“Second Chance” Article

 

A week ago, I got a phone call from a journalist working for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, asking me about the seminar he heard I was giving at the University of Düsseldorf. Turns out that Matthias Rückel had given him my name and number – thanks! :-)

Unfortunately, the article was shortened significantly according to the author, so that all the information I gave to him didn’t find its way in – but the seminar is mentioned. (And no, I did not tell him that the Middle Ages ended in the 12th century.)

Anyway, if you’d like to take a look, here’s the article.

As I see it (and of course I’m biased due to my own focus on education), it’s good to see that in the wake of all the negative press, the attention of the media is now turning to alternatives to commercial success (or lack thereof). Going hand in hand with the recent policy change of Linden Lab on wagering in Second Life, this will hopefully make things easier for those of us who believe in what might be called the reputable side of SL. ;-)
