I published 41 interviews from 2018 to 2025 on the Voices of VR covering Augmented World Expo Past & Present. I cover XR & AI like a hyperobject over space & time through the modality of oral history, and this series is 24.5 hours long spanning lots of topics. See my cheat sheet with tags & metadata

Did I ever mention that @resonite.com has native Gaussian splat support?

.PLY & .SPZ both supported - just drag & drop them in.

Full rendering (including spherical harmonics). Basic editing support too (not shown). VRAM compression.

Crucial to the protection of biodiversity, “Our public lands nurture wildlife, sustain drinking water, offer sublime scenery, protect cultural and historic landmarks, and replenish our spirits.” We need to protect and cherish these profoundest of gifts.

EPA workers stand up for public health. Then Trump officials sent home. The document criticizes the agency for “undermining the public trust."

Trump’s EPA put 130+ employees on leave for sending a letter opposing the administration’s anti-science policies.

Punishing federal employees for speaking out is un-American.

The workers must be reinstated immediately.

The microfiche digitization livestream from the Internet Archive also includes silent films, home movies, and other random things with lofi archive radio playing in the background for your listening pleasure. On a day like today, how cool is that?

Call for Support: – About BHL

Foundations: please step up and take over the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). This is an absolutely essential scanned archive of all of the old journals and books from the 1500s to about 1920. Has been indispensable for my research.

I support Palestine Action.
I hate all forms of violence.
I wish no harm on anyone.
I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world.
Apparently this makes me a terrorist.
But I am the opposite of a terrorist.
