DeadheadDMT Infinity

In 2007, I discovered SecondLife (SL) from watching a TV documentary on how modern day online relationships are evolving into Real Life (RL) relationships and they used SL as an example for this one hour special. When it was over, I went on line about 9 pm and downloaded the program.... the next thing I knew it was 3 am and I was hopelessly, happily addicted. My first 3 weeks in SL was class mania..... During that time I went to: 46 building classes, 15 scripting classes, 3 external graphics programs classes, 2 animations classes, 2 clothes classes, 3 SL system and behavioral classes and possibly 2 or 3 more that I just can't remember right now... but definitely a well rounded understanding of things that make SL what it is. My RL experiences in IT Systems Analysis, Programming, and Electronic Engineering made SL classes easy for me to pick up and understand. I was in a class that was teaching us how to make a caterpillar smoking a hookah on a mushroom. While I was doing the build, I got a chat message from a guy named Hempz, and wanted to know if I was interested in teaching a class myself at different school where he was also a teacher... I said sure, and soon became a teacher with a SL school called "TUi"... I was now "DeadheadDMT Infinity - TEACHER" and the story begins. My classes were/are immersive and my Holodeck Emitter System (HES) class was so popular it would fill up the available 16 seats in only 30 seconds after the class opening was announced. I had to lower invisible walls down when the class was full to keep the others from crowding the room. Some of them had been waiting in the school lobby an hour before the class location was revealed. I felt like a Rock Star. I have a number of classes that are successful as well, but the HES class definitely is the crowd favorite. TUi eventually collasped and I moved on to a school called "ICE" ... It too eventually collapsed and now I have my own "DMT University". Also in SL, I developed my musical personae "Mr. Psychedelic" and I have the pleasure of holding the SL record for the most cover songs played by any individual or group performer. I have played over 650 different songs while in concert as Mr. P in SL. My stage designs were/are distinctive and unique... I have designed over 22 separate stages for Mr. P including a Stonehenge scene, Space Invader scene, Aquarium scene, Toy Room scene, etc... You never know what decor lays behind the curtains of a Mr. P concert. I have also created stage designs for other performers & groups. While the DMT University is a work in progress, I also have a number of other projects in SL like my "Grateful Dead-Opoly Game" which is a life size board game based on the Monopoly game but instead of trading Real Estate, the players trade Concert Tapes from each of the board game cities. Walk around the board or ride on floating pillows around the game board. I also am working on a "4D Chess Set" which is chess played on a hypercube with new rules for traveling around the edge or through the center... I am also working on a "Medical/Surgical Student Training Unit" which is a study aid unit for medical/surgical students. The first section quizzes and teaches "Surgical Instrument Identification"... the second section quizzes on "Surgical Tray Setup"... and the 3rd section is for doctors and allows a patient to be probed for temperature, heart rates, breathing, etc. after which the student doctor must diagnose the patient's ailment. There are other projects too, like studies in "Nanobot Engine Development". Offshoots from my HES class are a "Holodeck Controlled Science Museum", "Holodeck Apartments", and a "Metamorphic DJ Dance Club" All of these and more are at the 2 parcels I manage. Granada is G rated and contains Educational projects as well as "DMT University", "The TEACH PEACE PROJECT Headquarters", and several art & science Museums. Plenodyes is M rated and and contains Entertainment projects like the "Dinner Table Comedy Club", "Outdoor Music Arena", "Sky Carnival", and other works in progress... Overall.... SL is MY KIND OF PLACE!!! I can use it as my own private 3D laboratory to play mad scientist in, or go wild and crazy creating new and fun classes that teach both SL skills and RL knowledges... Stop by some time!!! TEACH PEACE!!!
