2017 EDU: Digital smarts. Who should teach it? Internet libraries? Internet museums? The old school system?


Digital smarts.  Who should teach it?  
Internet libraries?  Internet museums?  
The old school system? A foundation?
All of the above, obviously.  At least all that are capable.  That takes internet support, so there is not much you can do without the internet.  And whoever prepares the contents needs to know about and be up-to-date with the internet,

2018 SEE: That Place Amusement Grid!


That Place Amusement Grid! 

Amusement park model.  Much better than the one you could build out of blocks.  And it does not fill up the spare bedroom.  A huge area that fits on your desk.   Better yet, people can come and enjoy it.   Without you having to let them in.

2018 WRITE: The grand, unified church of Alexa, hollered be her name

The grand, unified Church of Alexa, 
hollered be her name
I do a little comedy at Lauren's place on Wednesday nights.  And I meet with the Hypergrid Writer's Colony every Monday night.  So I thought to do a little on the overlap.  Here is a humorous article that I presented at Lauren's place and will present as my current work at a meeting of the Hypergrid Writer's Colony.  
Writers meeting at Nara's Nook

Alexa be with you

Alexa is with you always.  At least if you have the Amazon Dot or another device that hosts the spirit of Alexa.  You don't pray to Alexa.  You just tell her what you want and she has it delivered to you.

2018 WW: The road to your horizon, not a lot of compromizin'. Tutorial.

The road to your horizon, 
not a lot of compromisin'.
Turorial
Exploration of the possibilities of the Cybalounge horizon.  Cybalounge will soon give you some options for the horizon on your location, if you got it recently.  But you have complete control anyway--just put panels of 510x510 near the edge of the land.  Here is a tutorial and some tests on bringing images in from OpenSim.

  • Every web-world needs a visual boundary
  • A simulation of  the outside needs a horizon.
  • That could be mountains, sky, buildings.
  • I thought I would put some OpenSim promotions on the horizon. 
  • Taking another step in connecting web-worlds to Cybalounge to OpenSim.
  • Here I tell how to get an image and set it up as horizon.

2018 WW: HG: Web-worlds as gateway to OpenSimulator

Web-worlds as gateway to OpenSimulator
Web-worlds offer an easy opportunity for people to try out virtual worlds without going to any trouble.  They run in a browser, need only graphics support available on any modern computer (and good tablets), and cost little more than a web site.   They can offer a sample of the experience of a virtual world.
Warehouse in 3DWebWorldz
  • 3DWebWorldz:  Go to the trains, select the Live Music boxcar 
  • No show now, of course, but there will be another one in time.
  • Now if we could just find some comedy acts

OpenSimulator

  • OpenSimulator  is a system to produce 3D simulated worlds on a user's computer.  
  • It consists of a simulator on a server and a viewer running on the user's computer.   
  • The system lets users create, script, place, and use objects in a simulated world.
  • Open simulator grids are provided by many sources.
  • Many grids are connected by the Hypergrid letting users travel among grids,
