Border Memorial Field Test and Documentation

Reblogged from John Craig Freeman: On Tuesday, January 16th, after three days of driving from New England, I arrived in Benson Arizona, which put me on the shore of the Border Memorial database. I spent the next two days driving throughout southern Arizona documenting as many of the individual data points as possible. The work [...]

Sheryl Oring is a typist. I really like typists. Honestly, in my line of work, a typist is sort of your best friend. I say “in my line of work,” I guess I mean, “in my way of being,” since I’m an NCP. No, not an NPC, an NCP. What a difference transposing two letters [...]

At the end of the 1984 adaptation of The Razor’s Edge, on departing from Elliott Templeton’s Parisian palace, Larry tells Joseph the butler that he’s going home. Joseph asks him where that is, and Larry replies “America.” I’ve lived in The Hague for ten years now. I came as a choreographer for the Bush Administration, [...]

Day 26

Yesterday I reached land’s end, LEA17. That, and, even if I hadn’t, my bones have grown weary of this 64°N latitude. It’s way time to head south. How I dream of slipping into non-frigid equatorial waters. And it is a dream. I am so far from that, that it might as well be another life. [...]

Day 25

About 33 months ago I discovered evaxebra’s contributions to the daily self-portrait phenomena “365 Days.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/evaxebra/ hahaha, and it only, apparently, takes me 33 months to get around to starting something, so about 25 days ago I started posting a self-portrait a day. I tried DailyBooth and 500px, both really cool sites, but I think [...]

I Wore a Mesh Dress & I Liked It

OMG, so much IDK if I’ll ever wear a system or prim dress again! This makes me think about amateurs and ghettos. AMATEURS The beauty of a “building” oriented virtual world is that anyone can, with moderate ease, make anything. It’s not hard to take an image or slogan you like and have your avatar [...]

Tao

Reblogged from The Virtual Adventures of Monerda and Pennyroyal: Ok, here’s the thing. It takes a lot to make me gasp and get goose bumps. It takes even more to make me want to take off all my clothes and immerse myself naked in a work of art! But that is exactly what the Tao [...]

Are we “Alone Together” in WoW? – Solo Play pt. 10

Reblogged from Ironyca Stood in the Fire: Last part (part 9) was about secret alts and the need for time outs. This post may take some of that conversation and turn it upside down. Hunter’s Pets and Companion Pets When I spoke to my teacher about this project, he reminded me that perhaps players could [...]

Secret Alts, RealID and Obligations – Solo Play pt. 9

Reblogged from Ironyca Stood in the Fire: As is evident, WoW has great potential to turn even solo play into a social experience as we saw in the previous parts, depending on what level of sociability we tap into. However, solo play was also utilized as an escape from the social venue of the game, [...]
