Pop Art Lab was founded start of 2008 in the virtual world of Second Life.

Happy 1st Birthday Phoenix Viewer Project

On 3rd of September 2011 Jessica Lyon announced the Phoenix project turned one years old. There was a big party from 12pm SLT inworld lasting for many hours yesterday afternoon with a great attendance of more than 50 avatars on the Wailele Moku region. I would like to say thanks for all the hard work during the past year and many congratulations to the crew.

Firestorm is one of the most popular successful third-party viewers at the moment and I know there is great anticipation now for a Firestorm release that includes mesh support. WOOOT!

Happy Birthday Phoenix team!

Yes..Today is our birthday!

Exactly one year ago today this blog post

http://jessicalyons.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/from-the-ashes

spread around the grid like wildfire. It was the birth of the Phoenix Viewer Project.

Today, at noon SLT we will be celebrating with a very big party. Our developers and support staff will be on hand to talk to, mingle with and ask questions. We’ll also have a live DJ and a speech or two. Unfortunately it’s only one region and if I post the location on this blog.. we’ll be overwhelmed and likely crash the sim a time or ten. So at approximately 11:45 am SLT today I will be sending a group notice out to our main Support group. If you would like to attend, be in that group 🙂 . For those who cannot attend, I will post my speech on this blog after the party and any other speeches made from other team members.

Hope to see you there!
