I revisit an email from Ken Perlin at NYU so often I want it in my timeline. He sent it to me in August 2015 in response to questions for an article I was writing. Here’s what he wrote:

My house wears my iPhones and charges them until it is time to take one out, work or personal.

The Thirteenth Floor.

The other movie from 1999 about virtual reality.

To discover the truth, go to a place you would never go.

End the tyranny of fixed frame physical displays. They cannot frame our worlds for us anymore.

I’ve added straps to wear my phones for work or personal use. Different Apple IDs, photo libraries, messaging.

Now I can hang up my work from a hook by the door like a badge for the office.

MagSafe battery packs work.

Heading down to the New York Comic Con to see a Stormtrooper who built their cosplay around Quest 3.

Maybe this is the article to argue my canon theory for why Stormtroopers shoot poorly.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say again

@walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social is so good, that it’s worth getting into XR just so you can play Walkabout Mini Golf, even if you never do anything else with XR

If that comes across as “butt kissing” on my part, so be it. It’s still true

I’m going to need a timestamp on the first use of bear spray on a furry by the United States government?

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 5d

I'd wonder where the furries are but

Yeah I wouldn't wanna get pepper shit in a fursuit either, heard that shit is hard to get cleaned out 😭

THAT SAID,

Kinky Washable Fursuiters THIS IS YOUR TIME

Would be an interesting mechanical feature if glasses could transfer pressing the bridge into the center of your face as the “release” mechanism for an iris there covering a camera lens.

The iris could auto-close with finger detection near the lens, no touch necessary.

Convinced there are more people laughing at these kinds of posts waiting to buy Valve hardware than there are people who play in Quest headsets on a regular basis.

Look, it’s cool that I feel like I’m in the back of a helicopter with my assault rifle shooting zombies but somebody needs to explain why I just did that one-eyed.

I’ve ridden across L.A. at the demands of more than one boss and they’ve unlocked the attraction just for us.

Guess I’m doing this with one eye closed lol.
