Dang it Second Life...

Well I tried spending some time on second life again last night and didn't have much luck. My connection would occasionally drop out and just generally had problems running the software (refresh/load times). I know its not my machine's hardware since I've got 2 gigs of Ram and an high performance video gaming PCI-E video card. DANG IT SECOND LIFE!!

CNN Second Life

Hey everyone here is an interesting story about a CNN hub on Second Life.

Second Second Life

For those of you in class who are not "The Office" fans (I know that sounds impossible but I'm relatively sure there is at least one amongst us who does not regularly watch one of the best comedies on TV) tonight's episode contained a storyline that revolved around Second Life. Dwight was so depressed that he created an island in Second Life called "Second Second Life" for people who want to be even more removed from reality. I'm sure if that island doesn't currently exist it will by the time you read this post. Go check it out! Any way I think its funny how what we are talking about in class has worked its way onto an Emmy award winning comedy. I guess this Second Life stuff really is a big deal. Now if only I could get my avatar to actually have MY hair. Dang it.

Watch The Office w/ Second Life Here!

Capstone Project: Wiki Technology

For my group I'll be supporting the wiki technology section. Its really interesting how prevalent this information dissemination apparatus truly is. Its everywhere! And its growing in popularity because so many people love to use it. Imagine if google and wikipedia teamed up... They would rule the world!

Why Gmail is AWESOME

Has anyone noticed that gmail is providing more space for you inbox than ever before? Of course it always used to increase slowly but now its increasing in size by leaps and bounds! At present its at ~4010 MB per user. Remember 4096 MB is 4GB... That is just ridiculous. Google rocks!

Gettin' Political... Well not exactly

Hey guys I don't know how much you all are into politics (or not into politics) but this is a pretty cool website to give you information on where the presidential hopefuls stand on the issues. Well at least a small selection of the issues.

MSNBC Candidate Matrix

This website allows you to read up on what the republican and democratic candidates believe and also watch videos where they discuss the topic. Also its pretty cool because it allows you to indicate how strongly you believe or disbelieve in the candidate's views. After you finish voting the matrix will display a red/green chart indicating where the various candidates align with your beliefs. Its a good tool to help you decide. Don't forget to do your civic duty and vote in 2008.
