Thing 23 - Second Life

Introducing Buji Balazic :) I have to admit, I like the name OK but have seen some just wonderful ones from other people.

Like a number of the 23 things, I've found it fun & reasonably easy in the workshop, but don't seem to be get back to "play" in more depth. Well, I've logged on once and managed to get myself lost while trying to work out how to teleport :) For this non-game-player it's not all that intuitive once I get past the basics.

But I WILL continue to find out more about Second Life and similar tools - just perhaps not for a while - perhaps those very early morning baby feeds in a few months time when I will just possibly get some quiet time to be able to take it in! (If I can stay awake of course).

I'm a bit sad the 23 Things have come to an end - I liked Kathryn's recent post about the things she is hoping to learn about in 2009, and will continue to follow this and a number of other blogs to try to piggy-back on the learning of others... I've been pleased with the way I've been able to take some of my existing skills and discover that I can reasonably quickly adapt to these new technologies. Trying to keep up is going to be difficult with a new baby but there are shortcuts available (ie the piggybacking) so I'm hoping that my brain won't atrophy too much!
