2011.12.18 07:00 - People can Arrive from any Direction

The Guardian for this meeting was Adams Rubble. The comments are by Adams Rubble.

At the beginning Steve and I discusssed a fanciful building for PaB in RL.  I was surprised to find the Pagoda met Steve's idea for a RL structure in a field where "people can arrive from any direction". Later as more people arrived, the conversation moved around a bit.

stevenaia Michinaga: hello Adams
Adams Rubble: Hello Stevenaia :)
Adams Rubble: I was walking through the village the otehr day and sat down at your drawing board
stevenaia Michinaga: gtsy
stevenaia Michinaga: was I there, I sometimes park myself there
Adams Rubble: It made me start to thinking :)
Adams Rubble: no I was there alone that day
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: If you were asked design a building for PaB in real life, what would you do
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, images before you are always a good place to think
Adams Rubble: (it is a great desk btw)
stevenaia Michinaga: well this is such an iconic structure,
stevenaia Michinaga: thanks, I find the desk quite comfy
Adams Rubble: yes, not practical even for California weather
Adams Rubble: or earthquakes
stevenaia Michinaga: this is the third meeting place got Pab, it's a very adaptable group, fitting in a number of environments
Adams Rubble nods
Adams Rubble: a cabin, a pavilion and then a symbolic structure
stevenaia Michinaga: actually it is very close to a pergota in Japantown in Sanfrancisco that I remember when I stayed there , not in the retreat but another time
Adams Rubble: hmmm, did not know that
stevenaia Michinaga: I think an open or semi-open stucture of any sort will do
Adams Rubble: so you would stick to open even in RL?
stevenaia Michinaga: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl...=0CAwQnwIoAjAN
stevenaia Michinaga: open on the sides in a field as perple can arrive from any direction, both in RL and metaphorically
stevenaia Michinaga: *people
Adams Rubble: thank you for the picture. That reminds me that pagodas are built in Japan too
Adams Rubble: but they have a heavy central spine unlike the PaB structure
stevenaia Michinaga: I get such a different feeling when we meet next door for our weekely guardian meetings with a door and a one directional enry
Adams Rubble: nice thought about people entering from all sides
stevenaia Michinaga: yes our open top allows me to fly up when I leave :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: I went up two weeks ago when nobody came
stevenaia Michinaga: up?
stevenaia Michinaga: through the centerrrr
Adams Rubble: up into the rafters
Adams Rubble: I went up the side
Adams Rubble: walked on the roof
stevenaia Michinaga: I've had some nice sessions on the roof here too
Adams Rubble: but got to high and the autologger shut off :)
Adams Rubble: Hello Arch :)
stevenaia Michinaga: when I felt somewhat contrarian
Adams Rubble: hehe
stevenaia Michinaga: yes the top is jsut about out of listening range too
Adams Rubble: definitely is
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Archmage
stevenaia Michinaga: it seems someone needs to be wearing their guardian tag or the logger goes off
Adams Rubble: I had on my tag
Archmage Atlantis: Being contrarion
Adams Rubble: but went up one more level and it clicked off
Archmage Atlantis: and spelling poorly
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, Aph left last night and the logger turned off
Archmage Atlantis: my speciatlties
Adams Rubble: Hell Tess :)
Tess Aristocrat: hello ㋡
stevenaia Michinaga: I used to caht, not here with someone who dispised poor speeling, he could never get past it
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: it is often not spelling but typing
stevenaia Michinaga: all content was lost, it was only abut correct spelling
stevenaia Michinaga: as you can imaginge, he never got along with me
Archmage Atlantis: Today, my hands are working ..... so I know it is spelling
Adams Rubble: I imgine he had a difficult time in SL in general unless he only used voice
stevenaia Michinaga: was before SL
Archmage Atlantis: Some days my brain works, but my hands don't
stevenaia Michinaga: (BSL)
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Tess
Archmage Atlantis: Some days my hands work and my brain doesn't
Tess Aristocrat: does anyone ever have the short circuit where you type a 'd' but a 'k' comes out?
Archmage Atlantis: Some days nothing in this 3-D world works
Tess Aristocrat giggles
Adams Rubble: some keyboards have a key that wewires them
stevenaia Michinaga: but they are on opposite sides of the feyboard, Tess
Adams Rubble: then strange things happen
stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm so is the f and k, nevemind
Tess Aristocrat: its the other middle finger..
Tess Aristocrat: it happens sometimes
Tess Aristocrat: left brain/right brain
--BELL--

Archmage Atlantis: likes "typonese"
Archmage Atlantis: Where is the Facebook button in here for "like"
Tess Aristocrat: have you ever read that paragraph where many letters are mssing frm the words ad yet you undrstd wht you'r rdng?
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
stevenaia Michinaga: I wrote it
Adams Rubble: hehe

Archmage Atlantis: Hasta luego Druthie
stevenaia Michinaga: I must be off, good to see you all
druth Vlodovic: not staying for the meeting?
Adams Rubble: Nice to see you too Steve :)
Adams Rubble: like Superman
Tess Aristocrat: Has anyone seen the commercials for the One-piece outfits that are modeled after the 'snuggie' blanket?
druth Vlodovic: hi bruce
Tess Aristocrat: Bruce!
Bruce Mowbray: Hi, druth, Adams, Tess, Arch
Bruce Mowbray: I've not seen those ads, please say more.
Bruce Mowbray: wb, Adams.
Tess Aristocrat: Well, you've seen the snuggie blanket with armholes?
Bruce Mowbray: yes, I've seen those.
druth Vlodovic: it'd be like pyjamas wouldn't it?
Adams Rubble: I went to type Hello Bruce and knocked myself out of SL
Tess Aristocrat: This is a one piece outfit that zips up front
Tess Aristocrat: lol
Adams Rubble: Hello Bruce :)
Tess Aristocrat: Instead of clothing, just wear the one piece outfit
druth Vlodovic: I met a guy at a party last night wearing his airforce fatigues, kept calling them his "pyjamas" and mentioned how comfy they were lol
Adams Rubble: :)
Tess Aristocrat: hehehe
Tess Aristocrat: it looks like the little snow suit you put a baby in
Bruce Mowbray: sounds cozy!
Tess Aristocrat: nods, complete with a hood
Tess Aristocrat: and feet
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: that would be good in this cold house
Tess Aristocrat: the infomercial showed a bunch of people wearing them at a football game
druth Vlodovic: sounds like something that needs little ears
Tess Aristocrat: loll..yes!
--BELL--
Tess Aristocrat: should come with a warning label: 'warning! could be confused with the team mascot or the Easter bunny.'
Adams Rubble: :)
Tess Aristocrat: brb
Adams Rubble: We started the session talking about architecture and PaB
Adams Rubble: As you know PaB has met three differenct places
Adams Rubble: I asked Steve what she would design it asked to design a RL PaB building
Adams Rubble: Steve said a building open on all sides in a field so people could enter from all directions
Adams Rubble: It is interesting to think about architecture and how we use it
Adams Rubble: we once met in the teahouse which is like a cabin
Adams Rubble: how does this space affect our discussions
Adams Rubble: or is this space just best for it?
Adams Rubble: nice wreath Bruce
druth Vlodovic: this space is rairly enclosed, with all the trees and bushes around
Adams Rubble: yes druth
Bruce Mowbray: I thought I might wear it around my neck -- got it free. . . but didnt realize it would be this BIG!!!
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: I find I usually sit with my back to the most open part when I arrive first
druth Vlodovic: half open half closed, like the screens at the teahouse, sort of like a person really, a combination of both
Adams Rubble: the teahouse had a big window
Adams Rubble: the pavilion may actually have been the most open. hmmmm
druth Vlodovic: what would you design adams?
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: I am not exactly sure but it probab ly would be enclosed with big windows
Adams Rubble: depending on the site
Adams Rubble: but me lives in a climate where it gets a little chilly in the winter
Adams Rubble: and mosquitoes in the summer
Tess Aristocrat: runs back in..christmas cookie in hand..crumbs flying..
Adams Rubble: :)
druth Vlodovic: I was thinking of a sort of steam house, all dark and enclosed, to give a cozy place to be open in, but that wouldn't be good for a recorded space :)
Bruce Mowbray loves saunas.
Tess Aristocrat: You'd love East Texas then..
Adams Rubble: Maybe PaB doesn't need architecture as much as people
druth Vlodovic: just in time Tess, we were redesigning the pavillion, and you're an architect type person...
Tess Aristocrat: oh :D
Tess Aristocrat: I like the idea of an open wood loft
Tess Aristocrat: with windows..
--BELL--
Tess Aristocrat: I have a friend that has a big roomy open place that is very low prim and lovely big windows. I could go and take a pic and bring it by
druth Vlodovic: it was more theoretical :)
druth Vlodovic: so far most people like a place that seems open but is enclosed
druth Vlodovic: what do you think bruce?
Bruce Mowbray: Would it be like a sauna?
Adams Rubble just thinking of how rarely I look up here into the soaring space with clouds moving by
Tess Aristocrat: My friends place..I like it because of the spaciousness and the sunbeams shining through the windows
Adams Rubble: sunbeams through windows are nice especially in winter
Tess Aristocrat: nods
druth Vlodovic: I envy my cats, just walking up to a "spot" and sleeping in a sunbeam
Adams Rubble: This is a comfortable space here. Large enough for allo of us when we gather in mass but with a feeling of coziness
Adams Rubble: :) druth
druth Vlodovic: cats define the space around them as a "spot" by virtue of it having a cat in it
Adams Rubble: sounds like a cat
Tess Aristocrat: hehe..true
Adams Rubble: we have had two cats move into our house
Adams Rubble: Hello Aphrodite :)
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Aph!
druth Vlodovic: hi aph
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi everyone!
Tess Aristocrat: Aphrodite! ㋡

Aphrodite Macbain: is that a spear Bruce?
Bruce Mowbray: only from you angle. It's a very flat Christmas wreath, actually.
Aphrodite Macbain: oh it's a wreath. sorry from my angle it was 1 dimensional
Adams Rubble: Bruce has speared the wreath :)
Bruce Mowbray: It seems to look best from the front.
Bruce Mowbray: I just got it about ten minutes ago.
Tess Aristocrat: hehe
Aphrodite Macbain: maybe I can ask you so sit at my front door and greet people Bruce
Tess Aristocrat: hehe..yes! a greeting wreath!
Bruce Mowbray: Well, Aph, I am supposed to be able to give the wreath away -- the copy permissions are there.
Bruce Mowbray: Maybe I have to take it off first.
