While I see enormous potential in virtual worlds like Second Life, I work so much in front of a computer that any time away from the screen is most welcome. But for those who could not physically visit a location, but need information, a virtual library would be more welcoming than just a regular internet catalog interface.
A SL Library Location could be a neat place to hold book clubs, or virtual classes for those that have trouble traveling.
Nick M's intro video for Second Life is hilarious and informative. I look forward to seeing more from him.

My student passed her Citizenship Exam
I guess this means I am the real deal. The United States administered a test to one of my students, and she passed with flying colors.
I am trying to get her to participate in the Orlando Memory program. We shall see.

I will be performing at Herndon in November
Yo. Its happening for probably the first and only time...... I will perform as
D003Y D3C1MAL in the library, at Herndon. I have always been relectant to do this in the past, but now I feel the time is right.
On Monday, November 3rd I will perform during the art show for Donna Surles at Herndon.
She is a patron who I have come to know over my last few years at the branch. I introduced her to Booker so she could get her work up.
If you don't know, I rap about nerdy stuff, with books being my primary subject matter. I just have to try and clean up my flow so it is appropo for the Bibliotequa.

Music in the library- *inspiration*
Today at Herndon was a good day. Saturdays are busy and the time flows quickly, much to my delight.
While on the floor, I noticed that there was a young man in our laptop area working on music. He had a midi controller attached to his computer. I introduced myself and asked what he was up to. He said that he came to the library to compose because he liked working in different spaces, and our environment was an inspiration to him.
This made me so happy. Being a musician, I understand where he is coming from. I am stoked that we can provide a place for him to be creative. To me, this is the heart of what the library is all about.
