Hiya at risk of getting drowned out by the latest casino issue i'm gonna post this anyhow and hope it doesn't sink too fast. I have been assembling a newspaper for about 2 months now (yeah i'm slow ...) as yet another SL hobby and its going to take the form of a tabloid or so I hope. It will also be published ingame Anyhow I have a column similar to "dear abby" called "ask Brenda" which will be written by Brenda Connolly she agreed to this awhile ago so she's being really patient with me lol like I think I asked her to do this about a month and a half ago. Anyhow I was hoping that people would be interested in posting some questions for her to answer but the answers will be published not here but in the newspaper. The paper will be an inworld publication cause I hate pdf format hehe. Anyhow please post your questions here and I will hopefuly have a small collection of questions for her to answer for the first edition (which will be free by the way and like have no ads unless in the future someone wants to sponsor it but its not going to be a commercial publication really ) questions can be anything like "how do i get this box of my hand?" to "Brenda my boyfriend thinks I"m fat what do I do?" Please limit this to SL stuff and I can't guarantee that her answers will be that informative but i'm sure they will be funny lol Anyhow please help a geek out? newspaper name will be revealed at the same time as the published answers  |

I don't have a question, but perhaps a suggestion.
Instead of posting here, why not have them send Brenda the questions on notecards (so she doesn't lose them in IM caps or crashes).
Starting a few here to get you going might be a good idea, but then take them from your readers.
And good luck ^.^

I'm going to amend this. Pay attention Willy. You can ask the questions here if you wish, but PM 's are also accepted. And apologies to my editor...but questions on ANY topic will be accepted, don't be shy. I did this on another forum and it was a lot of fun.
EDIT: Jessica is correct. Notecards are also a good idea.

From: Sally Silvera Do penguins wear high heels?
Do hippos like popcorn? Yes but only on special occasions as it damages their ankles Hippos no longer eat popcorn as it caused excessive farting and the crocodiles complained saying "if they'd wanted a jacussi instead of a watering hole they'd have asked for a jacussi instead of a watering hole". I bet Wilhelm's regretting starting this thread now  |

Anyhow I was hoping that people would be interested in posting some questions for her to answer but the answers will be published not here but in the newspaper. The paper will be an inworld publication cause I hate pdf format hehe.
There's a reason PDF is so popular. I've looked at another in-world publication, and couldn't get past the first issue, as much as I wanted to see it succeed. The problem is that nothing in-world both keeps up with my reading speed and presents a pleasant, easy-to-read typeface. Notecards are the only things that come close, and they just don't cut it. Of course, I've also seen online publications in PDF that I can't tolerate. That's typically when they insist on using layout suitable for a print magazine, which simply doesn't work on a monitor. Screen space gets wasted, skimming is harder, presentation tends to outshine content. I'm too environmentally conscious, and too cheap to print ouot such magazines. So I ignore those, too, unless someone points me at a specific article. |

I have a question actually ...
Are you still looking for contributors? My writing skills are going to waste here in the metaverse, luring me off into other things I am better not doing. Like trying to make hair.

Help me Brenda, for I have sinned. It has been forever since my last confession and I have fallen in love with a noob. Should I openly attest my love for this noob, who all my friends poke fun at, or should I drop him like the skin of yesteryear. What do I do?
Love, Nova Plaid, and a pink ridding crop,
Jez

From: Wilhelm Neumann How do people come up with such questions? Well... The creation of such questions is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations between existing ideas or concepts. From a scientific point of view, the products of creative thought (sometimes referred to as divergent thought) are usually considered to have both ‘originality and appropriateness’. An alternative, more everyday conception of creativity is that it is 'simply the act of making something new'. Although intuitively a simple phenomenon, the creation of such questions is in fact quite complex. It has been studied from the perspectives of behavioural psychology, social psychology, psychometrics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, history, economics, design research, business, and management, among others. The studies have covered everyday creativity, exceptional creativity and even artificial creativity. Unlike many phenomena in science, there is no single, authoritative perspective or definition of creativity. Unlike many phenomena in psychology, there is no standardized measurement technique. So in short..we don’t know...oh sorry I see you didn't want to know iether...oops! |
