Its been a busy couple of weeks, with all sorts of new developments that I should be blogging about!

For starters.. about a week or so ago, I had the absolute pleasure of appearing on Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe in Second Life. The show is produced by a very creative and international group of people in Second Life and broadcast live by SLCN.

You can watch the recording of the event here.

The process of appearing on the show was fun – the studio the team works from is well designed, and the crowd they attract is lively and just a bit cheeky! I am always a bit nervous when I do these types of interviews, but I think it went ok.

Special thanks to Konrad who came along and documented the event for me – including the great images I’ve included here.

We’ve also been busy welcoming new residents on the Islands of jokaydia. It’s great to have Pandora Kurrajong, HeyJude Jenns and staff and students from St. Joseph’s College, Joie Despres, Daneel Ariantho, Rusty Kembla and staff and students from Hobart College, Niello Catteneo, and Leanteamer Zenovka and staff and students from Kangan Batman TAFE with us!!

The other exciting thing I’ve been working on is an Island design and build for the University of Swinburne, Australia. We are establishing Koala Island with a campus feel. It is branded to match the University’s other online spaces, and will be used to host a range of projects inworld during the coming year.

I’ll post further about this project shortly but for now, here’s a few screenshots.

Building the Resource Centre which will house a range of useful resources.

We selected ‘The Atrium’ at Lilydale campus as the key real-life structure we would replicate inworld.
