San Diego’s newest corporate darling, Bridgepoint Education
I don't really see how Bridgepoint is that much different from the local universities. The universities all depend on government funds, and as a UC graduate I feel they pulled ALL kinds of ridiculous tricks to keep as much of my grant/loan money as possible. I paid their high cost for my prestigious degree though in the end I feel I learned more from my community college and google than UC. So, were they not also, at times, faking it to make it? Though I also work at Bridgepoint, and love my job, think its one thousand times better than the crappy retail job I used to work at. I was abused and paid little in retail. At Bridgepoint they treat me like a human..... So, I'm bias.— July 10, 2010 1:24 p.m.
UCSD pays for trans-species project.
This project was great. I saw parts of it from both worlds. It was about gender, and it was about more than just gender. This project is GENUINE research. This project was very multi-faceted and this article which takes the occasional jab at the performance can't possibly hope to encompass that which was this project. IE: This project wrote the code for the motion detectors to be able to move an Avatar in Second Life, based off the movements of a real human body in real life, and released the code to those would WANT it. Micha keeping true to her open source values. This was also an EXPERIMENT. So of course there are parts that may seem out of place, but the point was to find out what is important, and the only way to do that it to try EVERYTHING humanely possibly that is in your power. For me this project was about our identity, what is important about how we express ourselves when we don't have to "hide", and really Micha is studying and exposing the alter-egos so many of your friends and family are taking on behind you backs in SL. She is asking a question! She has given us so much great information that will stand the test of time, and a great stepping stone to understanding ourselves and our humanity. Whether it's about gender or just our identity PERIOD. This project I feel was about even more than Micha realizes, or that we can realize. Micha was an ambassador for real life into the virtual. Micha was taken around like she was a foreigner from another country and shown the best and worst and most creative aspects of what I believe to be the underestimated platform of "Second Life". Micha was not JUST wasting time making a political point. This was an extreme turning point in technology merging with the body, and how the body holds up when immersed for long periods of time in a virtual environment like this. It is a stepping stone, and in the future when others may have to immerse themselves in a virtual environment they will have research to look-up. I implore those of you who look at this performance to look into the ANSWER she was given more than the QUESTION she asked. The best parts of this project for me lie within what she found when she asked this question.— March 26, 2009 3:01 a.m.
