Tomorrow is the Nebraska Library Commission’s Vendor Day and as part of the festivities I get 30 minutes to introduce Second Life. So, with the discovery of the video I posted earlier today I decided to take a different approach and assemble 30 minutes worth of YouTube videos and use them. (I’ll most likely cut short the Vega song short as I’m using it more as an intro to the video on building her SL guitar.) I’ve still got handouts but I thought this would be an interesting experiment. The videos are presented for you below and I’ll report back afterwards as to how the audience liked it.

Here’s a great short video introducing Second Life. I think I’ll use this one tomorrow. Listen for the line about linking from Second Life to an “old fashioned Web site”.

In-service Day
30
Apr 2007
On Friday I was honored to attend and present at the Lincoln City Library’s In-Service day. I haven’t had a faster or more fun Arbor Day in my life. I was great to meet so many librarians from my new home town and to see how excited you were about all the new technologies I was presenting. At one point during my Flickr presentation someone asked for more specific examples of how to use Flickr in a library. Well, here’s one. Use Flickr to post a slideshow of an event on the library’s blog/Web site.

And so it begins… again!

Now here’s an amazing yet wonderful coincidence. Over the past month I’ve been re-watching the whole Babylon 5 series once again. (Last night I watched the episode in which we discover who Valen really was.) Not five minutes after finishing that episode I check my feeds and the Amazon.com blog informs me that Babylon 5: The Lost Tales, the first of a new series of direct-to-DVD movies is being released at the end of July. I’m so excited! Now I’ve got to get through the rest of the series, the movies, and Crusade in the next three months. (And yes, I just pre-ordered my copy.)

The iPod Song (a new verse)

I wish I were a little apple ipod
Whether podcasting or belting out a tune
If I had to, I could even be a shuffle,
But sorry, I could never be a zune!
