Shopping Cart Disco blog contain a graphic at number two which is towards sionLabs and sionChickens, accusing the creator of sionChickens of ripping  people off. We do not endorse, nor did we create that particular graphic placed on SCD this week. Technorati Tags: sionChickens

Chicken Roleplays Vs Baby Roleplays

This is a very personal blog, but one I’ve been considering for some time. The sionChicken DRAMA still keeps reaching the airwaves, spurted along by consistent and often biased views in second life gossip blogs and newspapers, latching onto one aspect of sionChickens only. It gets now to the point where if you come out [...]

Packed for Moving

Moving Home…

Well, now she’s gone and done it. Pacific (and therefore the entire family) are moving. And I just got here! But we’re moving onto our own tropical island and there are promises of privacy, lushness, lots of tropical cocktails like Sex-On-The-Beach, native boys to stand over me fanning their palm leaves, and other things I [...]

Portrait of what matters – Family

Well, my dear niece wasn’t going to be allowed to wallow in her self-gratified loneliness while I was around was she? All that business about not being able to find a lovely man and all, and here I was, completely forgotten about for company. So, to remind my lonesome heart neice a bit about what [...]
