So this past week has been pretty terrible school-work wise; I haven’t been able to do anything in Second Life. Hopefully I can do a bit over the weekend before Monday, but if not, I think I’ll spend a bit of Thanksgiving break grinding out the more repetitive parts of the visualization design.
I did, however, make an outline for my paper. Except for the introduction, I think it’s pretty good. I more or less based it off my summer powerpoint presentation, and added in a couple things. I really don’t know what to do for the introduction, so if anyone has some clarification info or just general feedback on my outline I’d really appreciate it.
