avatars, etc


I did 2. And Jane helped me out again by showing me how to get them posted here. This was fun. I like the Tektek one better because it looks more like a real person in terms of proportions, rather than the extra-large head of Doppleme. I did the basic video of Second Life, but frankly, it doesn't have much appeal for me. I've never been into role playing games, and haven't played "dress-up" since I was 10 years old. My cousins and I did enjoy getting into the formal gowns and high heels left behind at my grandma's by our aunts to pretend we were princesses. But, I've liked who I am and what my real life is like, and the time committment is more than I'm willing to spend. As I've said before here, I don't feel I have time for all the things I want to do now, and if I'm going to add something else, it must be something I really want. I can see the attraction, and I'm glad that libraries and Sno-Isle in particular have a connection to Second Life. I think that presenting library services where people are is vitally important to our future.
