who's looking at me?

Interesting short info about personal space and gaze in Second Life here . Today I nipped inworld, and was entertained for a few minutes trying to decide which of the other two people within map distance was the one responsible for the green cross ha
blogging at 95
Saturday, 30 May 2009 9:34 P GMT+01
I found out about this - the granny who was perhaps the oldest blogger - after the event, from all the news coverage over Maria Amelia's death, and am a little sorry that I never read about it before. This last post by the family has now been tr
Art Box and the art of taking pictures
Saturday, 30 May 2009 9:16 P GMT+01
(or, I should blog more about my second life part two!)Second, a particularly groovy art place, 'Art Box' (slurl) which lets you take part in famous paintings. Thanks @graymills for sending me in their direction, where I screamed along with M
Re-post from work :-)

At the end of April, over 120 people came together from the region and further afield to an event hosted by the Regional Support Centre at the University of Sunderland on Second Life and education "Learning in Virtual Worlds". (Follow this
I really probably should blog in SL separately...
Saturday, 30 May 2009 8:58 P GMT+01
First, an update to my earlier post on the SLanguages.net conference. That's two presentations I've given in the last 2 months being videoed (the first I'll post in its totality in a moment), but rather differently. The presentation I ga

These are as good as the ones painted on the road - a set of trompe l'oeil on buildings . Amazing. Have no idea how they do it, but they look fantastic.
no pain, no gain?

We often say that, usually when we are grimacing en route to the gym or some such. I've just found an alternative which has touched me. I'm at home grabbing a few minutes peace and quiet before going out again, reading a little bit more of Wi
picturing forgiveness
Tuesday, 19 May 2009 11:39 P GMT+01
I'm doing a course on forgiveness (no sarky comments, thanks) and tonight the last portion of the session was a series of images of the story of the Prodigal Son from Luke's gospel. There were 26, so it was impossible to discuss a whole class
to podcast or not to podcast
Thursday, 14 May 2009 10:48 P GMT+01
Had a very interesting discussion this afternoon about podcasting sermons. It's not uncommon any more, but it isn't done in Durham. I would have thought that people would be concerned about the technicalities of podcasting, but less concerned

speaking at slanguages2009
Thursday, 7 May 2009 12:45 A GMT+01
Suddenly realise am almost nervous about my first inworld presentation at the SLanguages.net conference on Saturday. Also that I must write a vague text for the presentation to be available in the speakeasy, eek. Also (#2) I hate timezones, so I *thi
panoramas and closeups altogether
Thursday, 23 April 2009 11:24 P GMT+01
Fell over this the other day, an amazing stitching together of panoramas, but with incredible zoom. There are lots of examples on the site, but I can't get over the fact that you can see so many people (some I surely must have known, except for
how much is $1tn?
Thursday, 2 April 2009 7:26 P GMT+01
Opened up BBC News site to the following headline: "G20 leaders seal $1tn global deal". I'm sure we'll be hearing about it a lot over the coming days and months. I find it difficult to even begin to imagine to conceive of what that
Earth Hour
Saturday, 28 March 2009 8:40 P GMT+01
Tonight, cities round the world are dimming their lights for earth hour . It's being observed in Durham too - a very rare event that the castle and cathedral do not loom over the bailey. Actually the lights won't be completely out on the cat
My TeesLife builds
Monday, 23 March 2009 9:34 P GMT+01
This morning I had a meeting about a Second Life project with a lecturer and I told him I'd go back to my office and take some snapshots of TeesLife so that he could see some of the existing architecture. I thought I'd Animoto them, and I qui
RIP Jade Goody
Sunday, 22 March 2009 10:36 P GMT+01
Jade Goody , peace at the last. Last night as I stopped in the village shop I glanced at an article saying she was doing her best to muster some effort to be with her sons on Mothers' Day, but sadly she didn't make it. I've found her stor

Saturday, 7 March 2009 6:24 P GMT+01
This is quite a good article about secondlife not just about the lind of things people get up to, or how you can make money, but is quite a comprehensive read. O confess I still struggle to work out how you make proper money, but perhaps that'

I really love the perspective painting on the street. I'd like to see one live. Here are some designs drawn by a different artist, but still impressive.

Occasionally things restore your faith in human nature, make you believe it when you're told air travel is the safest public transport, or give you a sense that miracles do happen. Found this at the time, but hadn't got round to blogging it.
what is the world coming to?
Tuesday, 3 February 2009 5:03 P GMT+01
This is quite old , I fell over it last night looking for inspiration for a traditional french café to build in second life (I do have plenty mental pictures, was just browsing for a few fresher ones) and read this with sadness. Partly because

barack obama - my new president
Tuesday, 20 January 2009 7:37 P GMT+01
I can hardly believe how excited I am at the prospect of this new presidency. I mean, generally, it really annoys me that we don't get to vote on the US president when, frankly, muppets like Bush have a vast impact on our lives. And whilst I'

I've come over all inferior. Not that I couldn't do this (and poss even better, if I had the time to take my time over it) but kudos to the idea. Looking forward to seeing it.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/puffbox/hyperpuff/audiovideo/england/779
