This is a paper on the principles behind social virtual worlds.

DivShare File – Social_virtual_worlds.pdf

I am still interested in second life. I have to buy the book so I can learn more and create avatars etc. perhaps something to do over the summer.

Thanks to blue tooth I have been able to rescue the 300+ contact details on my mobile phone.The macbook has blue tooth and with some perseverance I was able to find out the method of syncronising my phone’s contact book with the macbook.This is believe me a major load of my mind as I sometime worry about losing all the contact details through loss of phone or SIM card corruption.

Unfortunately I don’t know the answer but I have rounded up some of the ‘laws’ that seem to govern the universe.Here are some of the laws:

Zymergy’s first law of of evolving system dynamics
Once you open a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is to get a larger can.

Etorre’s observation
The other queue moves faster

The law of selective gravity
An object will fall so as to cause the most damage

Boren’s law
when in doubt, mumble

Hoare’s law of large problems
Inside of every large problem is a small problem trying to get out

We are now approaching the end of the summer 2007 term and I think its a good time to reflect on the course and my own transformation thereof.
The course enabled me to get back into the latest trends in the online world.The most significant ways in which I have been transformed are:
1 being able to use the mac platform and associated software especially the podcasting and image software. in particular photoshop elements 3.
2 The digimemo board was very useful and am very glad I got to use this tool.having reached 180 pages on the bord it is safe to say I am an avid user of the tool.
3 I have certainly increased my online / web presence through the blogs (edublogs) & facebook.
I am very keen on edublogs and feel that it has many useful features such as adding widgets – sonofic is good, flickr sidebar and the of course Divshare.
The only thing that might have been better is networking among other members of the course through the blogs.perhaps this might be so in the next round of TTP.
All in all great and innovative course!

I am getting into this facebook thing. in fact I have heard that facebook is more suitable for organising text and life than myspace which I am told is more arty  f…ty! I will give it a try though.

Anyway as a lover of jollof rice I though the jollof rice society idea is excellent. I have joined and have invited my facebook buddies. (susan your membership is required! – thanks and selina too)
