Jack Slade and The Underground

OMG. If you are a Gordon Lightfoot/Harry Chapin fan then this IS the man for you. I just found him in the Under Ground.

The UnderGround on Sunday night 35 + people
Jack Slade with a voice that is so smooth!

This was such a delight to find the talent that is still in SL. Jack doesn’t sing with backing tracks. He sings with a smooth even tone. From Bob Seger, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, to Leonard Cohen. HAHA! I just found out his nickname is Jack Buttahh Slade. That is how smooth his voice is.

If you want a very mellow, easy to just close your eyes and lose yourself in then this man can do it. His playlist is hugeeeeeeeeee, He not only sings covers but has many originals as well. He takes requests and he delivers.

We were going there for 15 minutes and an hour later we are still dancing and listening. Then I knew I had to do this mini-blog. Look him up or contact his manager/wife ‘Miss Lou Slade’.

I shall be involved in an event in the future and plan to invite him to sing! Stay tuned for more information on that!!

Kite Co

Recently I met and started to work for Sim and Zaya Chrispson, as a marketing agent. Their umbrella company is Kite Co. Kite Co incorporates a few other businesses as do most umbrella companies.

In this case, the cart came before the horse. Sim started off with 6 Kinds of Wednesday, 6KW is the mainstay of Kite Co. With no inworld store, 6KW is strictly Market Place accessible. Sim started his KiteCo Corporation with this inexpensive but extremely well made full perm textures. If you are a builder and have never taken a look at what 6KW has to offer, you really need to take a look. Please review what you think of them.

Kitemart [K*M] – A Market Place department superstore that houses several product lines and brands owned and/or distributed by Kite Co. and its various divisions. They Include Lily’s Farm-aceuticals, [VBV] Venderful Beverage Vendors, !AF! Angry Ferret, and Slushy. Again no inworld store and is strictly available on the market place

The other companies are as follows.

** Mayday Aviation Lounge ^MAL^ This lounge/bar and its decor are centered around Airplane crashes!

There is an upper deck and a lower deck. This DJ session takes place on the upper deck. The RUNWAY PLANE CRASHES are every 10 minutes. A very unique event to experience.

Mayday proudly carries unique aviation-themed beer, wine, and cigars made by [VBV] Venderful Beverage Vendors. Belly up to the bar and watch, listen, dance, and just relax and have a great time. Drop a notecard and let us know what you think of Mayday.

Mayday Aviation Lounge ^MAL^ is a division of Kite Co.

Next we have The Shhh! Silent Movie Theatre. A simply wonderful step back in time. Open 24 hours for your viewing pleasure. A free Inworld silent movie theater experience that pays homage to amazing movies and performers from the silent movie era, including Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton. A fun trip into the fantasy of yesterday! Completely done in black and white. This brings back silent movies and is a wonderful place for a date night.

Then we have Kaleidoscope Eyes Breakfast Cafe. A Beatles themed cafe where you can listen to Beatles music, Experience that “hippie” side of yourself. It is quite amazing! Do you remember the old kaleidoscopes? Visiting this charming venue is like stepping back into the 60s. A free cafe featuring a breakfast buffet. It exclusively hosts Lily’s Farm-aceuticals brand Herbal Teas. It’s decor is based around the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ by The Beatles.

Ok, well I have saved my personal favorite until last! RESET Retro Arcade. If you remember Mario Brothers, PacMan, Arcade games. OMG and not only are these cutouts life-size they are so realistic!!! I was, to be honest, STUNNED when I first saw them. All textures were made by Sim Chrispson. A free Inworld Arcade featuring playable 1980’s/1990’s game cabinets and decor.

  • Kite Co. is a proud corporate sponsor of 􀀆 Salem School Landschulheim
    Sim Chrispson teaches Marketing at 1 SLT on Mondays. Join the fun!

Unicorn Technologies

The European parliament today voted to approve new copyright rules for the internet, the headline points are :

  • Internet platforms are liable for content that users upload
  • Some uploaded material, such as memes or GIFs, now specifically excluded from directive
  • Hyperlinks to news articles, accompanied by “individual words or very short extracts”, can be shared freely
  • Journalists must get a share of any copyright-related revenue obtained by their news publisher
  • Start-up platforms subject to lighter obligations

The headline points don’t sound too bad on the surface but the reality is that the technology to ensure compliance with this directive simply doesn’t exist. Technology isn’t going to be able to differentiate between parody and copyright, this is Unicorn technology territory and it’s extremely disappointing that so many MEPs have completely ignored this.

Flickr Flounders

Flickr recently announced some changes to their free account offering, in a blog post Why we’re changing Flickr free accounts Flickr announced “Beginning January 8, 2019, Free accounts will be limited to 1,000 photos and videos. If you need unlimited storage, you’ll need to upgrade to Flickr Pro.”

If you have a free account on Flickr and have more than 1,000 images, Flickr will start deleting them for you in February until you are down to the new limit.

The Flickr blog post also states something that is a tad misleading “It’s also more closely aligned to Flickr’s past (before 2013, Free members were limited to 200 photos), and we liked the idea of returning to our roots but with free space for five times as many photos as before”.

This isn’t strictly accurate, whereas only 200 images would appear in your photostream, you were not restricted to 200 images, the images were not deleted, they could stlll exist in groups or remain embedded on blogs and forums and if you upgraded to pro you would be able to freely access them again. This actually acted as an incentive to go pro, the curtain would be withdrawn from your Flickr photos and everything would be there.

An unfortunate set of circumstances have led to this situation, the main one being Yahoo’s ridiculous 1TB of free storage offer back in 2013. That really devalued Flickr pro, but it also encouraged people to freely upload.
