So I was out on the town early today to help a friend on a project coming up, and after it was done, and breakfast, I decided it was far too nice a day to waste in my home office, so I took a trip to Index and back, just to get out of the house. I was not dissapointed.

Where I am now.

Happy St Patrick's Day to those that celebrate....

"You're aging gracefully, Jenn."
"No I'm not, I'm aging violently into the night."

I know I'm nearing fifty when I realize I have too many glasses for too many things.

One for everyday, one got computer use and one for driving although that's being repurposed for VR.

I've got a set of prescription sunglasses in the car, too.

Thoughts Before Bed:

1987: I'm living proof that boys and girls can be friends without physical attraction getting in the way.
1988: Turns out it was because I was a girl this whole time.

That glorious first day of the year when all the windows are open.

Getting the hang of this VR thing....

#resonite

Thanks to a friend, I finally head my first real Holodeck Moment in VR.

While Resonite gave me my first "this is my body now" moment, Resonites worlds were nice but mostly highly stylized (and honestly, I'm still smitten with having a closer body to what I want there), and SL was, as I mentioned, a 3D experience versus VR.

But I tried EmuVR at the suggestion of a friend - which is essentially a VR version of RetroArch for playing console games on your VR set. But it's set in a small room. From the 80s.

With the closed in walls, and the ability to really look up close and examine stuff (and the little things like candy bars scattered around, and pizza boxes), it really felt like I was inside a room full of TVs.

The game emulation was iffy but the immersion was really REALLY complete. Very VERY felt like a Holodeck sim....
