Monte's Gaming Blog
My beloved M has started a "real" blog as part of his author's website. He'll be using it mostly to discuss gaming, the gaming industry, writing, that sort of thing. He's an excellent GM and a true geek, so his stuff is pretty interesting to me. If you think it will be interesting to you, check him out, and pass the link along ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
This is a video clip (about 7 min), from a KQED show called Quest that did a segment on Second Life. It's a good introduction to SL and how it is seen as having potential in education and as a new information space.
The interviewer worked with SJSU, including a friend of mine, Robin (Greylin Fairweather) to film some of Second Life, and show off ( Read more... ) -
Living in Paintings - SecondLife
I've never embedded a video before. In fact, I don't even like videos, I rarely click on them myself. So I will understand if you don't click on this one. But please do. It is such a great way to explain why I've become so instantly and completely addicted to SecondLife. It's not a game, it is a palette for creating worlds.
Completely safe for work ( Read more... ) -

Social Tagging?
Just throwing this out there to those geek friends of mine who keep up on this stuff better than I do. For one of my classes, I'm thinking about doing a paper on how it might be possible for a library to set up a social tagging system for assembling good websites, as an alternative to maintaining by hand a set of study guides (I didn't know these ( Read more... ) -
Labyrinth Alert: Grace this Friday
Some folks have expressed interest in labyrinth doings, so here's your heads up. My mum and I, and anyone who'd like to come with us (we have space for two or three), are going up to Grace Cathedral in SF this Friday to walk the labyrinth and enjoy something of a multi-media experience. It's the first night of a new vampire LARP, and I still think ( Read more... ) -
Brief Public Service Announcement
I just got an email from Blood Centers of the Pacific, begging type O donors for blood. Less than one day's supply is available, going into the unfortunately bloody Memorial Day and summer driving season. Giving blood is one of those things that I do when it's convenient, but not as I should. I feel guilty about it. So I called them up and said I ( Read more... ) -

I started with just some idle notes, but this got long and maudlin. Fair warning, you may want to scroll on by ( Read more... ) -
