Fleep Tuque: This is a video segment
JenzZa Misfit: / we should be seeing it here
Hydra Shaftoe: its looping for me

Prospero Linden: /me can't get the video stream to play....
Bjerkel Eerie: lol
malburns: i have web stream feep - nothing else though
VirtualWorldsNews Writer: tammy: exactly. That was one of my first thoughts as well. Like most of the legal issues surrounding virtual worlds, it's not breaking entirely new ground, but, I think, putting new spin on older issues.
Aimee Breguet: check out preferences and enable streaming video
Veritas Variscan: mine is not paying, either
Veritas Variscan: playing ^

SloanSkjellerup: Chimera, oh, TG you see that too? ... now, did you see the pink elephant, or should I ignore that one?
Michele Mrigesh: /me waves back at Bjorlyn :))

Whatever you text in local chat will be seen in 4 other Metanomics venues, and be seen at our website.

JenzZa Misfit: /*** post your questions right here in open chat ! ****
CeAire Decosta: Fight obesity - get out of these desk chairs!! (No offense!)
Prospero Linden: Heh... my virtual world dancing is way better than my real world dancingb.
Bevan: good job Hydra and Fleep!
Iris Jawetz: hahaha
Bucky Exonar: Ok, my avatar is chugging coffee....I'm chugging water...good to know my online and offline lives are similar
Latha Serevi: I'd like to learn about the Public Good proposals that didn't make the top five. Can I?
JenzZa Misfit: /me has a brother in law who dances like Fred Flintstone --- its not pretty ..trust me
Hydra Shaftoe: I dance great, but as I get older my break dancing is turning into broken dancing,

JenzZa Misfit: Prospero ! I will call you if I need that done ! WOOT! lol
CeAire Decosta: Save that for the 4th of July and fireworks!
JenzZa Misfit: ... behind every avatar .....is an avateer :)
Nany Kayo: I have a question for the guests
Neuron Shepherd: can you post the link please?
Nany Kayo: Hi. This is Nany Kayo with the Native Lands project. The Advocacy voting cycle turned out to be difficult for our project. We have a small team spread very thin right now, trying to advance our project in a very short time with two exhibits, Network Culture and SL5B. We dont have the resources to run a big campaign and produce high quality content that will attract the attention and support we need. The Advocacy voting process turns out to be biased against a smaller team on a larger, very build intensive project, like Native Lands.
Fleep Tuque: I'm really intrigued by the proposals that might serve as a way to preserve or archive historical events that either don't exist anymore in real lfe or are disappearing. Definitely interesting from an educational perspective.
Nany Kayo: like to ask about that
CeAire Decosta: Agreed Fleep!
CeAire Decosta: Hi Bjorlyn!
Bjorlyn Loon: Hi CeAire!
Neuron Shepherd: check out an installment in crosswolds art galle ry
Bjorlyn Loon: hey there Butch
Prospero Linden: /me wonders if those five qualities are really "virtual world gamer" qualities, or early adopter qualities?
Bjorlyn Loon: wow Lots of people here at Rockcliffe
CeAire Decosta: :-)
JenzZa Misfit: ..I am relaying that Nany
Nany Kayo: thank you!
Farqot Gustafson: @Prospero: Or both?
Alaya Kumaki: he s talking fromm the galaxies...sonds like
Fleep Tuque: The link to read more about the proposals AND vote is located at http://networkculture.usc.edu/projects/21-network-culture-projects/61-co...
CeAire Decosta: A few had tech problems so they left..
Paradox Olbers: BJ, 38-42 here in SL at Muse island
Fleep Tuque: The link just to go vote is at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=HxBaM4YaHIkixJAJmtNuNg_3d_3d
Neuron Shepherd: sorry fleep, there's an aazing installment of a family's history in crossworlds gallery
Cindy Ecksol: about 15 here at CN but there were more earlier...
Fleep Tuque: Thanks Neuron, don't think I've seen that. Will try to check it out. :)
Sloan Skjellerup: Hi Life
LifeFactory Writer: Hi Sloan :)
LifeFactory Writer: Nice little party here :)

JenzZa Misfit: **Beyers check IM ****
Draxtor Despres: i would ask both guests the question how is SL positioned versus Flash based games, when it comes to social issue games

Lynn Cullens: we just covered that Widget
Rik Riel: /me is impressed with Beyer's prononciation of my name
Fleep Tuque: Neuron, that link has all of the proposals I mentioned, I don't believe the projects have builds in world yet, that's what the contest is about, to get funding to create them.
Bevan: ty Colonial : -)
JedBlue Wind: Whoever mentioned Flash, the problem with Flash is that it doesnt support 3d applications
Lynn Cullens: tons of links about today's show.... bios of the guests, information about the research you are hearing about now, and also the USC Challenge for the Public Good at the Metanomics Website, archive for today's show: http://www.metanomics.net/Archive062308

Prospero Linden: "grief play"? :)
Hydra Shaftoe: The chatbridge is working at Colonia Nova just fine now
:: Prospero Linden: "grief play"? :)
Hydra Shaftoe: The chatbridge is working at Colonia Nova just fine now
Beyers Sellers: yes
NMC Metanomics Mic: Beyers Sellers: yes
Cindy Ecksol: yep, we should be back...
Tammy Nowotny: I witnessed a griefing attack at SL5B... haven't seen one in months
Neuron Shepherd: Apologies once more - is it me or do the links to the finalists not work?
Lynn Cullens: Neuron, let me check for you
Widget Whiteberry: The applicants /finalists were not told about the learning objectives of Community Challenge. Why not?
Chase Marellan: It's OK, we're back online here.
Chase Marellan: let me know if there are any other issues.
Rik Riel: /is hacker culture the same as griefer culture? I suspect not.
Cindy Ecksol: thanks, chase
Fleep Tuque: Neuro, if you go to http://networkculture.usc.edu/ and click on Projects, the Community Challenge is the first one listed.
Lynn Cullens: you are correct, Neuron... Ill fix that right now
Chase Marellan: My pleasure
Fleep Tuque: (Er sorry, don't know about other links that might point to that page.)
CeAire Decosta: I don't think so Rik in many cases.
Free Radar HUD: /me v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
Neuron Shepherd: thos elinks work, thx to all for help
Prospero Linden: /me also gets a little confused because of the term "Hacker". There's "Hacker = Cracker", people who break into computers, etc, and "Hacker = Experimenter", the people who write Linux kernels or take apart their radios and like to play with how things work and modify them.
Prospero Linden: There is overlap, of course, but they're very different sort of things.
Fleep Tuque: Agreed, Prospero
JenzZa Misfit: exactly , Prospero
Rik Riel: /hacker and griefer culture is about transgression. Crossing lines that aren't supposed to be crossed.
Lynn Cullens: All fixed Neuron!!! and thanks for pointing out my error! =)
JenzZa Misfit: there are slacker hackers and Helpful Hackers !!
JenzZa Misfit: maybe
Prospero Linden: Re: sense of anxiety about things that we don't understand.... all very true! That's why government often gets scary when it comes to new technology, because most people *don't* understand it, and react normally with fear.
JedBlue Wind: Hacker was taken over by the media in 1984 Wargames and it changes its connotations from the original tech geek meaning to something different
Boba Bloch: The pencil (technology) doesn't cause me any anxiety
Hawc Decosta: .-'`'-. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE .-'`'-.

JenzZa Misfit: ***GREAT SHOW EVERYONE !*!*************
Tammy Nowotny: I think the liberal Democrats are the true conservatives (like me)
LifeFactory Writer: agree re: "progressive" instead of "liberal"
Cindy Ecksol: by definition conservatives take a while to catch on to new social trends!
JenzZa Misfit: FLeep ! myriad minded !
Neuron Shepherd: yeah liberal is an American term really
Bevan: define Libertarian in the proper manner please
Lynn Cullens: But dont go yet! More to come!
Hydra Shaftoe: I really should steer clear of the liberals vs conservatives issue in virtual worlds. I didn't get that degree in political science for nothing. You'd NEVER shut me up.
Boba Bloch: In Canada, Liberal is a political party
Widget Whiteberry: COnservatives are here
JimmyJet Fossett: Bob Barr?

Prospero Linden: Newt Gingerich was considered technosavvy back in the 1990s
JenzZa Misfit: I have a newt in my inventory !

Rik Riel: Tori rocks!
Tori Annenberg: Back at you Rik!
Lynn Cullens: be sure to touch a metanomics kiosk and click the kiosk button to get a copy of your own! Put a kiosk on your land to say you love Metanomics!
Fleep Tuque: Tori, I hope my spot was good for describing your project
JenzZa Misfit: *** come back later ::: live music at Muse Isle starting at 5 pm ! ** ROCK THE ARENA ! *** 3 hours or amazing live acoustic rock ***
Chimera Cosmos: republocrats?
SloanSkjellerup: Holy cow, I'm a crash Dummy today
Fleep Tuque: I cribbed from your site. :)
Bjorlyn Loon: And we will be getting up web pages for each event partner later this week! THANK YOU METANOMICS EVENT PARTNERS!
JimmyJet Fossett: Techies are generally a bit more lib I think, based on longtime spent in sector. And yes Libertarian may be somewhat accurate
Cindy Ecksol: oh, right, kiosks...metanomics kiosks are located right outside the exits here at CN
Hydra Shaftoe: I'll be putting bits of gaming news up on Twitter. Yall feel free to follow me there. I'm "hydravelsen"
Rik Riel: Fleep you did a great rundown. very impressed
CeAire Decosta: LOL Sloan!
Fleep Tuque: Thanks Rik! Little nervous being the first time
SloanSkjellerup: I missed the end, but loaved what I saw .... Good job guys!
Bjorlyn Loon: and I think they disappeared here, let me put one down at Rockcliffe
CeAire Decosta: It ran very smoothly!
Chimera Cosmos: in some countries the liberals are conservative
JenzZa Misfit: GAHHHHHHHH
Bjorlyn Loon: up on the stage is a kiosk
Neuron Shepherd: slaves!
Bjorlyn Loon: for those at Rockcliffe
Prospero Linden: You can make it look bad from the liberal POV if you want to... e.g. it takes a fairly expensive computer to really run SL well, many of the women in world are dressed in a "sexy" manner -- is that exploitation?
Frans Tomsen: see you all, tx for joining
Prospero Linden: Re: expensive computer, it makes it elitist, etc.
Paradox Olbers: Saturn-V sponsorship eBay auction ends tomorrow for Spaceflight Museum! http://spindriftisland.wordpress.com/2008/06/22/auction-ends-tues-noon-s...
JimmyJet Fossett: Saw Forterra demo the other day and they can have child Avs because a more protected environment
Prospero Linden: If you want to spin things to look bad to any preconceived set of notions, you can always do it :)
malburns: e all - tha
Doctor Ludovico: Yeah but those points of view tend not to result in bans and laws being passed trampling the first amendment
JenzZa Misfit: /me kind of thinks its best to follow a real life appropriate public behavior policy .... but I am odd like that !!
Bjorlyn Loon: Hey SLoan, great to see you.
Prospero Linden: JenzZa : in that behavior policy : what about being in a furry avatar?
Sloan Skjellerup: well, THAT was fun!
Lynn Cullens: I remember back in the day, when Sloan introduced me to Chase and ChatBridge.... =)
Chimera Cosmos: like TPing or egging houses in RL
Doctor Ludovico: But they often do that by exploiting the technology or pushing its limits
JenzZa Misfit: as long as the furry isnt lewd / sporting body parts that should be covered / lol / .... etc ... and courteous to others ... and then people argue that its an animal exploitation thing ....so ... I DUNNO !!
Delia Lake: thanks again Cindy
Mr Koolaid "Grape" CLICK FOR A GLASS!!: Have a Glass of Koolaid Share Svoboda
Glass of Koolaid: Koolaid, ahhh!
Prospero Linden: JenzZa : I guess that virtual worlds give us much more morphological freedom than the real world does, so as such I'm not sure it really makes sense to have "accepted behavior" be limited by the real world limitations, which implicitly are based on the limitations of the real world.
JimmyJet Fossett: But they might bring electrical grids and other infrastructure down in the future.
Glass of Koolaid: Koolaid, ahhh!
Prospero Linden: "Terrorism" is often used as a label for "things that I don't like and want t drum up support against".....
Fleep Tuque: I must run, thanks all for great show. :)
JenzZa Misfit: true Prospero and yet .... big 500 companies have policy on most of this ---- and its not about species * lol * as much as it is behaviour towards others and decency I guess
CeAire Decosta: Yes, if you fly in RL - you could hit electrical lines and blow the grid!
Prospero Linden: Yeah
Chimera Cosmos: oh no!
Chimera Cosmos: say it ain't so!
JenzZa Misfit: this IS my day job !!
Bjorlyn Loon: Thanks Rik and Doug!
JenzZa Misfit: day / night / midnight / next day / every day / etc
Prospero Linden: I guess what I'd like to see is a general statement of principles -- behavior towards others and decency being great places to start -- and then figure out how it applies to each world separately.
JimmyJet Fossett: Thanks Rik
TaraYeats: Jenzza - an "animal exploitation" assertion re: furries sounds like a serious overdose of political correctness to me
Neuron Shepherd: yep chimera that's what causes crashes
JenzZa Misfit: good plan Prospero !
Chimera Cosmos: goood JenzZa--someone has to hold down the fort lol
JenzZa Misfit: can I put you down to head up that committee ??
CeAire Decosta: The Golden Rule always applies - if people follow it.
JenzZa Misfit: Tara .... dont shoot the messenger :)
