First up, from Chris Kelley&#8217;s blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chriskelley.org\/?p=689\">Virtual manufacturing in second life<\/a>, takes us to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/ent\/movies\/btm\/2008\/01\/23\/video_secondlife\/\">Salon&#8217;s video of virtual factory workers making real jeans<\/a>.  Wow.  Chris comments it&#8217;s a bit &#8220;artsy&#8221; but still, I&#8217;m shocked to see something like this in world so soon.  Worth getting the Salon site pass if you&#8217;re not a subscriber.<\/p>\n<p>Then Malburns Writer and Tara Yeats are back with another great option to view SL video clips from all over.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mogulus.com\/metaworld\">Mogulus channel:  Metaworld<\/a>.  Currently playing, a Korean broadcast with subtitles.  Oh and there&#8217;s Draxtor&#8217;s show.  NICE!  This really rocks, if I can get the embed code to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Edit: I can&#8217;t get Mogulus to embed in WordPress at all, darn.  If anyone has a solution, I&#8217;m all ears.  Otherwise use the link above to get to Mal&#8217;s fab new channel.]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><code><script src='http:\/\/www.mogulus.com\/scripts\/playerv2.js?channel=metaworld&#038;backgroundColor=0xffffff&#038;color=0x333333&#038;showviewers=true&#038;chatEnabled=true&#038;initialVolume=10&#038;on=true&#038;width=454&#038;height=389' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Finally, after reading about it for months, I finally logged into SL from <a href=\"http:\/\/67.202.36.196\/\">AJAXLife<\/a>, the SL browser that uses a plain old webpage.  It is.. mindblowing.  Going to have to make a post over on the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sl-education.org\">SLED blog<\/a> about this one.<\/p>\n<p>So you go to the webpage and log in with your SL credentials.  Your avatar appears in world, according to friends, looking back and forth in confused fashion.  You can&#8217;t see yourself, or indeed anything, since you&#8217;re using a flat web page interface, but you have access to your friends list, local chat, IM, inventory, map, you can teleport.. it&#8217;s like.. using Second Life but being blind &#8211; you can&#8217;t see, but you can &#8220;hear&#8221; and TP.  It&#8217;s .. mindboggling.  And definitely an interesting option for students who can&#8217;t run SL at home but want to participate in a meeting, or contacting friends from a machine that can&#8217;t run SL .. and perhaps might work better with screen readers?  I have no idea, but you must check it out.<\/p>\n<p>Today is one of those days where the metaverse just blows my mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So in trying to get caught up on my feeds, I see that I&#8217;ve missed some things and now my brain is trying to resolve all this new info.
