A Bad Case of Happy Feet

Though I am suffering from post-conference burnout, I have a lot of things (good and bad) to share from both the SLOAN-C ALN conference in Orlando and SUNY's TLT conference in Poughkeepsie. But first, let's start with an anecdote from the bar...aren't bars where we really learn everything we need to know in life, anyway? Why else was Coach such a paragon of wisdom on Cheers? Anywho...

Everyone has a newbie experience in Second Life; most simply report the confusion of dropping naked into Orientation Island, or walking into walls, & c. But my colleague Clark Sakai...ah, Clark has the best tale of all. He recounted it to us at the bar, of course, and my new found friend David/John from the Open University of the UK and I tried to retell the tale to others, but there was a distinct kinethestic element involved in the telling of the tale...so Clark, uber nerd that he is, has retold the story in video. Watch and learn, my children:

Of course, what seems to be missing from this machinima retelling is the lap dance. Where is the lap dance, Clark?
