I just realized now that the NOAA had changed the URL of their weather feed and the site had not been recording the temp with blog postings. Its back now.

We hit up funky Monkey last night after watching (e:terry) play Dragon Age Inquisition for about 15 hours. Had a big group hug out on the back patio with rat boy in the middle. I kind of wish we started the night a bit earlier.

This game is awesome. Its so hard to really describe how great it looks in VR.

The galaxy gear VR that (e:terry) and (e:joe) got me for christmas is so cool

With all the years I spent working on 3d and VR stuff I never thought it would be as simple as snapping my phone into a headset. In fact, I can remember back in 2003 when my friend jesse told me he saw some cell phones with 3d graphics in Japan and I was blown away. Like ya sure, 3d graphics in a cell phone. Now the phone is the guts of a VR experience that is totally emersive.

Even my mom thought it was cool and she is not very into tech. Now I want 3d cameras so bad. I wish I had something like Samsung project beyond before my nonna died. Imagine capturing a fully emersive hologram of someone telling family stories.

We spend Christmas Eve at my Aunt's house. The food is always so amazing. It's nice catching up with my cousins. we barely ever see other nowadays.
