Wedding in Second Life

Lacie has been a good friend I met several

months ago in this virtual world. Tonite I

attended my first wedding in SL.

I loved Lacie's gorgeous invitation...embellished

with animated purple roses.....

It was a beautiful wedding at Love Knot Weddings, Monterrey dAlliez (150,224,2)--complete with bridesmaids and groomsmen. Lacie and Joffa each had a chance to share their vows with one another witnessed by family and friends...then they were pronounced husband and wife (in their Second Life)...and of course the groom kissed the bride!

Later, the reception was held...with lively music, wedding cake, dancing & white doves! What a wonderful night to enjoy a Second Life!

Virtual Centre for Digital Media

Tonite I telported to the Virtual Centre for Digital Media site, University Project (150, 84, 23) OR
http://slurl.com/secondlife/University%20Project/150/84/23

While there, I met three avatars and joined in the discussion. I realized that when you happen upon a link or site in SL, you construct meaning by asking questions and observing others.

I also explored the island with one of my new friends. Of course, it is SL.....we flew on magic carpets!!

The web link to this site said that "The field of media arts and technology continues to grow... employers demand...high level of creative and technical competence". This site highlights the transformation from traditional SL learning spaces such as lecture halls to those of pleasing, student designs.

Come and enjoy!!

Learn to Build...Build to Learn

Last night I went to my first SecondLife building class---it was on texturing objects. (You can find a listing of classes on the sign-in screen).





The instructor, Golda Stein was wonderful!

We each sat on a pillow and had a white board in front of us that synchronously advanced slides as Golda took us systematically through each step of the building and texturing process.

Golda was a wealth of knowledge....and said that she was able to teach more content to us--because she no longer was spending all of her time typing---thanks to Linden Labs, she was able to speak all of her instructions to us and answer our questions with voice.



Woo hooo! I made a new vase for the beachhouse!

Surf's Up !!

Today I went exploring the surf in SecondLife. The first place I went was Siggy's Water Works Island (179,24,25). It had a variety of spots to try and seemed to work fairly well with my board.

The second place I explored was Midknight Steel Pier (236,199,20) at Inverloch which also had numerous spots to surf--but the best was alongside a pirate ship and various sea creatures.

BUNDORAN REEF

But, my best discovery was Bundoran Reef (of Ireland fame) located at (40,39,26). Its rocky ridges and beautiful water were a perfect match for its tall surfing waves!

What I didn't expect as I explored the island after my surfing was Project Children--described as a project which "brings Irish Protestant and Catholic kids to the USA during the summer months and these kids get an extraordinary chance to play together, live together, and understand each other. Prejudice is replaced by understanding thus hatred is replaced with love. Poverty is replaced by hope for a better tomorrow." Donations are accepted at this and various other locations. See: http://www.slireland.org/ for more info. on donating to the worthy cause!
