Thanks! These were all processed with Reality Capture. For external data we are agnostic to sources as long as camera poses, geometry & photo inputs are made available. So something like Meshroom or Metashape are options.

I'm seeing lots of oversaturated people with giant pants on startup marketing sites these days. Don't really understand this trend.

I'm a 25 year old with a beater car 5 miles from downtown Seattle. Here are my real numbers:

Parking: For me the bus is around 10 minutes slower each way. I just take that most days.

Home parking: Free on-street parking

Gas: $40/month * 12 = $480

Registration: $200 (May be a bit higher now with ST3)

Insurance: $700

Maintenance: $1000 sounds about right

For around $2380 / year. Well worth it for the freedom it gives me imo.

The LA map is a lot more complete and interesting.

Anyone think recent board games are becoming unnecessarily complex and deeply strategy based? It could just be what I've seen from my friends but a lot of the times you can tell from the box art and title alone that you're going to need tiles, tokens, cards a 3 page manual and a practice round before you can even start. For me, that's a slog. It's too hard to hold conversation or focus on anything other than the game. I guess there will always be a divide between people who can spend 3 hours of intense concentration on a Settlers of Catan game and people who just want to play Jenga for a few rounds. Are there any popular simple games in the latter category recently?

Facebook has an events app that cuts timeline and profiles and pages. Deleting the main app for this totally isolated that usefulness for me.

Real life:

"Did you read Infinite Jest?"

"No"

"Okay"

Academia:

"Did you read Infinite Jest?"

"My small act of countercultural scholarly agency has been to refuse to continue reading or assigning the work of David Foster Wallace. The machine of his celebrity masks, I have argued, the limited benefits of spending the time required to read his work. Our time is better spent elsewhere. I make this assessment given the evidence I have so far accumulated"

"Okay"

I don't think lawyer fees imply anything about the code quality. See: HealthCare.gov fiasco.

I miss the super saturated double gradient Bloomberg used to have on their banners and feature images after the redesign.

That's the most memorable tourist map I received in 6 months in Europe. It's hanging on my wall right now. Iceland does a really great job with their tourism industry.

He's an embodiment of the end of organic growth in art. Cherrypicking young artists and forcing then towards pieces that will churn larger profits. Public opinion is riding an Instagram fueled hype machine with this tasteless fool at the helm.

Thanks! I used Black/White's sprites, a few of which were recycled or tweaked from earlier games.
