the one-hundred-and-fifteenth episode of ventriloquy introduces my most recent project in Second Life: the Raymaker Marine Environments Centre at Sky Island Bay.
in this 2.1 MB download, i take the opportunity to outline the potential for powerful and novel partnerships to be made beyond Communities of Practice within which we might be comfortable.
the construction of the Raymaker Marine Environments Centre at Sky Island Bay also afforded me the opportunity to fulfil a childhood dream - one that i have cherished ever since i first read Flight 714 - namely, to build an airstrip on an island :-)
alas, no one has yet built a Carreidas 160 in Second Life, so - for now, at least - i am contenting myself with a two-seat personal jet with the best aeronautical physics available - the Valen V-1 Nimbus.
the Carreidas 160 - brainchild of Laszlo Carreidas

[update 1: the airstrip was closed on 26 May 2008
