dream virtual room with Travis

##06:39 Monday 23 March 2015 JST##

Travis and I were in a virtual reality on my computer. He showed me a room that was similar to what I had seen before, so I almost didn't go inside to explore. Then I was like, "wait if Travis showed me this, it must be cool" so I went inside to check the place out. It was *amazing* with 3D virtual games inside the groom, a hologram which could be manipulated by touching the screen and project into the room; and some hidden rooms behind the walls with hinged doors on mirrors that caused the hologram to reflect "infinitely" back and forth; it was so realistic that I made a joke "the Matrix is everywhere".

I found a super hidden corner which even Travis hadn't heard about while reading people's logs about exploring the place; it was hidden behind an inflatable statue and in between the statue and the wall was a panel that could be opened and revealed a mirror hinged between a panel hinged between a mirror and the mirrors were offset from each other so I wondered how they functioned while hinged like that. I pulled the device out and showed Travis but he said he hadn't seen it before. Wow. I was one of the first people on the internet to find this part of this virtual room! Travis said he had to get going and was glad that I had enjoyed the place. Most def! So we started to lock up everything the way we had found it and one door was unable to lock because its adjoining latch was on a frame that had been bent so that the door coudln't reach it anymrore. I guessed we had to leave that part open.

I saw that Travis had picked up a lot of broken glass to clean up the place and I got a trtansmission from Marcel who was like, "dude are you still there?" cause he had read my journal entry about it and wanted to see the place as well, so he beamed over and I was like, "Duuuuude!" and he was like "Duuuuuude!!" and I introduced Travis and Marcel and then they were talking for a bit but Travis had to go so Marcel was talking to me to see the new thing I had found. I told him I forgot to take pictures and he was like, "aw man I knew I should have contacted you sooner!"

I stepped over a virtual tar pit and started to wake up.

hello unity

I evaluated Unreal Engine now that it's free and its pricing model is quite nice! They require no payment until we start making money consistently.

However, the dearth of assets and such impels me to stay with [Unity3D]().

right now I'm doing this little pong tutorial which is geared toward Unity3D version 5.

Code is done and on github, but no live version (yet???) pong via noobtuts

workin late

Workin' late with Sho on a new site for Body and Soul; they put on an event each year in May so we're prepping for the announcement.

I put their original site in a git repo and have their banner page on the master branch, but edits to the new site were started from a few commits back. Blarg. I agree with my decisison to start edits from a few commits back, but maybe I should have two "master" branches: one master-banner and one master-site, or something. Then each master would have far fewer changes and no weird merges required.

I might abandon the existing master branch and just pretend it's not there and move forward with two master-_____ branches plan.
