Virtual Community Radio ie: VCRadio, Takes Stage
From: https://vcradio.org/about-us/
"Virtual Community Radio is about Virtual Communities – groups of people with common interests in virtual worlds like Second Life® – and about Community Radio – talking to people in those groups and providing entertainment and information they enjoy. In addition to being aimed at listeners in virtual worlds, it’s also for listeners on the wider Internet.
VCRadio has one primary broadcasting stream running 24/7, with an additional stream for occasional special events presenting public domain material. Day-to-day music programming consists primarily of Light Classical music, plus a little carefully-selected Classical, Baroque, Early Music, Soundtracks, Lounge/Easy Listening and Light Music. In addition, special Featured Music programming days explore a wide selection of music genres on a rotating basis."
"Virtual Community Radio (VCRadio) was founded in January 2021 by Richard Elen, also known in Second Life and elsewhere as DJ and presenter Elrik Merlin. He’s probably best-known both as a TV presenter on the popular web TV show Designing Worlds and as a regular presenter/DJ on Radio Riel for over a dozen years until he left in late 2020 to start VCRadio."

On the Grid Drive in my Freedom Monster Truck by Scholes Devin. If you are not familiar with Scholes stuff, he makes trucks mostly and all kinds. Most of the trucks have a unique control panel that pops up when the hood is opened. The engine is pretty good but the scripts are getting old and my opinion need an update for the newer grid physics. Textures and sounds are top notch. You should be happy with your purchase if you get one. He offers modding stuff for some of them. You can find a link to Pro Street Cars on the vehicles we recommend page.

Number of Posts On The Home Page?
I have set the number of posts on the home page to 12. If you think it should be more or less please comment below. Thank you.
All pages have been posted and cross linked for better searching...
Because "pages" on Blogger cannot be easily searched, all the pages have been posted as "posts", cross linked and labels applied hopefully making search easier within pages in the right hand column. You should be able to search for terms within all the pages now. Besides the search box, you can also use the tag/label cloud on the right column to search for labeled posts and pages.

Equestrian Trails
https://driversofsecondlife.blogspot.com/p/equestrian-trails.html
Hey Everyone!
The Places to Ride list was originally released in the past by Cerdwin Flanagan. This was such a great idea for both the Teegle Community and the SL Equestrian Community in general that we felt it would be great to keep it going. With that in mind there are a few things to make note of before we get into the locations and what they have to offer.
In addition to this notecard, we also recommend checking the Locations to Ride section of the Teegle Blog & Catalog which can be found here: https://www.teeglepet.com/blog/categories/riding-locations
- This list started as a personal list compiled by Cerdwin Flanagan. This was not and still isn't in association with any place, creator, or group. If you would like your place added, have a suggestion, or would like to remove or change/edit your listing please contact. Thank you!
- These places are costly to keep after and most of them have areas where you can donate to their land fees. Please consider donating to help keep them open. Donations also help show your appreciation, and anything helps. Always keep in mind to follow the rules of these locations and try to be respectful of their environment and what they have to offer. Remember: Without these locations we wouldn't have many places to ride at all!

DSL and Grid Drive History
https://driversofsecondlife.blogspot.com/2022/01/dsl-and-grid-drive-history.html
In 2014 Patty Cloquet, a Second Life Cheerleader, created a simple navigation HUD to guide aviators to parties. SLCS (The Second Life Cheerleading Squad) had a monthly events called "Destination Unknown" parties. Party goers would follow the Nav HUD pointer dot from waypoint to waypoint until they reached the hidden party. The HUD was very simple, could only handle one leg and do nothing more than point one from waypoint to waypoint.
The "Destination Unknown" parties while a huge success, didn't last long and was soon forgotten. The Nav HUD was then lightly used over the next few years to help teach new pilots routes from one airport to another, but had no beeps, bells, voices, turn signs or anything, just a dot pointing you in a direction.
In October of 2017, Christi Charron decided to start a driving group, where anyone could post group drives using their own maps or navigation HUD brands and every member was allowed to post a notice doing so.
Christi decided to create her own drive using the old Nav HUD Patty had created for aviation years earlier since nobody was posting drives as she had hoped, and posted it in the group.
Not many were notified about the drive but over 20 people showed up to the first one, surprising everyone and showing there was a clear need for organized drives SL.
Christi then began planning simple, weekly drives, leading from point A to B only. Spurred on by the excitement of her HUD being put to good use, Patty began working endless hours improving the Nav HUD, making it indicate when a turn or region corner was approaching, and adding voice to it. The additions were a huge success and the group began to grow quickly!
Soon, it was apparent more was needed to keep people's interests high and Christi had always had an idea of using the entire Grid as the setting for a game or experience, but never could figure out how. One drive on Nautilus was made where one went from point A to B, then drivers received a second HUD upon arrival they would then use, taking them on Leg 2.
When Patty saw this being done she quickly modified the Nav HUD to handle multiple Legs within one HUD, and at the same time it was decided the HUD could and should detect people doing things at drive stops, forcing them to enter stores and such, to give them a reason for driving from point A to B, then C to D. The next week, the Navigation HUD had it's first interactive drive stop, forcing drivers at the end of the drive to enter a Gas Station owned by Driver Davedorm Gaffer, wash their hands in the sink, then exit the store to complete the drive.
Once Drivers and Creators saw this in action, they then knew almost every stop needed some sort of interaction, Patty and Christi worked very hard to come up with Nav HUD changes that allowed for detection of avatar interactions in world, and to react to them.
Over the next year, Patty worked endless hours improving the Nav HUD as things that were needed weekly became evident, and it has tremendous flexibility allowing one to create complex drives in a few days time that would take weeks to script from scratch.
It is this reason that we have the ability to create basically a weekly video game mission similar to today's popular sandbox style games outside of SL.
As Patty has unfortunately left SL permanently, we miss her and wish her well.
Progress still continues on improving the Nav HUD and each week the Drivers Group tries to show it's members something new in SL they haven't seen before, and usually tries to impress them by having the HUD do something new each and every week that they didn't realize was possible.
