I read a couple of the "Psyche" blogs - one in particular about a stay in a Thai monestary, "trying" on Buddhism. I found myself smiling and identifying with the counter-culture streak of being ambiguously spiritual. I'll definitely check it out again! :)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967358553987921023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485285597118810468.post-39765767815769377412008-05-02T17:49:00.000-07:002008-05-02T17:49:00.000-07:00This is actually really interesting.

This also reminds me of what we talked about on the first day of class- publics. Clearly, this site supports becoming a part of the online public and encourages individuals to express their opinions and thoughts. Some of these posts are quite fascinating and it is intriguing to see how strongly someone can feel about a certain topic. It almost resembles passion. Relating this to what we are doing in class, it makes me think of my prejudgment of Second Life users. To be quite honest, I first thought of Second Life users as people who did not have interesting real lives and felt the need to create a virtual world. However, like anyone else, including the users of the posts posts on Reality Sandwich and Second Life users, individuals have passions. These passions tend to manifest both time and effort, and I now have a better understanding and appreciation for the contributions and choices of others.Anita Vohrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849098584686974570noreply@blogger.com
