Machinima - uses for libraries?

Have any libraries used machinima to promote a service or conduct training?

I became aware of machinima recently, as friends are part of a new series, Frank and Dale based on Company of Heroes.

Some further discussion of machinima is at the Rambling Librarian.

Party preparations - meetup?

Is anyone interested in meeting up in SL at the Australian libraries building to experiment with what we’ll do for the LINTy party on 13th December? Everyone welcome.

I’m thinking of :

  • Wednesday 6 December
  • 6pm - 8pm Western Australian time….I believe this is 8pm - 10pm Eastern States time, as we are now on daylight savings.

Haypatia made the most wonderful avenue of torches outside the Australian Libraries building last week. I’ve found some sparklers and whistles. Wear them on your av. and you randomly blow the whistle. Funny to watch.

.
I’d like to experiment with food and drink, as some alcoholic beverages can make your av. fall over and do sillly things. We have a disco dance floor we can put out also. I don’t know how to dance yet. I’d like to check out boring old prim limits too.

By the way, does anyone know anything about the Model T Ford that was parked outside the buidling this morning?
