In Germany, they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
They came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.

how to find a poem
hush, my child don't you weep
the dream is as long as the sleep is deep
remember, remember
the light of the moon
comes from the sun that will be around soon
hush, my child, don't you cry
the valley's as deep as the mountain is high

What I told my kids about Christmas
Christmas is approaching, a time of year that I dread. It's not the religious significance that I don't like--it is, after all, the Celebration of the Nativity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It's the commercialism.
Yes, I know that sounds trite. But it's true.
Christmas has become chri$$ma$. All those dollar signs. All those purchases. Stimulate the economy. Buy something for them. Or just Buy.
So this year I decided to do something different. Their mother was taking them to the toy store this afternoon to look for a gift for their two-and-a-half year old little brother. They weren't particularly pleased. Their little brother routinely messed up their rooms, took their toys, stood in front of the television when they were watching it, made noise when they were trying to listen to something, cried a lot and got most of the attention from Mom and Dad. No, they weren't pleased at the prospect of spending an afternoon in a toy store where they couldn't get anything for themselves but had to find something for him instead.
So I told them something from the heart: the best part of Christmas is not in the getting of gifts, but in the giving.
They rolled their eyes.
"I know that, Dad," said my daughter.
"I know you do," I replied. "And do you know the name of that feeling you get when someone gives you exactly what you were needing, you were wanting, you were looking for, hoped for and missed not having so so much that you'd do anything you could to get it?"
"Like the Littlest Pet Show Zoo?" my daughter asked.
"Yep. Or the coolest Spiderman wrist rocket that shoots real webs," I told my son.
He nodded, eyes serious.
"Now, what's the name of that feeling you get inside?"
She thought for a moment, then responded. "Happy?"
I smiled. "That's right. Now, what Christmas tells us is that there is something that feels even better than that. That feeling comes when you give someone that feeling."
"Happy happy?" laughed my son. "Have a happy happy christmas!"
I shook my head. "No, we say have a MERRY Christmas. Only most people have forgotten what merry means. But now you two know."
With that I closed the door on the minivan and waved at them all as my wife backed the vehicle out of the driveway.
May you have a very, Merry Christmas.

The recent client update is causing some technical glitches which are preventing me from logging in SL. I am trying to figure out what it is, but due to the coming holidays and current economic malaise we are weathering, I'm otherwise a bit preoccupied. I am trying to spend what little free time I have playing guitar and reworking some of my SL songs. I'm also in the process of going through hours and hours of past shows and cull out particularly good versions of my non-SL songs and occasional cover.
As I find them I'll be converting them to mp3s and uploading them for your listening pleasure. I'm also posting the lyrics on the off-chance that anyone actually wants to read them.
Email me (nikodonburi @ yahoo.com) if you want to reach me.

Missed the Show?
Live TV by Ustream
Vlad at www.shiny-life.com recorded this, which was simulcast from Second Life out onto the web. There is a minute or so of no audio as he is getting his settings tweaked, so be a bit patient. Pretty amazing technology, if you think about it. I'm in RL playing and the music is being streamed into SL where it is heard by other people all over the world as part of the shared concert experience with the whole thing then streamed out of SL and onto the web for those not in SL to watch, live. Whew.
List of Sims where show can be heard
Xerses has provided me with the list of parcels where the show will be streamed. Here is a list of the sims, coordinates and plot size: 16 = plot size; sim name and coordinates. No time to make slurls, sorry!

Interview with Yngwie Krogstad: SL DJ
[20:21] Niko Donburi: Why did you chose Krogstad as your last name in SL?[20:21] Yngwie Krogstad: Well, do you know who Yngwie Malmsteen is by chance?
[20:22] Niko Donburi: The guitarist
[20:22] Yngwie Krogstad: Yes.
[20:22] Yngwie Krogstad: When I signed up I had no clue what I wanted to call myself, but I was listening to Yngwie at the time, so I decided I'd name myself after Yngwie. Since Malmsteen was not an option, I found the best last name that sounded like it'd be from the country he came from.
[20:22] Niko Donburi: cool
[20:23] Niko Donburi: mind if I quote you on my blog?
[20:23] Yngwie Krogstad: Go for it
[20:26] Yngwie Krogstad: Killer. Don't forget to mention that I'm a DJ, and maybe that I won the Keep The Rock A Rollin' Award, presented for promoting the indie artists of garageband.com, I'm only the third person in all of SL ever to win it, and you can of course mention I play Niko Donburi too.
[20:27] Niko Donburi: Done

Interview with Robin Dale: Non-Social Socialite
"Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans: it's lovely to be silly at the right moment."
---Horace, 65 - 8 B.C.
[2008/11/04 18:57] Niko Donburi: Robin, I am doing a study of the geneology of last names. I was wondering if you knew the history of your family name, Dale?
[Nov 07 19:56:12 2008] Robin Dale: Hi, Niko. I don't know anything specific about the history of the name Dale. The word's Old English, with roots all over Scandinavia, I guess always meaning "valley." At a guess, it might have started in old England with someone identified as "Joe from the Dales." That'd be analogous to names like Hillman. The Robin Hood legends have the minstrel, Alan-a-Dale, which I suppose might be a form of "Alan of Dale." I've sometimes thought that I might have had an ancestor named Rob o'the Dales.
[18:36] Niko Donburi: Thanks, Robin, for the info. Is it OK if I quote you on my blog? I'm doing a survey of residents inquiring about their last name.
[18:40] Robin Dale: Sure. Hope other folks have better info, though. Hey, hope Sunday night goes well... I expect to be there somewhere!
Press Release for Sunday's Show
This Sunday, 11/9, at 6 o'clock pm (PST) virtual history will be made.
Niko Donburi, better known as the "Weird Al" of Second Life, will be holding what is being called the largest live music event ever held in Linden Research, Inc.'s virtual world.Niko's debut of his second collection of satirical songs about Second Life will be streamed to parcels of land located on more than 400 individual sims, or Second Life regions. The parcels are part of the virtual "Arbor Project," a movement to thwart the increasing commercialization of Second Life by planting virtual trees on small parcels of land throughout the main grid.
Niko is considered by many to be one of the top live music performers in Second Life. He was selected to be one of the featured live music performers for last years' Second Life Community Convention held in Chicago, Illinois, and his songs about Second Life are frequently heard in the clubs and venues of that virtual world.
More info can be obtained at: www.nikodonburi.com and you can listen to the concert via http://silver.neostreams.info:11294/ on Sunday, 11/9/08 starting at 6 pm PST

Arbor Project: Beautifying Second Life 16m2 at a time
The Arbor Project plants trees on small lots in Second Life that otherwise would contain ads. Lots are available for 30L per meter to anyone who will join it to an adjacent property of at least 300m2. Contact Xerses Goff for more info.
[19:50] Niko Donburi: hey, do you still have the Sl Arbor Project going?
[19:53] Xerses Goff: yes, we are still giving away land
[19:55] Niko Donburi: giving away?
[19:55] Xerses Goff: yep, we are trying to get about 600 small plots recombined
[19:56] Niko Donburi: ah; can you set the music on each of those parcels to a single stream?
[19:56] Xerses Goff: yes,. we used to have them set to the station.
[19:56] Xerses Goff: they are open now.
[19:57] Xerses Goff: we have a bot that does it.
[19:58] Niko Donburi: I was wondering if I could get you to turn the parcels' streams to my show this coming Sunday, 6 pm SL
[19:58] Niko Donburi: in exchange for some announcements about your project
[19:58] Niko Donburi: we are going to pack the sim, I think, or at least try (as you've seen from the notecard)
[19:58] Xerses Goff: sure, I will be happy to do it anyway, just send me a notecard with the url
[19:58] Xerses Goff: yep
[19:59] Xerses Goff: don't need any mentions though you can let everyone know that they can listen from those plots.
[20:01] Xerses Goff: with the bot, it takes about 1/2 an hour to reset them all.
[20:01] Niko Donburi: ok
[20:01] Xerses Goff: I will do it tomorrow night or Staurday.
[20:01] Xerses Goff: just get me the url
[20:02] Niko Donburi: http://silver.neostreams.info:11294/
[20:03] Xerses Goff: got it, will let you know when it is done
[20:03] Niko Donburi: the show is Sunday, 6 pm SL
[20:03] Xerses Goff: you can say it is being beamed across 400+ sims :-)
[20:04] Niko Donburi: yep, as part of the Arbor Project
[20:05] Xerses Goff: great
That's right, the show on Sunday is going to be heard in more than 400 separate sims in Second Life. As far as I can determine, it will be the largest concert ever held in SL.

Oops!
Well, due in no large part to confusion created by myself, Sunday's show didn't quite go out as planned. I was surprised, however, at the number of people who did turn up just for the show. Turns out it was just a dry run for this coming Sunday. Yes, we are going to try it again. 6 pm SL in Barcelona sim, on the beach.
Last Sunday I had planned to tell everyone all of the following but in the confusion of finding a new location, getting a stream (thanks Rocky!) and TPing everyone, sending out a notice to the group, AND playing and singing, I just plain forgot. So, here it is in print so as least I know that they are somewhere....
While are you are at the show, you are more than encouraged to take snapshots, video capture, audio capture, tweet, blog or do anything else creative to capture the mood. I will be mixing and compiling all such items provided to me in a machinima. So as to allow the greatest flexibility when it comes to the editing, I would ask that everyone read through the following ten items:
(1) set your environment settings to "dusk" or evening setting. I've asked Liam and Chrissy to put out torches, fires, etc so that we can have a cool location. It will be on the beach in Barcelona so a much more relaxed and "outdoor" setting than the Cafe.
(2) if you take snapshots or video capture, please don't get your UI unless it is absolutely necessary (that's you, Phoenixa!).
(3) the simplest way to get me the photos is to "send as postcard" to my email (nikodonburi @ yahoo.com). You can also post them to your Flickr page, which I encourage, or download them to your computer (particularly if you want to photoshop them) and email or ftp them to me later. Please DON'T save them in your inventory as it will cost you L10 per photo. If you DO have any in your inventory you want to send me, that's fine, too. The free way is better, though!
(4) machinima will be mixed for posting to Youtube so record it in at least 15fps, preferably 30.
(5) I would ask those of you who are audio recording to be sure and record the ambient sounds, background sounds, etc. I am recording the actual music track so there is no need for you to do so (unless you want to, of course!). What doesn't get captured on my end are the sounds (clapping, ambient) that you all hear. Only the music. If you could, please get a couple of minutes of just ambient sounds without music for mixing.
(6) Those of you making machinima of your own who are looking for a great location for an event to happen, this is your night. Feel free to film your own event at my show. You are welcome to use the music, with attribution.
(7) By clicking on the TP button, slurl or LM that takes you to the show, you are expressly agreeing that your AV can be used in any works by any of the attendees for any purpose. That gives every attending resident the ability to use the resultant footage as they wish.
(8) Please bring a guest, dance balls, pose balls and whatever else.
(9) Feel free to grief, just don't be an asshole about it. Particle effects are particularly welcome.
(10) Any and all publicity is encouraged. That means blogs, tweets, email, notices, IMs or whatever else you can think of.

SL Man
written and performed by
It's nine o'clock on a Sunday eve
the regular crowd's logging in
there's a nooby standing next to me
with a box fully rezzed on his chin
He says, "Hey, can you spare a few Lindens?
I'd like to buy some prim hair."
I felt so sorry for him I bought him some skin
'cause all of us once had been there
La, la, la, de de da
la la, de de da da da
Sing us a song you're the SL man
Sing us a song tonite
We're all in the mood for a melody
just make it about Second Life
Now Elwood, he's a friend of mine
we met at SLCC
He's logged in every night but he say's it's alright
'cause it's better than watching TV
He knows Second Life can be an addiction
one that's not easy to face
since you don't leave your house
and a click of your mouse
logs you right back into this place.
La, la, la, de de da
la la, de de da da da
Sing us a song you're the SL man
Sing us a song tonite
We're all in the mood for a melody
just make it about Second Life
Rocky was a single father
when he first found Second Life
and then one day he met Elseamae
and soon she'll become his wife
'Cause now they are living together
they no longer are alone
they once shared a world that is virtual
and now they are sharing a home
La, la, la, de de da
la la, de de da da da
Sing us a song you're the SL man
Sing us a song tonite
We're all in the mood for a melody
just make it about Second Life
It's a pretty good crowd for a Sunday eve
Liam and Chrissy IM me a smile
'cause they know that it's me you're all coming to see
to forget your real life for awhile
So I'll play you my songs about Second Life
while the lag makes us all move so slow
and I just want to say thanks for coming today.
That's something I thought you should now.

Wasting Away in Second Life
written and performed by Niko Donburi
I'm logged on every weeknite
if I'm not it don't feel right
this virtual world is all that I need
Strumming my six string
earning Lindens while I sing
an original song or a parody
Wasting away the day in Second Life
searching through my vast inventory
some people claim that it is just a game
But it's not to you and me....
I don't know the reason
I find SL so pleasing
given the problems I have logging in
always dealing with updates
that give me nothing but headaches
I'm just glad that I don't own a sim
Wasting away the day in Second Life
searching through my vast inventory
some people claim that it is just a game
But it's not to you and me....
A surge blew up my desktop
so I've borrowed a laptop
I can barely log in
with this old Mac Book Pro.
But I'm not complaining
'cause it's entertaining
to see you all grey
and moving so slow
Wasting away the day in Second Life
searching through my vast inventory
some people claim that it is just a game
But it's not, to you and me....
Yes, some people claim that it is just a game
but it's not to you and me.
* * * *
Contrary to popular belief, I am not a Buffett fan in real life. That made parodying this song even more difficult as I had to listen to it a couple of dozen times to get the feel. Perhaps one of you Parrotheads out there can let me know how I did...
