How being a SL newbie has helped me...

Up until now I've never really gotten too into Second Life. However, starting to do more in it has given me valuable insight into what it's like to be a "newbie." When doing projects, I've found myself automatically assuming my audience knows what I'm talking about and is as adept at the game/media as I am. Being new to SL has really made me realize that I need to ensure that my audience can follow along and that the right information is getting across.

I found a very interesting site that covers all types of virtual environments and MMOs. I highly recommend you visit:

One recent article particularly struck my interest because learning SL hasn't been exactly an easy walk in the park. The title of the article is aptly named "Ten great tips for new Second Life users". I found it helpful, so definitely give it a look!

I can not upload it, because my computer will not let me use bandcamp, I usually upload on Mary's computer. So I will share it will you all tomorrow! I did listen to the Chemical brothers, star guitar and timber. I found them all equally interesting. The effects of each video are very cool. Some of it reminded me of the movie INCEPTION. I love how you can make a beat or rhythm and then just keep adding sounds and effects to make it more complex. The end!

One aspect of my project involves an art hosting website that has a blog for four different types of art: Photography, Microsoft Paint art (Like Ernesto's), Graffiti, and Photoshop Images. The links to each blog are the following: MS Paint Blog Photography Blog Graffiti Blog Photoshop Blog Our intent is to have each of those blogs tell a story through images that people post, letting everyone interact by continuing the story set by other people. For the MS Paint and Photography blogs, we would like you to post any interesting photography or MS Paint images you have created (or if you find something online you can post it as well), then write a short, one-line, peotic sentence about what this image conveys. For the Graffiti blog we would like to have people post images of interesting graffiti they have seen at any point in their lives, or ...
