Hello Bluesky! I’m Prakash and I work in the education sector in Singapore handling all things related to video post-production and creating teaching and learning materials for higher education. Outside of my job, I’m a general enthusiast in all things art and tech. Good vibes only! #intro

As someone who melted a significant portion of my brain writing about sociotechnical representations of time and temporal sensemaking in my dissertation, this is amazing.

Sorry, but I've had to remind myself recently that I'm actually pretty darn good at what I do, whatever this is

I think emoji-only feedback is actually underrated

is it just teachers who have to say “I noticed” before giving even the mildest critical feedback? I’ve stopped doing this & instead say things like “we need to get better at” (especially with students) because it’s more direct and communicates that I’m confident in my feedback AND their ability

Only Valve can get away with casually dropping news of new hardware on a random day of the week out of the blue. A new VR headset from Valve. Steam Frame is here and it’s real.
UploadVR's Ian Hamilton and David Heaney went hands-on with Steam Frame at Valve HQ, trying both standalone use and PC VR.
Read their impressions here:

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

I made a ridiculously fun app for Apple Vision Pro and the new Logitech Muse 'spatial accessory' that lets you spray paint the world around you.
Spray Paint Spatial, approved by Apple and now on the App Store!

Hmmm. Watching the Affinity big "True Creative Freedom" reveal video. I've long recommended the Affinity tools as solid alts to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (ipad apps in particular are great).
Basically, it's all rolled into 1 app. Now free, but with deep integration with Canva (for AI).

AI in education is the answer to a critical question: how do we provide bullshit education that will prepare students for the bullshit jobs they will do when they graduate?

The absence of content like Open Brush and limited availability of controllers really does give Mirage Solo Déjà vu vibes.
Is there another Android XR headset coming that this system is a developer kit to prepare ahead of?
How can we get more headsets to devs?

A few quick thoughts on Galaxy XR before we lent our headset to @ianhamilton.net for the weekend (since it’s silly Samsung didn’t provide UploadVR with a review unit and the one they ordered at their own expense won’t come for weeks).

“With physical things, it's more like a memory of what shaped you, what you’ve been through”. An interesting look at Winston Chong and his love for collecting analogue media in Singapore. Seeing some of the items like the phone cards immediately brought me way back to when I was little. Good times.
