I've mentioned before that while Lisa doesn't use e-mail and has a very limited online presence, she does actively participate in ActiveWorlds, where she is user Kuma Bear. She only recently found this effusive article about her building in AW last night. Lisa really enjoys building in AW. I think she's a frustrated architect, and this environment indulges her creativity in building things. In particular, there are certain restrictions in the "AlphaWorld" environment that she has been working diligently to get around, allowing her to build things in AlphaWorld that most people wouldn't think possible.

Lisa invites anyone who is interested to join ActiveWorlds (free membership) and come look at her buildings. Lately she's been working to zombie-proof a new town. More details later.

I have mentioned before that Lisa (user handle KumaBear) is an enthusiastic participant in ActiveWorlds, a virtual-reality platform that has been around since ~~the Dark Ages~~ 1995, where she has been building the virtual town of Bleakwood. Last night, the ActiveWorlds user community presented the Cy Awards, which are voted upon by the users to honor achievement in different categories. I'm pleased to announce that Lisa's Bleakwood won the 2014 Cy Award for Virtual Art Design. (You may have to choose 2014 if you go to that page; I don't see any way to directly link to the specific year.) Lisa was not able to attend the awards ceremony (she didn't bring her AW-enabled computer on this trip), but sent an acceptance speech to a good friend to read on her behalf. Lisa is chuffed, as the British say, and I'm proud of her.
