I tried looking it up hoping to maybe find something from some insignificant site but didn't find anything except a seafood restaurant in Nantucket.

is that the second life thing?

I saw that too and wondered the same.

Yeah I was hoping they were going to make a special announcement about a new project or something.

I think it was something refering to that game "Second Life".

wow this thread is funny **** haha

yeah it's a massive multiplayer game that people (read "nerds") can play. it's free and basically allows you to create a character in a virtual world. many large companies have been advertising in it. never played it but apparently it's pretty damn popular.

Woooooow. Talk about a letdown.

lol, yep see my last post

I checked it out and it is kind of cool. Altgeld is done pretty well, and I believe there was a group of students with a teacher having a class. I stepped in and listened for a while.

I believe so.

Actually looking at that NIU site... this was the class:

Quote:Jessamine Cooke-Plagwitz, FLTE 591 - Integrating Technology into the Foreign Language Curriculum

Kind of funny that I could just walk in and interrupt. I kept quiet though.
