Get a First Life: A One Page Satire of Second Life

Get a First Life: A One Page Satire of Second Life:

"Got First Life Questions?
We've Got Answers
Are five senses enough?

What's this body thing, and what do I do with the dangly bits?

Why can't I build a dirigible with my mind?

Penguins, spoons and you -- what's life like among the flightless?"

Monster's Virtual Interviews

We'll have a look at this together... RSN.

james
"Tech Virtual Interview
Welcome to the Technology Virtual Interview. Whether you�re a Java genius or a seasoned systems administrator, you can always use some practice before your next job interview. We�ve got questions ranging from puffball to killer that are typically asked of candidates in the technology field. This interactive section gives you the opportunity to test your answers without jeopardizing your chances of landing that sweet job you�re interviewing for. After a few practice runs with us, you�ll be ready for the real thing. You'll be able to engage in a meaningful exchange rather than grope for a clumsy comeback. Think of it as QA for your career."

PowerGramo-The Recorder for Skype

PowerGramo-The Recorder for Skype

this basic program for skype is free and works on WindowsXP.
It's probably easier to use than Audacity for the recording part! And you'll get better quality than the low-tech solutions we've seen so far!

have a good week!

PS: Don't forget to go to Cabaret! hummm... maybe (with a little written summary/critique) attending Cabaret could count for a missed class.

You get 25 cents of CallOut credit, which is 25 minutes of calls in the US. It doesn't show up in your account immediately, however. Give it 3 business days, as it seems to be a manual process.
