A look inside

Posted on December 4, 2007December 4, 2007 by Lori

This is the main entry inside of our building. Here is the board room, complete with viewing screen. All seated and ready to go! A look at the Student Area. Up until this point, I have just been showing the terrain and the main building outside.  They have now started working on the interior a…

Creating Your World in Second Life

Posted on December 2, 2007December 2, 2007 by Lori

I ordered this book, and really like what I found. It gets a bit technical, but is written by people in the know. I am working through the tutorials. I think the snowman is very appropriate at this point with the weather we are having!

Clutter Bug Got Ya?

Posted on December 2, 2007 by Lori

Clutter, clutter everywhere — not an end in sight! Clutter is not only unattractive, but it also drains us psychologically!

Higher Praise — I thought I had lost it!

Posted on December 2, 2007December 2, 2007 by Lori

Higher Praise is a wonderful resource for Bible study, children’s Sunday School lessons, song lyrics, videos and more. For some reason, I lost my bookmark for this and went on a frantic search. Then, I remembered that I had it on the “old site” and decided I really needed to move that stuff over here….

Posted on December 1, 2007October 7, 2025 by Lori

Here is the view on 11/30. It is so fun to see how it went from being the large “E” to the District Logo. I’m going to ask the marketing department for some graphics, but I need to find out what kind of resolution I need for them first.

Now that is more like it!

Posted on November 30, 2007November 30, 2007 by Lori

I guess I got better being a user, and got my ideas communicated. Here is their new design. What I like is that they have a project management system that generates emails and keeps me up-to-date.

My Alter Ego

Posted on November 30, 2007October 7, 2025 by Lori

In Second Life, I am Kiriki Tsure. Yes, folks, you need to know that once you pick your name, you can’t change it unless you create a different avatar entirely! You choose your first name, but your last name you need to pick from a list. I didn’t want to be recognized (ROTFL), so I…

The Building has Commenced!

Posted on November 30, 2007November 30, 2007 by Lori

In my SOW (that is Scope of Work), I indicated an “E”-shaped building. I wanted this to represent our District logo we call, “the bug.” The logo represents the three campuses joined by the Mississippi River. The “E” is really backwards and from an aerial view. Here is what my designers came up with —…
