Book lover/bird lady avatar!

It was fun to create my own avatar from Tektek, although it is a little corny (I tried DoppelMe as well, and thought those avatars were cornier).

I am pleased to find out that my alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, offers a four-week course about Virtual World Librarianship in Second Life. I have always been extremely proud that I obtained my M.S. in Library Science from their Graduate School of Library and Information Science, consistently ranked as #1 in the country throughout the years!

It was fun to watch videos of the Second Life world - some of them were quite good!

What do I think about our virtual selves vs. our “real” selves? I think we need to spend more time with the latter, not the former.

Do I already live in Second Life? No.
Would I like to live in Second Life? No.
Why not? See my answer above concerning our virtual selves vs. our "real" selves.
I'm sorry, but a Second Life world just doesn't interest me - I'd rather live in the real one.
