I am forever a geek!

So, Second Life, which is basically a massively multiplayer virtual world where anyone can build and create, has sort of caught my interest. Of course, I had to show off my geekiness in the game!
Whenever you type a message to other players, your character (known as an avatar) types in the air. This was boring, so I decided to make a keyboard for myself. Which one did I pick? The greatest keyboard ever made, of course! That would be the IBM Model M "clicky" keyboard which has the nicest touch and feel of any keyboard ever manufactured. They're also indestructible and make good blunt weapons in a pinch.
Creating the keyboard was simple. Just had to take a photo of a Model M, then use it as a texture on an object. Associate it with a "keyboard" script, and there you go!
So here's a picture of Zorin the Lynx* typing on his Model M in-game. I hope I don't get overly addicted to this. It's too much fun!
* - Yes, I realize lynxes don't have stripes. There was no lynx avatar available in the game! So I improvised and put eartufts on a tabbycat. }:) |
