Civil Engineering in Virtual Worlds
For the past two years, I have been exploring Second Life as a potential tool for civil engineers, public works professionals, and local government. Now, thanks to Silverwing Benoir, a friend of mine from Second Life, I will have the opportunity to present what I have discovered, try to offer some insight into future applications, and hopefully generate some interesting discussion. If anyone is interested in attending this talk, titled Simulating Civil Engineering Projects in Virtual Worlds, it will be held in Second Life at noon (EST), Monday, Dec. 29, 2008. You can register for the presentation for free at the Value-Train Website.

Your Social Media Journey Begins Here
So how many times have you tried to convince your friends and colleagues that they should be on Twitter or LinkedIn? Are you the person making the rounds in your office showing everyone Second Life and trying to convince them of the benefits of virtual worlds. I know I am one of those people shouting the benefits of Web 2.0 from the rooftops. And I share in everyone's frustration because even though people seem to understand and "get it," they never make that final step to actually join.

The Sims Online 8 yrs ago, There.com, SL, Entopia and currently World Of Warcraft which I am LOVING!
WOW is a true "game" which after a day in the SL office is my "down time"
Not sure what if anything I can contribute here.
I run a business yes and I have a good grip on SL and the econimics, buying trends, copyright issues but I dont keep up with LL blogs or do much news related reading.
I tend to keep myself to myself at TRU. I often feel virtualy agraphobic! Its a job to me and has been for 2 yrs now. Long gone are the days of playing games in SL and exploring...just as well I would be issuing DMCAs all day lol
