		<title>And now, a word from the Founder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many thanks to Singularity U, director Matt Rutherford, and to Randall Hand who brought it to my attention   After chatting at SLCC 2009 this past summer, I appreciate the immediacy of this lecture.

It&#8217;s hard for me to listen to the entire talk and retain the best explanations &#8211; but clear and current they [...]]]></description>

		<title>A visit to ScienceSim Geography regions &#8211; OpenSim with turbo boost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t have much to say about these regions that hasn&#8217;t been written already, and my views have been less aesthetic than Shenlei&#8217;s.
But in the interest of boosting the bandwidth by which I can share OpenSim, I&#8217;ve invested in a much newer Adobe Premiere Elements than I&#8217;d been using for the past five or so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking a break from OpenSim modeling, in planetarium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The work on Point Reyes Station has more LiDAR data on tap, but this evening I&#8217;m taking a solar sauna in the Kepler planetarium.  It&#8217;s a captivating display for both young and older eyes.

		<title>A bit more detail &#8211; Point Reyes Station 1:4 model</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just time to post a couple of shots from Alaska North in ScienceSim.com grid.  This build is being created with resources provided by the ScienceSim Land Grant Program, and should remain accessible until June 2010.  Downtown area has been refined with 21cm LiDAR grid sculpty prims.
I haven&#8217;t figured out how to get the [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Land &#8211; 1km square in 1 full region of ScienceSim.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good stuff has been happening &#8211; and GIS data has been finding its way into OpenSim!
Thanks to the persistence of Kim Smith and with help from John Jainschigg, I made my first-ever live audience presentation in the World2Worlds venue on 2009 12 15.  Trying to fit everything into a regular work day, I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solstice in Spirit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This blog has been shamefully quiet, but Darb&#8217;s efforts have been continuing.  Just a touch stealthier than before.
On ScienceSim.com, I found a pleasant roost from which to enjoy the solstice sunset.

		<title>Second Life: The long and short of the road ahead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, the third day of SLCC 2009, Philip Rosedale and Mark Kingdon provided the telephoto and wide-angle views of the road ahead for Second Life.
Philip summarized his message to a backdrop of an abandoned and decrepit  Detrioit home thus (as best I heard it)

		<title>SLCC 2009 &#8211; Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I learned that Linden Lab has reached 320 employees.   For the keynote, Philip Rosedale introduced a certain avatar named Kurzweil Tomorrow who held forth for an hour on this fine futuristic topic in a notably tenor tone.
Today I saw sessions involving reviews of pay rates for virtual-world workers (hint: not good).  Enterprise SL [...]]]></description>

		<title>Second Life Community Convention 2009 &#8211; Day 1</title>

In today&#8217;s workshops, I enjoyed presentations about SL-enhanced educational programs, including scientist-mediated field visits to observe solar eclipses http://tr.im/wnNN and Museum virtual worlds [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenSim Terrain notes, and Darb has Process Credit history!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d read about this, but never before experienced the agony first-hand.  Extracting funds from SL, the wait for funds to arrive at PayPal was a bit slow.  In fact, in the time it took funds to go from Linden to PayPal, a bamboo shoot in my back yard could have grown taller than me (that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
