trees are people too

Gah. Wot a boring title. I can’t think of anything witty.

This semester sees us in second life, so I could call it starting in second life. Or something equally extravagant. I am not sure how it is going to work out. Initial attempts suggest I am no more successful at maneuvering social situations in a virtual world than I am in the real world, but perhaps I am just getting the hang of it. Responses to me joining the virtual world have ranged from howls of horror to blank stares to great (alarming?) enthusiasm, so I am interested to see what will happen.

I need to check out:

First class tomorrow. Um, second life, here I come? apologies for dribbling as well, I feel surprisingly rusty on the blog.
