Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

A friend forwarded this article to me. I’m not a Second Life player, but I am interested in heritage preservation. I can’t seem to find a direct contact to Duuya Herbst so I thought I would try here. A couple of years ago I directed a project that was a 3D recreation of the Casqui villiage at what is now Parkin, Arkansas. We created the life of a night guard. The aniamated movie is only a few mins long, but we are interested in doing more 3D projects. It would be interesting and important to create something that preserves and educates, but with online interaction so that we can access a new genre. Here’s the url for the project: http://www.cast.uark.edu/cast/crate/project2002/movie/index.htm The article was great.

Anony, the Gridverse is indeed transient, but for all that it is particularly good at preserving and distributing information. It thus has some value in the preservation of certain aspects of language, linguistic practice, and cultural lore.

Thanks for the comments Also the whole idea of preserving is really just in the language, and the name. Deeni will become whatever it becomes and what its members decide to take it. I’ll be hosting a few events to gettin some awareness out about it, and membership is open just talk to an officer or a member for more info.

Again thank you for the comments I really appreciate the time you take to write me. If I’m ingame feel free to stop by Tav and pay us a visit.

Great article and intriguing subject matter. I’m glad Duuya was interested in sharing his story.

Unfortunately the gridverse is even more volatile and transient than real life, so using it as a way to “preserve” something would seem folly.

Some things I’d like to express:

-I got a weird but good vibe of the “Phyles” from Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age.

-I thoroughly enjoyed this article, Neal. And I’d be saying that EVEN if I didn’t know you… really well-written and it made me smile.

-SO cool that Duuya and Deeni are in the same neighborhood as Rick & Ariel! w00t Hammerheads… LOL… fun to fly, those things! (One of my fave SL vehicles, period.) HAHAHA… booyeah! In some ways it is a culture clash but that juxtaposition is what makes it so visceral and fascinating to me.

-What really, *really* got me is what Duuya said about community and about keeping cherished traditions and heritage history alive in the gridverse. It’s amazing to me — these connections… we might as well be advancing our technotribes, and actually, not only preserving but progressing our pasts into our future here!!
