As the semester comes closer to ending I have been spending more time in SL building a "time machine" for my final project. I have been doing most of the building near Esme's house and placing it in my inventory when I am not working on it. I am having issues with the teleportation aspects but hope to have that fixed soon when I find a better script. The interior of the time machine will eventually become a place for brief class sessions before embarking on adventures. Above you can seem some shots of the time machine. I chose to not have a roof so that students can literally drop in to the time machine.

Week 10

This week I spent most of my time working on a presentation for the BPVWE conference. I did however, also have time to stop by a few SL events. The first event I attended was an Old Time Radio show. During this event I sat around listening to radio as it would have been in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. I found this very interesting and I would like to find old radio broadcasts from this time and compare them to what I heard in SL. The second event I attended was a poetry reading. the poetry reading was a little bit more intimidating, especially because it was open mic (I did not share any poetry just listened). I thought this event would be more of a coffee house set up but, it was actually a circle set up. I do not know if I would attend events like this again in the future. I am glad though, that I went and gained the experience of stepping out of my comfort zone in SL.
