    MU Motocross Saturday! 

    poster for Medici University Motocross

    Saturday 31 January ’15
    Medici University Motocross
    • Competition: 7pm SLT – Torch Bridge
    • Dance Afterparty: 8pm SLT – The Black Sun (Katy Perry’s Face)

      Name Change?

      I’d like to suggest a name change for The Black Sun. I do appreciate that there is no more iconic name for avatardom than The Black Sun, still, I have to ask if we’ve created a The Black Sun?

      Whatever a Black Sun looks like, it probably isn’t this. And the fact that we have to acknowledge that no one will know what we’re talking about with “(Katy Perry’s Face)” suggests that we accept the obvious and rename the MU Danceteria to KatyPerryopolis!

      As you are no doubt aware, Miss Perry is the most popular human being on the face of the earth. And whether one loves, loathes, or has (somehow) never even heard her music, that can’t be a bad association to have. Does Neal Stephenson even have a twitter?

      KatyPerryopolis!

          4. Continue…

      MU is so lucky to have a *Blogger-in-Residence! Lovely work Paypa!

      You almost remind me of Gabrielle from the good ‘ol Xena days. (in the beginning, when she was actually a Bard and defeated peeps with her mind, before they turned her into Xena Jr.)

      • Paypabak Writer 17:42 on 29/01/2015 Permalink | Reply

        I never had much success as a Bard in games! Thanks! I do wish I could attend the event but I am off the grid visiting my younger son in Florida. Nice to get away from the dropping temps but sad to miss what I propogated. I do hope they’ve set up ramps though!

    I am looking to Open Space to discuss, “What are we going to do about live theatre and performance in Second Life? If you are interested, I would love to talk about ideas, possible projects, and collaborations. I am particularly interested in creating live interactions/experiences between avatars, but am interested and open to all discussions, even those not seemingly related to performance. I hope to be able to call some working sessions with those who are curious or passionate in the near future, so please send me your name or drop me a line. I have substantial real life experience but little in world practice, but I am passionate about this medium’s potential!

      This is fantastic Diptheria! Your own MU Studio may well be enough space for some of this work, and we have other spaces if you need more.

      We can post a Calendar here on MU/Talk where things can be added: Classes / Workshops / Impromptu Discussions / Live Interaction-Experience Explorations etc

    Interestingly, in which you play computer games. There are so many wonderful games. I am now playing Neverwinter. It’s amazing! There is created a real artificial intelligence. Highly recommend this game.I also do a bit of computer games. There is a project, when the player of Chaos creates the world and the world begins to evolve. There is a problem of good and evil. It is not clear, there will be Satan or not!

    Maria Bridges 

    Bridges can be between friends, towns, cities, sometimes countries.  Bridges are for building, walking, tearing down and building again.

    Little Bridges – Right now, there are two bridges straddling the gorge based at Maria 13 and 6 (http://mediciuniversity.co.uk/artists-studios/). The goal is to whittle it down to one bridge. One of these? Maybe. Both bridges are wooden. One is a classic “girder” style with twinkling lights all over it. The other is an arched deck, blackened, with four torches on each side. Although crossing that torch bridge might singe your eyebrows, you should see Paypaback ride her motorcycle across it!  Thoughts on bridges are welcome~!

    Big Bridges – There’s also a big bridge closer to Mt. Rushmore. What? Thats not Mt. Rushmore? Well who is on Mt. Rushmore if it isn’t the three of them? Some kind of bridge building curriculum is in the works for that. Imagine a bridge building collaborative “class,” including formal bridge installation, party on bridge, and  more.  There could be one bridge per month between March and June, if the class flows in the usual SL relaxed manner. More extensive info is forthcoming in the class schedule!

    Need Any Help?

    Hello all, I’m the webmaster here for Medici University & MU/Talk. I’m also a college student at King’s College in London, so I’m definitely not a pro, but if you have any website questions or need any help with anything, I’ll try my best.

        Hello Alexandre, is there a link or URL to see your experiments?

      I do not give these links open viewing. I can give only privately in the world.

      Thank you for taking on this important role. I have submitted a faculty application, however I noticed that in Google Chrome on Mac OSx, the application form seemed to just reload on submit. I’m not certain as to whether my inquiry was received. Sorry for the customer service annoyance, but I think i’m directing this to the right expert.

      • Xue 00:30 on 29/01/2015 Permalink | Reply

        Hi Newton. So sorry about that! Did you restart Chrome & restart your Mac? That often helps! We use “Ninja Forms” which seems to work pretty well. I can try it out on Mac/Chrome tomorrow and see if I can replicate whatever happened for you. Did you try Safari?

        We did receive a Staff application from, perhaps your sister, just fine. But sadly, I don’t see a Faculty application from you in the cue at this time. Keep me posted and I’ll see what I can sort out on this end!

        TY / Sorry!

        • Newton 01:33 on 29/01/2015 Permalink | Reply

          Thank you for your speedy response in this matter. Your answer regarding having not received it is tremendously helpful and I shall submit it anew in a different browser, posthaste. All the Best.

    Greetings from the Office of the Chaplain 

    Hello. It is with high hopes and congratulations that we watch MU come alive.

    The Office of the Chaplain is here to provide resources for worship, social opportunities, weddings, funerals, and other rites as needed.

      Thank you for your warm welcome Chaplain Beedit. In honor of all the wonderful new students moving in to MU just now, I’d like to officially wave the traditional L$1 fee for holding weddings and other special events. For the rest of Spring Semester, holding special events at MU will be free for all Students, Faculty & Friends of MU.

        As an example of immediate free gratis services mentioned above, just stop by the Chaplain’s office located at #8 Camilla, and ask any question you like of the TempleSkully. You can’t miss him.

          I found Skully’s logic to be rather eccentric. And that poor skull goes on more tangents than me!

      Fantastic BiR! Or is it BIR? In any case, you’re off to a great start. Thank you so much for your participation.

      Have you met Ananda, btw? We’ve got about 3 Bloggers and about 3 Creative Writing students so far. The 6 of you make quite a nice cohort. And actually, while MU/Talk is absolutely for everyone, you guys were the impetus to launch MU/Talk! 😀

    Your MU/TALK Profile! 

    Medici-University-2

    MU / TALK

    Some of you may be participating mostly for the in-world RP and not necessarily interested in talking here on MU/TALK. This is fine. Others will like the ability to interact with peers and help plan programs and share resources. You can make pages and collaborate on any info you like. And you can also just casually chat here. Post a photo or video. Share a link.

    Your Profile

    It might be helpful to post a “Profile” here. It’s optional. And what it includes is up to you. You could say something about your current goals. Perhaps your background. Of course links to your website or social media.

    LMK if you have any questions or if I can help with anything here on the site, or on campus.

    Happy Learning!

        Fantastic Ananda, welcome! You already have several blogger companions on the MU campus, and there are 2 or 3 other Creative Writers who applied and were accepted. I think they may not have arrived yet due to the unfortunate gmail habit of sending my emails to spam. I’ll resend the acceptance letters from a “safe” gmail address in the next few days.

        If you’d like to post something about yourself and your work here, that’d be great! You could post some of the wonderful text from your application if you like. You could also use this place as a scratch sheet to work out your program ideas. I find that most things are better in public. That’s the power of something like MU/Talk, and also the hope in the design of the MU Campus at LEA23.

        For sure you don’t have to post anything here, or anything specific. But if you try to work out your Program, Goals, Steps, here, then I and others can help you formulate that plan and achieve those goals.

    Lag on a Grecian Urn 

    I just put up a monument to lag based on Keats’, “Ode on a Grecian Urn”. The poem is about a couple frozen in time, though in this case, he can never catch her because there is too much lag! There are poseballs on the urn so you can become the frozen couple, and experience all the beauty and truth of lag.
