If they can go after after teachers, librarians, election clerks, nurses, and disaster relief workers, eventually they'll go after whatever it is you are, too.

Wierd Question: I was taught and certified to give CPR in health class in school. Was it just us? Or did more people get that in their health classes?

If so, do they still teach it?

I'm not certified anymore - but I remember how to do it if I needed to.

This thought brought to you by a wierd sitcom scene where no one knew CPR.

In the end, they only used the five trees made instead of scattering them around the forest, but they're one of the first things you "see" when you jump in world. If you're in , check out "Creator Jam 281 - Silent Spring." Say "Hi" to the trees. The don't get much company....

Despite opening it up for folks to be trees, only one person took me up on the offer, and so we have a dragon tree as well. A lot of people seemed to like the concept, though, and through both building sessions (I only go to the first, but watch the second), it had a lot of people talking. Really felt part of the jam, and proud of my work.

So why was I making the People Trees? Creator Jam had a theme this week of "Things that Look Normal Until You Get Close."

When I was working on the "people trees" for the Creator Jam the other night, I'd spawn out a copy of my own avatar in a pose. The eyes follow you, too, so before I recolored her to match the tree, I kept getting "CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS OVER WITH?" vibes from the copy.

I have burned off my groceries a little TOO quick. But today at least I'm eating good. Minimal grocery run tonight.

Spent five hours in Resonite tonight making some "beautiful from afar but terrible up close" stuff for tonights Creator Jam. One of the few times I really felt like I belonged in that group. And we had a blast afterwards just hanging out telling stories and sharing stuff.
Good times. Cant wait to see the VR World they make out of my stuff as well as everyone elses fairly disturbing stuff.

Hey, all.

Due to a series of payment issues, I'm running low on funds and have about a week of cash on hand to pay bills. If you can help, I would very much appreciate it.

I have a Paypal you can donate to at the bottom of my website (where it says Please Donate). I could really use the help.
