Pontypridd's Unity sculpture looking resplendent following a recent repaint.
The sculpture was designed by Andy Hazell and installed in 2009. It represents three iconic parts of Pontypridd's history. First, the depiction of the old bridge, engineered in 1756 by William Edwards. Second, the railway - once Pontypridd had one of the longest railway platforms in the country and was one of the busiest as coal ("black gold") was transported down to the sea from the many collieries to the north of Pontypridd. Third, the bow of the ship represents both the coal that fuelled the naval fleet and the Brown Lenox chainworks which stood nearby, and supplied chains to Isambard Kingdom Brunel and others.
Saturday was an absolute whirlwind of activities. There were so many events and parties, that Xavier and I decided we woud try to hit them all.
We had to dress up in formal wear because of the Instyle Winter Ball Masquerade Party. Oh, what fun! Beautiful dresses and gorgeous models roamed the party as we danced to the electronica. I had a blast!
Next up was Jades Jazz Island, an invite from Montana Laurasia. Joaquin Gustav, a Spanish flamenco guitarist was playing. So beautiful! There were 71 people there for that event and lag was a bit difficult for the camera.
ColeMarie sent an invite to the World Wide Industry event on Deep Blue Devil sim. Edgy fashions and art wear were featured there. Favorites were the high top converse that went up to the calves and the incredible fire dress. WOW!
My angel Xavier got an invite from his good friend, DJ Xavier Amat who was having a party at his club GIVEmeSPACE. Pubic chat got confusing as both of them are named Xavier. LOL!
Then a dinner break. I snuck off to hear DJ Emi Halcali spin a 30 minute psy set. Oh how I needed that! A small gathering, an intimate setting at Dementia Radio, I had a very chill time listenining to her. TY Emi!
The Dealer was calling... DJ Jen Noel was over at Sphynx Jazz Club. She spins Spanish influences of jazz, flamenco, salsa and tango. Contemporary tunes are mixed in too for a beautiful, romantic set. I saw well-known psy DJ Healer in holiday clothes chilling to The Dealer's music.
Then a stopover at DeRailed for furry DJ Blabbermouth. Xavier loved this dj! Old school Electro, Goth, Psytrance and Synthpop... Xavi was in heaven. :^)
Later, I snuck off to F.I.V.e Unity Event. I caught DJ 8wall Wrigglesworth spinning there with his special brand of music. Always love 8wall's set! Earlier, Xavier and I saw trance DJ Morex Marx and Goa Master Thomtrance Otoole. That was an awesome event! Clubs Vital, Experience, Amsterdam and others were involved with that event.
At the end of the evening, we both were absolutely exhausted. What a fun Saturday night on the Second Life grid. Woot!
Unity, By Simon Donovan and Ben Olmstead, Tucson, AZ
"For the Grant Road Improvement Project Phase 2, Simon Donovan & Ben Olmstead were selected to complete artwork for the project. The sculpture they created is called Unity and is comprised of five figures, three female, two male. Each one is approximately 10 feet tall. They stand in a circle facing outward, holding hands and leaning far forward. They would tumble forward if not for the cooperation, trust, and collective effort that is required in forming an unbroken ring. Thus the title "Unity".
"The sculpture is made of hundreds of parallel, vertically aligned stainless steel plates, each held 1 inch apart. The result is a study of figures with a shifting perception of form as one moves around the sculpture. Additionally, it will be illuminated with amber colored LED lights at night."
I think this speaks for itself.
Soon to be released as Unity Core, a command line interface distribution 115MB in size using 10MB of total memory. But will it install? We've custom written an installer in bash based on Mandriva's installer so that you can boot to a cli live disk and install it. Available at a Unity Linux website near you soon.

Just sharing. Made this for a very good friend. Cupcake stamp is from Unity. Sentiment is from Hero Arts. I used a upside down punched heart shape as the flame. I later added some Stickles on the top part of the cupcake to simulate "icing."
Candle that was lit during the ceremony.

Thanks!
Unity windows take advantage of most of the special effects provided by Compiz and other window managers on Linux. This is an example of the Windows XP control panel being all wobbly while moving.
