Marcel in XR

4 people display the University of Oregon hand symbol at the Oregon Reality Lab booth at Augmented World Expo 2025 in Long Beach, California

Spent the week in Long Beach at #AWE2025. I got to meet a couple of my professors and cohort in person after all our zoom classes. The talks I was able to attend were very informative and inspiring. I’m ready to work on my capstone and finish my program #GoDucks #xrisgoingmainstream

Such a fun game on the Quest

I just did a zoom presentation to my class. I have gone over 25 years ducking any hint of public speaking due to an extreme anxiety. My wife and therapist are going to be so happy!

It’s weird that I’m on a freeway in LA and all I’m thinking is: “No way Sandra Bullock could keep a bus going 55mph on this thing.”

Been there. She started to ask her Echo to play it all the time. The positive thing was the playlists that followed played much better songs and now she asks it to play Hall & Oates to Elton John to Earth, Wind, and Fire

Earthquake!?

The five thing you did last week reminds me of when Dwight asked the office to tell him about their preexisting conditions

I just started reading/listening to this book and drawing parallels to what is happening now

Just started reading/listening to ‘Black Reconstruction in America’ and the fact that W.E.B DuBois’ words are still relevant today is sad. The poor whites thinking the enslaved had it better because they were “taken care of” sounds a lot like how that crowd thinks of immigrants now.

Working through a tutorial, designing a dumpster for #VR asset inside of #unrealengine. I’ll show progress

Got a deadline mixed up and turned in some client work a week early AND they love it!

The image is a well-known scene from the movie Inglourious Basterds (2009), directed by Quentin Tarantino. It depicts a moment where a character, dressed as a German officer, raises his fingers to order three drinks, unknowingly revealing himself as a foreigner due to the incorrect hand gesture. A Nazi officer, played by August Diehl, notices this mistake and looks at him with suspicion. The background shows other German officers in a dimly lit tavern setting. "A tense scene from Inglourious Basterds where a man raises three fingers to order drinks, while a Nazi officer looks at him with suspicion in a dimly lit tavern."

In elementary school there was a girl named Lena and I called her Lena Horne. They thought I called her a wh*re. I had to defend myself that I knew who that was because I was so young

Bone Thug-N-Harmony's E. 1999 album, released in 1995

Whenever I need to summon some teenage audacity, I listen to an album from my teenage years. Today that is Bone's E. 1999, the first explicit cd my parents' let me buy. I just turned 13 and was living in Türkiye just chilling before life threw me a curveball

These are the words the government is banning. They are words I teach my children to help make them better people.

Halfway through the quarter, halfway through earning a Master’s. Taking 16 credits on top of everything else going on in my life, the world, is taking its toll. I have to remember to keep my head up and enjoy the journey.

This guy blocked me but stole my family vacation header pic on the way out. That’s weird behavior
