"What is Time" Part 1 – Thank You
This morning we had the first part of “Time – What is It?” as part of the continuing Café Sophistry curriculum. It was a pleasure to have the following people present:

Excellent Oona.

Thanks to all allowing Newton to post the log file and thank you, Newton, for having done it. I enjoyed reading it from the first to the last letter without noticing the time it took. I may use the word wrong here but I liked the mood very much.

The Golden Rule
I’ve heard about a few incidents recently where 2 or more MU Learners have gotten into a bit of a spat over something. In most cases it seems like no party is being all that mean-spirited, but that we just have different ways of being in this world.

I was chatting with Myra or Neeva or someone at the author event about sailing. I was encouraged to work out a sailing date for creatives at MU and a week from this Saturday, April 17th, after 8:30 am SLT works for me. If I can get something of a consensus about time, we can plan to meet at the Royal Yacht Club, rez sailboats and have a sailing party. I can carry eight folks on my boat, but if there are other sailors among us, the more the merrier.
-
Fanny
Yay, Pay, a great idea!
I would love to participate and can carry folks as well. The only thing I have to check is how to prevent schedule collisions on that Friday because 10 am SLT I want to be at the University to visit the VPA 198 meeting. But if I see it right, we do not have a fix time for the sailing event yet.
-
Paypabak Writer
It’s not on Friday, but Saturday. Did I have the date wrong? I sure did. It’s the 18th, Saturday!
-
Oona
I’d love to go too, if I can get up that early. 🙂
-
Paypabak Writer
I am getting a number of people interested but no times. So let’s plan on 11AM SLT. Sign up here. I’ll have an LM soon.
-
-
Fanny
Ok, so I am signing up here. 🙂
I would suggest, though, to correct the date in your opener post where it still says Saturday, April 17th.
-
Fanny
I am not sure why, but I seemed having missed it as I just saw a sailing photo in Neeva’s Flickr stream. I have been on campus, though, to see if anyone would be around and thought that you may have canceled the event.

What is Time – Sunday 8am SLT
“Time is a fluid condition which has no existence except in the momentary avatars of individual people. There is no such thing as was – only is.
– William Faulkner”
Can time be manipulated? Why does it sometimes pass more quickly? Does the time you put into your virtual life mean something different?
All this and more on Sunday at 8am SLT, Nostradamus 9.

rmarie
Oona, While logged into the blog, head for http://mediciuniveristy.co.uk and go to Schedule > Calendar. At the top, look for “New” and you should see “Event” under that menu. If you don’t, you may need to be added to alist of users with the ability to update the calendar. Just let me know if you can’t do that. I can help you in a few hours otherwise.

Anyone Wanna Bug The LEA with Me?
Hi,
I’m a student at Medici University. I don’t know much about the way things work in the Linden world, but I do know the great things happening at MU. I’ve been there for about 2 months, and I know personally the rewards I’ve reaped.
When I first came to Medici U I didn’t know what to expect. But the draw of what it offered, intrigued me. Now 2 months later, I’m creating more than I did in the first place, am constantly inspired to create more and actually have made amazing friends.
Why I’m writing. (More …)

Hi! How were you able to put gif animation in the second Life?
-
Art
Great things said here Paypa! MU really is bursting at the seams with activity and I havent seen THIS much going on anywhere else at LEA, as wonderdul as they are (and as a side note it really is fantastic to be involved with an LEA sim so up close after years of being a fan). These six months are a bit of an experimental frenzy and by June a grant would harness the results just as the active crowd have found their stride.. Loving MU in all its creative madness!
-
Oona
“I would love to see one of the big educational groups in SL take a look at the “business model” MU has set forth and adopt it. Hell, one of them ought to extend the grant. Izzy may have already made reservations for her nervous breakdown in July (I know I have!), but that shouldn’t stop things from making MU a permanent fixture in SL.”
YES! This place is amazing, and i think it should be a permanent thing as well. Perhaps we should have a letter writing campaign. 🙂 I too don’t even wanna think about when this all goes away. I came here not really knowing what to think. Now I’m creating and having the best time. That’s pretty amazing for self serve education.
-
Paypabak Writer
Alex, FeelsEmpty would know more about the GIFs. I’ve seen such things in SL for several years, but not as sophisticated as FE’s panels.
Art and Oona, between the creativity and making new friends, MU is truly the kind of thing the LEA finds justification in its mission.

Big Avatar on Campus Week #4
The theme of this week for me has been to think outside the box a little more.. brain tingling conversations on MU, music that makes you drop everything and take it in, and prims.. wild wild prims doing what they do best. Inspire.

Who needs me! Yes! It should just be a self-service screen test station! I’ll try to make a couple more “stand” animations for peeps and perhaps add a few more props. You’ve done a stellar job!
-
Fanny
What!
Oh my rolls eyes … yes, I guess Izzy chose the form of a Notecard to inform about the Landimpact madness of some to keep it private. I have to admit, though, that I am a bit annoyed and having a hard time to hold back right now. But … I will. I won’t even lose a word about a certain Official-Someone.
Sheesh!
But if there is need for a class how to count prims, let me know. I can teach it.
growls and goes off
-
FeelsEmpty
I deleted all my prims!
How annoying though! Prim-shaming!-
Izzy
I’m so sorry about this Feels. Prim shaming was not at all my intention! You’re an amazing participant here at MU and I specifically said in the notecard that I’d rather have YOU rez 900 prims than 100 from someone who never shows up.
It was not my intention to have you or anyone else delete anything.
But I had to say something. It’d be irresponsible of me to say nothing and just let the sim crash.
It’s always been the MU vision to be very flexible. The pieces you’ve created are fantastic!!! I was sad when I saw you’d derezed them.
I apologize Feels. This was not my intention.
-
FeelsEmpty
haha I’m not really annoyed relax
-
Izzy
Prim Shaming! The secret shame!
It’s time to come out from the closet, declare your Prim Hog Pride! We’re consumers! We like stuff! Be Proud!!!
-
-
-
Fanny
Feels, there was not even a letter about having to delete all your prims.
But yes, there is a limit each of us can use.
The same as anywhere in SL.
But for free.
Isn’t this great?And, Izzy, IF there is someone who has to apologize then it is me. I am sorry that my annoyance about a certain person lead to my post.
-
FeelsEmpty
I was gonna delete them anyway I got bored of them. gonna IM ya
-
FeelsEmpty
Hmm Fanny! You really didn’t have to be catty about Michael ya know. He introduced me to MU and I wouldn’t even be on SL because of him. I know he got a bad rap for his GOOD interview but if you move past that you’ll see that he’s recanted his views and has been discovering new things. We’re all learning and if you have something to say to anyone it’d be more constructive to message us directly and educate, rather than than throw shade like that. I respect your work and am a little disappointed you unfriended me over this!
-
Fanny
/me pokes your eye 😀
We are just busy with talking in IM, so I may.
But I have to say here that I did not unfriend you as we have not been friended before. 😉-
FeelsEmpty
I’m sorry!!! I could have sworn I did

Also FYI I wasn’t annoyed at this at all just being facetious about that part in Izzy’s note which said it wasn’t meant to shame anyone I found it funny.

Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders: Joshua Reeves
The Startup Journey: A Marathon, Not a Sprint
Joshua Reeves, co-founder and CEO of ZenPayroll
I love the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leader Series! (“ETL”) So many smart peeps sharing visions. Payroll sounds important, but dull to me! But Joshua Reeves really has powerful insights into how things work and how we can achieve not just “success” but “satisfaction.” In the latter portion he talks about the importance of scheduling your time, “otherwise you’re just reacting to whatever’s happening.” I don’t know about you, but I spend so much time just reacting to whatever’s happening! He also notes that he assumes there are always 1,000 good ideas, so it’s never about “what can we do,” but about “what’s most important for us right now.” Again, it may be an “entrepreneurship” talk, but I think so many of his ideas apply to our never-enough-time art careers too.
Enjoy!

Screen Tests!
Hello All!
I participated in a bunch of “Screen Tests” a long time ago and it was so fun. The idea was pretty simple: try not to move for about 3 minutes. Kind of like photo portraits in a way, but alive. And with eye blinks and small movements and such. I’ve decided to do a new batch and I’d love to have YOU be a part of it!
It’d be great if you’d like to BYO Stand Animation. And hopefully it’s one that barely moves. The less the better. But just a little is good. I’ve got lighting and such at my new studio at Maria-14 (the underwater one, next door to Neeva Torok and across from Collaborateopolis)
Up top is a sample of a Screen Test with Strawberry Singh, and here’s my own:
-
Skye McLeod Fairywren
These look like fun, Edie! I came by to do a screen test, but you were offline…IM me when you can! xXx
-
Myra
These are fun, Edie. I’d love to do it.
-
Oona
Hey Edie, what do we have to do to participate in this? I’m in, just IM me if you see me! 🙂 🙂
-
Edie
Hi Skye, Myra & Oona! It’d be great to have you do Screen Tests! I have one “stand” that I used for My and Berry’s screen tests, as you can see it has very little motion. It’d be great to use a different stand, if you have one, or if anyone has suggestions for very minimal movement stands.
It could also have a bit more movement and be framed looser. But again, the idea is mostly a “living portrait” rather than an “animated” piece.
So, to do these, all we need is
A Stand
Pick a timeThank you for your interest!
