Change of Plans
After last week's talk with the Tech Museum people, I think I'm intrigued by the possibility of trying to show miniaturization in transistors. Right now, I'm thinking of having large versions of chips in there with visible transistors that might start out as polygons, but as I show newer and newer chips, the transistors become small enough to just be represented by textures. I'm not sure how I'll show how much faster these things operate. Maybe create a calculator or something.

Bartle Test
I took the Bartle Test both as myself and the Second Life avatar, as per the instructions.
In both, I ended up with Explorer as my main drive.

Concepts
So far, for my project I am considering either a world where the player avatar is huge, or the player avatar is very small.
In the world where the player avatar is huge, it might be a place where there are small houses that maybe come up halfway to the avatar's knees. Or I might go with a full-on kaiju thing in which the ground is largely pavement and there are a bunch of skyscrapers and large corporate-looking buildings.
In a world where the player avatar is small, I might try to model a very simple version of a room or two of a house, and the player avatars would maybe scale to about an inch tall, maybe a bit taller.
I'm open to working with other people if their ideas sound interesting to me, too. Maybe there could be a website or posting with the ideas of everyone who feels they want to work together. I certainly wouldn't mind having some help here too, since these could be tricky to pull off.
