Il mezzo espressivo che ho scelto per raccontare la mia secondlife è quello che ultimamente più mi rappresenta e vorrei dare l'avvio ad un genere innovativo di pubblicazioni, una serie di dischi accompagnati da testo e voce narrante che intendono esplorare il mondo virtuale specialmente in relazione al settore dell'education, della formazione, dell'arte e della cultura, ma non escludo ulteriori sviluppi.
Ho scelto di pubblicarlo su Lulu, recentemente disponibile anche per l'Italia, ecco il link

Title: Black Holes, Bright Lights: Quasars as Probes of the Early Universe
Speaker: George Djorgovski (RL) / Curious George (SL)
Date: Saturday, March 21, 2009
Time: 10:00 AM Pacific Time (SL Time)
Location: The large amphitheater on the sim named StellaNova

Abstract:
Quasars are the most powerful sources in the universe, believed to be powered by accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes in the cores of galaxies. Their formation and evolution likely traced the formation of galaxies themselves. Due to their brightness, they can be seen at very large distances, reaching to the times when the universe was less than a billion years old. They can be used to illuminate the early stages of evolution of galaxies, large scale structure, and the intergalactic medium.
This science talk is intended for the general public. All are welcome. It's part of a series of popular talks produced in association with the Meta Institute for Computational Astrophysics (MICA).

Rezed "Educational Implications of Mixed-age Versus Age-segregated Virtual Worlds."
At RezEd Central, we are always looks for ways we can better serve our growing community of educators.
We had such a great response to our first virtual conference in Second Life last November, that we have decided to hold seasonal virtual meetups for the RezEd community to socialize, network and share information more regularly.
Our first Spring Meetup will take place on Wednesday March 25 at the Foundations Sim in Second Life, generously offered by the MacArthur Foundation.
The topic is a hot one:
"Educational Implications of Mixed-age Versus Age-segregated Virtual Worlds."
We have three excellent speakers who can address this subject from a youth, teacher and librarian perspectives, plus lots of time for Q&A, discussion and socializing.Here's the details:
WHAT: RezEd.org's Spring Virtual Meetup
WHERE: Second Life, Foundations Sim (Teleport Link)
WHEN: Wednesday, March 25, 12-1pm PST / SLT
WHO: Lucky Figtree: Teen Second Life Resident
Peggy Sheehy: Teacher, Suffern Middle School
Kelly Czarnecki: Librarian, Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County
It's going to be a fun and thought-provoking event.
Please invite your friends and colleagues interested in the changes going on in the Main Grid and Teen Grid of Second Life, how other virtual worlds and MMORPGs navigate mixed-age and age-segregated spaces, and the impacts upon education and youth development.
