Waiting for myself
July 04, 2008
An interesting moment in transgressing my own boundaries between self and avatar. Rarely have we appeared together and here only in the name of science. read ...

How tall is tall in Second Life?
June 26, 2008
Well about 202m if you are given 15 minutes to build a tower and you have the physics switched on. That was the challenge I presented to all the avatars who came along to the SL social event organized during the Emerge online conference (23rd to 25th June). On paper (or notecard) a simple task and one that ...

Trans-institutional education.
June 25, 2008

A number of vague ideas that have been bouncing around my head since we finished the first art & design pilot were suddenly brought into focus.

The ultimate OpenSim standalone installer
May 30, 2008
I have an idea. I wonder if it's possible? We have a stack of dusty old PCs cluttering up the place at Uni. Their old network sockets have been stolen by the shiny new computers, and without a network connection, they're pretty useless.

Eduserv's 2008 Second Life Snapshot
May 22, 2008
Eduserv has just published John Kirriemuir's latest snapshot of Second Life use in UK HE/FE: Apart from the fact that my contributions seem to have had words inexplicably added or removed (almost certainly by me), making me sound a bit daft, it's a great ...

May 22, 2008
As the first Open Habitat pilot with Art & Design students draws to a close it???s worth reflecting on how the process has gone before we dive into the formal analysis of interview transcripts, surveys and building work in Second Life. read ...
