Twinity

Another virtual world is now developed. Still in beta, so that gave me the possibility to sign up for a free account. I had just enough time to sign up, install the client and look around in the welcome area. I edited my avatar, and, of course, I had to take a few snapshots.

Now it still looks less sophisticated than Second Life, but who knows what beautiful things can happen in the future.

  • The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge

    Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns. As an artist chooses colours or light to make her pictures, a master of shih chooses textures of knowledge – various ideas, myths, abstractions, and theories – to create a way of seeing the world. The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.

    – David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993

  • Geek Attitude

    The attitude thing is about flexibility, portability, creativity, sociability and jamming (ran out of suitable “ity” words!). It’s about improvising – in the practical and musical senses of the word; not getting tangled in boundaries and the “right” way to do things.
    Definitely the only way to travel.
