Creativity and New Media


I downloaded and briefly played through SecondLife to see if I could channel my inner Dwight Shrute and show off the fact that my life was so great I literally wanted a second one. Failing in that, I created an avatar and took some time to explore the SecondLife virtual worlds.  Even though I was a little disappointed with the gaming experience, (SecondLife was too similar to Spore) I took a second to take a screenshot at an area called "New York City, NY". I found it a little strange that someone's image of New York City was a somewhat generic looking movie theatre, instead of a more tourist-centric place, like Times Square. Despite the flaws and cumbersome navigation menus, trying out SecondLife was a unique experience nonetheless.

The second image was taken at a non-descript, but popular "beach" area.
