Hahaha - you are a cute, LITTLE thing - no matter what your demented mind thinks about yourself.

...but we are also the ones that drink and eat imaginary things in our virtual breakfast kitchen and enjoy the warmth of campfires and the refreshing coolness of an icy beer that exist in our minds and hearts. Imagination is a wonderful thing....embrace it We are so ready to take on a Second Life

Depression Road is lined with wall-to-wall wine racks, refrigerators, and fast food joints - on BOTH sides...you haven't seen me in a year!
But I still insist you're sweet!

Now, I'm off to re-stock the larder...(shut up, Vickie...I'm NOT talking about my arse.)
Probably stop at McDonald's for lunch. Sigh.

There were a couple of those Wii pictures that got by the photo police from the BMR gtg.......just saying sweetie

Mitch, I'm visiting folks on business in Mill Valley, and computating out of a Starbucks this morning.

I've just made a complete fool of myself guffawing when I saw that picture!

I've been away for a couple days because I've been at the Second Life Community Convention, doing the networking thing. Now I'm back and recovering.

I love your Avatar!

I've got just the thing for you. I've got a gizmo that, whenever you start typing, makes a donut appear in your hand, so you talk and eat donut.
I've got one for potato chips as well.

Tell me your name in Second Life and I'll friend you! We could meet up in Second Life!

[mitch5252]

...so you talk and eat donut. I've got one for potato chips as well.

Hell, I don't need a video game to do that!!!!
That's pretty much my daily life.

Got any with celery sticks and carrots?

I've been seeing commercials for a new TV show about Second Life. Apparently they're going to be talking about people who are addicted to it ...

Yesterday I was looking through our student logger, and noticed 'mitch5252 Resident' !! Welcome to UH HHP, mitch!

Why, thank you. I strolled a bit down your garden path.
Haven't been back to the program.

I'm just getting caught up here, but wanted to extend my welcome to the forum, Annie!

Extremely interesting! I work as a contract (meaning I am not an official employee) instructional designer, mostly of web-based training, for a automotive manufacturer in Michigan. (The one that didn't get a bailout.) Most of what we do is really basic because of budget--old-fashioned page turners with some simple similations and animations--nowhere near as sophisticated as what you do.

I couldn't get into your site, but I will try it at home.

I also teach online business communication for a local college, which I really enjoy. Our courses are pretty conventional, however, and very much parallel the on-ground versions. (My class is taught both ways, with several other instructors teaching it on-ground.) I would love to be able to be able to do some of the stuff you do. Your college is very lucky.

[Anniepoo]

Yup! Loving the instructional design part of my job.

It's the first week of using SL for most of our students. I've been shepherding students through figuring out SL all week.

No luck to it - but using SL does require a commitment to using it enough to pay back the training curve for SL itself. We're mostly moving courses off of blackboard into it.
Second Life itself is free. An educational program usually needs space, but I let startup educational experiments use my personal land.

I'm new, and I'm north up here in Santa Rosa, though rather sedentary, with a trailer and no truck to pull it yet. But I'm bank rolling some dough for that, maybe in 6-12 months, hopefully less. I need a 1/2 ton, preferably less than 10 years old, and less than $10,000.
