			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Iditarod is a huge event here in Alaska and the race kicked off this year just a couple of days ago on 01 March. The race was also commemorated in Second Life with a Virtual Iditarod. I wasn&#8217;t able to log onto over the weekend to attend the event, but Anchorage&#8217;s own Aliza Sherman was there and <a href="http://www.slnn.com/index.php?SCREEN=article&#038;about=virtual-iditarod-alaska">wrote about the experience for SLNN</a> and <a href="http://cybergrrloh.blogspot.com/2008/03/saturday-morning-i-went-inworld-for.html">on her own blog</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iconolith/2310457650/" title="Virtual Iditarod in Second Life by iconolith, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2235/2310457650_1a9b85af08.jpg" width="500" height="300" alt="Virtual Iditarod in Second Life" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m curious to see what sort of activities they have planned for the end of the race. The event as a whole didn&#8217;t seemed to be hyped up very much (in SL), but now that I know what&#8217;s going on I&#8217;m sure I know of a few University folks with SL accounts that will want to stop in and see the sim, particularly if the Anchorage Convention and Visitor&#8217;s Bureau has something bigger planned. </p>
<p>If nothing else, I&#8217;ll at least go back and donate some Linden Dollars to the ACVB. I saw that the proceeds from the dog sled sale go to them, but I didn&#8217;t see a place to leave any larger donations. Maybe I&#8217;ll just have a lot of sleds in my inventory for a bit.</p>
