Metaversal Arts

I had honour to meet a lovely avatar Yolanda Hirvi, who is an in-world designer and the owner of the Metaversal Arts island in Second Life. Metaversal Arts is a brand and a group of content creators in the Second Life metaverse. In the island there are various and wide selection of items for sell, mainly built in the spirit of the victorian period (ie. antiques). There is a lot to buy but also plenty just to admire by avatar's own eyes.

I was interested to see the island so I made in-world search and teleported in to the island. After some minutes Yolanda caught me and said hello. I never had met her before, but she is in my Facebook friend list. We started to chat and it was so nice and funny that it eventually took an hour or more.

After saying goodbyes she gave me an excellent pair of shoes made by her and a brand new model of victorian phone. :) Thanks for nice chat and those wonderful unique items I saved in to my inventory!

Building class in the Insight Virtual College

There is quite useful in-world search option in Second Life. I used it for seeking what would happen in the learning genre in the near future. There were plenty of activities going on and to be. I picked up one which started in some minutes: A free building class in the Insight Virtual College.

I will add the introduction of the class here: "Building Module II is a detailed overview over the different tabs of the Edit Menu. Today we will look at the Features Tab. This class is designed for students with beginner's experience in building who have already completed Module I and want to deepen their knowledge about the Edit Menu. By the end of class you will understand how to use the Features tab and you will walk away with a simple but funny hat!"

So I teleported to the Insight Virtual College's Shepherd Halls Ground Level where the class was just about to begin. The instructor, Lara Shepherd, wished me warmly welcome and the class started...and it was all fun.

I can very warmly suggest the Insight Virtual College's classes. The atmosphere was comfortable, the class was well structured and I got what I was looking for: The basic knowledge of Edit window's Features tab's possibilities and skills for building a funny flexible hat!

There is information about the classes also in the web: http://ivc.2ksite.com/viewforum.php?f=4
