A multimedia performance/investigation into the strange phenomenon of a woman discovering that all her activities are posted online, just moments *before they happen . . .

Shepard Fairey-inspired mashups.  Make one of your own!

AC/DC/Excel

AC/DC have created a music video completely using Excel spreadsheets. And it's actually good! Must be seen to be appreciated: link to video on YouTube

Avatar Romance

My iGoogle movie is up!  Called Avatar Romance, it's about a virtual triangle involving two avatars and Facebook.  It's a dynamic theme on iGoogle, the banner image changes every hour to the next episode in the story; there are 12 episodes.

To add the theme, click here.

It was created as a new media piece, and ideally should be viewed on iGoogle over the course of a day.  But it's also a comic strip for a less tech-intensive version. The comic is here: www.peggynelson.com/avatar.

"Dear John" letter to Facebook

Dear Facebook,

We need to talk.

I am breaking up with you.  Things just aren't working out.  I don't like who I am when I am with you; unfortunately, you bring out the worst in me.  You do have some good features, it's true.  But we are going in different directions. 

I could say that it's not you, it's me, but it is you, too.  You definitely have some problems, I hope you get some help.

I know breaking up by blog is lame, but I need to communicate with you in a way you understand.  I would say that I wish you the best, but I am not entirely sure that I do, so I will not say it. 

I took all my stuff back; I deleted your photos and erased all your messages.  Please do not try to contact me again. 

Sincerely,
My Avatar

Inventory Folder

Contents of apartment:

Air mattress
Card table
Computer
Self

At some point I will have to take everything out of Inventory (in RL, my storage unit) and rez it in-world.  As soon as I decide on a world.  Which hasn't happened yet.
