...and the (random) hits just keep on coming...

There have been a few articles to catch my attention this week. I thought I'd add links & follow up later with a brief comment or assessment.

First, I caught wind (gotta love Twitter) of an update to Fleep's Deep Thoughts, a blog by Chris Collins, aka Fleep Tuque in SL and *many* other SocNet venues. This post "Essayish: Traditional Learning Spaces in Virtual Worlds" is still under development, but provides a sense of Fleep's ability to analyze and comment of issues of interest to me and, I think, many who are interested in education virtual worlds.

Next up, an article in Campus Technology, "Idaho State Simulates Emergency Response in Second Life". This ties in quite well, I think with some of the uses we've been discussing in the Houston Serious Games Consortium.

Finally, while I try not to get political, here's an analysis from e-week of the voting patterns of the three presidential candidates regarding issues important to the IT sector. The voting records cited in "Clinton, Obama and McCain Vote For/Against Tech" break along age lines as one might expect.
No real surprises, but interesting nonetheless.
