Woohoo! Very excited to be welcoming the gang from Rockcliffe to jokaydiaGRID today! Can’t wait to see what they get up to on their vast 12 sim estate! ;)

Great to see the Compugirls getting straight into learning with some advanced Prim Bending! Way to go geekgirls! ;)

Carlos has made an awesome ancient learning space on the Eretz Tova estate @ jokaydiaGRID!

Woohoo! The boxes and packed and the sim is built! Looking forward to the first sessions with the Compugirls @ jokaydiaGRID today! Yay!

From their Website:

CompuGirls is one of a few programs in the nation to provide girls access to technology and the internet they might not have otherwise as well as peer support, which makes learning easier.

CompuGirls is a culturally relevant technology program for adolescent (grades 8-12) girls from under-resourced school districts in the Greater Phoenix area and in Colorado. Supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, CompuGirls provides fun summer and after-school classes where participants learn the latest technologies in digital media, games, and virtual worlds.

GeekGirls FTW!

Ooo look.. we have a Christmas tradition! ;) Having lotsa fun with the lil miners today making Santaland 2012! Can’t wait to see what the kids create here in the coming weeks!

oh and Merry Xmas from Kris Kreeper by Punk and Jo!

Every now and then, the little miners blow my mind with how they apply the things they are seeing and doing in the real world to their work in the mines.

Check out the awesum project 9bear9 has created for the community…. a Voting station! ;)

[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> take a guess what this is
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> not that way jo
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> a voting station! ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> :P somewhat
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> hehehe coool
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> poll sounds more… less stressy more funny
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> :D
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> okay my idea is
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> is that after every open day ends, we have the miners who participated to help
[Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> write a book on how to make it more awesome
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> also
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> That’s a great idea ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> We have you self select the best ideas
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> then the days after
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> we have a world wide mm poll
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> So peeps can vote on new stuff.. that’s a great idea
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> and yes.. i think it needs to be in massively near the castle ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> okay may i eplain positions?
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> of course ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> here would stand I hope, a npc whos inventory we can acsess
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> so the miners can toss their ideas over (i forgot to mention)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> they write their ideas in a book
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> hrrrm yes doable… but i’ll have to update citizens i think
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> and then voting official will take them
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> go in here
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> and count them
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> I even have a answer system
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> ooo go you!
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> based on paul revere
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> except
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> 1 lamp turned on is No, 2 lamps yes
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> You know what is cool about this…. it will help kids learn about voting and democracy too! ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> if they are off, and not moving
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> there is no poll in action
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> if they are, then there is
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> oo clever system ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> this is THEE FIRST POLL
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> Yes, or no democracy
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> very cool! i think you need to write a guild post about this too ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> :D
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> but one more thing
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> and i think its very likely worth a Miner’s Award Level 5 … for making something COOL for the community!
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> instead of having a “charter” could we have the Constitution Of Jokaydia
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> and we have ammendments stuff?
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> Hrrrm well in a way the charter is a constitution…
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> true, but im just suggesting we rename it
[Endywood][MassivelyModerator] ~jo> hrrrm have to think about that.. but we could have a miner’s congress mebbe ;)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> :D
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> okay now here is another thing
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> we
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> have an electoral college
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> so whereever a miners home is
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> (what world)
[Endywood][Navigator] ~Timelord_9bear9> that is their electors

An awesum bug on the MASD 54 Sim @ jokaydiaGRID!

Natbott is one of the epic Server Admins on the Project Mist Server, and he’s just starting to find his virtual feet at jokaydiaGRID too!

Here we are having a wing-making lesson … because every avatar needs cool wings and a halo, right!? ;)

[08:54 PM] Jokay Wollongong: your chest?

[08:54 PM] Nathaniel Bott: spine I think

[08:54 PM] Nathaniel Bott: yeah

[08:54 PM] Jokay Wollongong: cool. spine or chest = perfect

[08:55 PM] Nathaniel Bott: they’re amazing :P

[08:56 PM] Nathaniel Bott: I’m a rollerskating suited angel!

[08:56 PM] Nathaniel Bott: :P

[08:56 PM] Jokay Wollongong: There ya go.. thats pretty close

[08:56 PM] Jokay Wollongong: you can move it around to get it perfecto ;)

[08:57 PM] Nathaniel Bott: I like the camera controls on these stands, great for zooming out and looking at my house

[08:57 PM] Jokay Wollongong: and you need a halo! ;P

Its Server Update Saturday on the Project Mist Server! Check out our online learning environment above … because thumping trees can teach you server admin skills! ;)

As usual the guys are displaying epic skills and team work and need very little help from me. Well done to Falconcadet and Natbott97 – super smooth update process ftw!
