When Bettina Tizzy announced she was suspending her NPIRL blog a few weeks ago, there was understandable sadness, for the woman near single-handedly catalyzed a metaverse art movement from hundreds of disparate talents. As it turns out, however, she's simply upgraded her blog into a better form:
Behold Bettina's new blog: Not Possible IRL - A Digital Shoebox
As that name suggests, it's a compilation of short and punchy posts (using Posterous), mostly devoted to art created in Second Life, but also OpenSim and other medium. Frankly I think it's a more ideal use of Bettina's tastemaking talent, than the old text-heavy, post-light blog. Though it's not even a fortnight old, it's already bursting with tasty posts. Just go forth and read already, and be sure to RSS on your way out.
Hallelujah! I also like to see a non-WP blog showcasing its versatility!

But... but... It's not really a blog! As the name indicates, it's just a shoebox in which to dump pics and things I pick up along the way. Nothing fancy. It represents nothing more than what strikes my fancy at that moment.
The Not Possible IRL blog http://npirl.blogspot.com/ represented more of a group voice. It was also heavily researched. I miss it but I am happy to have moved on. Perhaps old habits die hard, and posterous is so easy to post, too.
