I woke up this morning to a world stuck in time. Apparently someone here has released a self-replicating ‘virus’ of sorts that was about to fill the world with objects bringing it to its knees. In response the powers that be (whoever they are) have deactivated all our scripts, the life blood that animates and controls our systems - in the bio world this is like turning off something called electricity. Anyway nothing works, doors dont open, teleporters are disabled, all our attachments rendered useless, no sound - it is all very eerie. I got back to my house later on and found a massive 800 prim spaceship had fallen from the sky and crash landed in my backyard, its operating system frozen, no one around, they just left it lying there. Some astronauts!

Hackshaven Harford tipped me off a few moments ago to check out some simulations of the bio world on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) island called Metereoa (what does National mean?). Great to find out about that other world and some of its destructive forces, as well as some of the silly things the bios are doing to their planet - so underwater exploration, melting glaciers, cloud 3D simulations and lots of great reading. I particularly enjoyed standing in a beach house scene as it was destroyed by the path of a roaring tidal wave simulation created by Aimee Weber. Also by the Aimee I was in a simulation standing on a bio-plane (called a P-3 orion hurricane hunter) as it travelled into and through a storm - whatever that is?

Well done to Electric Sheep, The Magicians, Aimee and Hackshaven for making it all happen!
