Obama web event to be streamed in SL next week!

Posted on March 24, 2007 by

This is a picture of where the Obama in-world event will NOT take place. SLNN reports that presidential contender Barack Obama will be appearing in-world in avatar form as part of a webcast on March 31 at 1PM PDT.  Interestingly, the in-world event will take place, not in the grassroots "Obama ’08" build (teleport SLURL)…

My mooooooo cards are here!

Posted on March 24, 2007 by

Hurray, my Moo business cards arrived in the mail today!  Man, that was fast, considering they were produced in the UK.  I needed business cards both for my work with Yehoodi.com and my Second Life activities, so I figured I’d combine the two.  Silly emote facial expressions provided by the great Mr. Yadni. My friend…

More Meta-coolness: Watching my avatar watching Tom Servo watching a movie

Posted on March 23, 2007 by

Had a really fun time tonight at the MST3K group showing of the brilliantly cheesy "Gamera Takes on Guiron". Lots of silly remarks during the viewing, which really enhances the experience.  I love watching movies in SL.

Viacom takes down SL fan video of Stephen Colbert

Posted on March 23, 2007 by

<rant> This just steams my beans.  Stephen Colbert nearly pleads for this kind of fan adoration, and when some enterprising SL machinimators create a video in homage to him, his parent company Viacom issues a DMCA takedown on their ass. Next up: NBC goes after children creating shadow puppets that resemble characters from "Lost." </rant>…

New additions at virtual Capitol Hill; a quick peek at Presidential hopefuls HQs in Second Life

Posted on March 22, 2007 by

Tonight I dropped in on virtual Capitol Hill (teleport SLURL) to check out the new interactive tools the owners have put in place.  As much as I admire what the Clear Ink guys have done creating the faux government sim, I have been discouraged by the lack of interest in the sim, mostly due to…

Cheapskate MacArthur Foundation offers 50 bucks for digital learning project

Posted on March 22, 2007 by

I got an email invite to a "future of learning" event on April 21 sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation.  I had to chuckle about the byline at the bottom of the email that said that MacArthur had launched a "$50 digital media and learning initiative." Wow, $50! I think I can get a mansion and…

Feeling edgy and blue: time to armor up

Posted on March 22, 2007 by

I’ve been feeling on edge and sad lately.  I’ve been coping by rocking out to old Live albums "Throwing Copper" and "Mental Jewelry."  I’m not really a rock music person, but when you are feeling shitty screamed vocals, dissonant electric guitars, and pounding drums have a nice cathartic effect. Oh, and I’ve been shopping… or…

Anne Lamott on dancing and eventual grace

Posted on March 21, 2007April 5, 2019 by

Anne Lamott is one of my favorite writers, and one of my top five sort-of-famous people I would like to have dinner with.  By chance I came across an email about Anne doing a book signing at the local Barnes and Nobles last night and I just had to stop by. Her new book is…

Animal welfare group’s virtual HQ griefed: show some love, people!

Posted on March 20, 2007 by

Click To Play (I’m hesitant to post this, cause it just gives publicity to some anonymous griefer. But it’s for a good cause.) So tonight I was zipping by Progressive Island in Second Life, visiting the new space created for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, when I was immediately assaulted by obnoxious music and…
