			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s called Machinima &#8211; short virtual videos from <a href="http://secondlife.com" target="_blank">Second Life</a>. And the idea spawns a whole new reign of ideas of what to use SL for.</p>
<p>For instance this, where Dane <strong>Flemming Congrejo</strong> produced this small piece about the climate changes in a not so distant future. You might say it&#8217;s primitive&#8230; But it sure works in my opinion. </p>
<p><object width="450" height="277"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WgkM9t3fdm4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WgkM9t3fdm4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="450" height="277"></embed></object></p>
<p>On the blog <a href="http://www.mirrorworld.dk">mirrorworld.dk</a> you can find more on Machinima and other SL and Virtual World stuff.</p>
<p>Thanks to Jimmy from Mirrorworld for the tip and thanks to <a href="http://charlotteshj.wordpress.com/2009/10/22/klima-machinima/" target="_blank">Charlotte S. H. Jensen</a> for the link to the video.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The already prosponed guided tour/seminar through SL for the class of students at the danish IT-University ended in a disappointing crash. The University internal connections and server were not scaled to have an entire class of stundents roam around SL at once. So after just two stops on the tour, it was cancelled and abandoned leaving me alone to explain the probs to the AICR-creator Kristopher Tenk and the AvaStar chief editor Regis Braathens .. Rats :-(]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The already prosponed seminar for the danish IT-University class ended up being a soso-success.</p>
<p>Already from the start there were probs. Some of the 11 students couldn&#8217;t get online or couldn&#8217;t receive the group member notes I made. All in all only six avatars showed up on my doorstep &#8211; including their teacher.</p>
<p>Luckily we got all six avs to <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/ABC%20Island/220/222/42">ABC Sandbox</a>, where they had a chance to try out the SL building tools for a while. It went ok. I think the students had fun, really <img src='http://www.2ndblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Then next stop were the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/INTERFERENCE/82/175/73">Club Intereference</a>, where owner Chrissy Welinder awaited the class. And this were the second strike against the tour. Now only four students made it through. Two crashed due to connection probs at the IT-University. It was not even a SL-flaw this time *lol*</p>
<p>However the four &#8211; with their RL-classmates hangin&#8217; over their shoulders watching &#8211; had some fun and got to talk to one of the most dedicated music-community leaders in SL. Questions were asked and lots of inspiration where purchased, I&#8217;m sure.</p>
<p>Third stop were with Kristopher Tenk at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Scotland/194/75/33">AICR</a> &#8211; the cancer research-guys. This was meant to be an example of what SL also can be used for. But unfortunately we never got THAT far&#8230; Well.. I made it there&#8230; But the final four students crashed too.</p>
<p>Leaving me alone with Kristopher Tenk &#8211; not that I mind <img src='http://www.2ndblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  He&#8217;s a great guy.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.2ndblog.net/?attachment_id=57' rel='attachment wp-att-57' title='Ley Wrangler (left) &#038; Kristopher Tenk at the AICR-shop'><img src='http://www.2ndblog.net/wp-content/aicrkrisandley301007450px.jpg' alt='Ley Wrangler (left) &#038; Kristopher Tenk at the AICR-shop' /></a><br /><i>Me (left) and Kristopher Tenk waiting for the IT-University students, that never came because the University-connection failed them&#8230; and they all crashed one by one <img src='http://www.2ndblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </i></p>
<p>And that marked the end of my first tour/seminar in SL. Lot of things to be learned about getting a hold of a bunch of students in SL &#8211; a bag of fleas *lol* But also about time. SL always takes up more time, than it should.. And I should know that already, huh.</p>
