National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman at Presidential Inauguration https://t.co/dTBnMlENs4 via @YouTube More of this. We need more of this.

Experiencing a feeing I’ve felt two, maybe three times, of my whole body decompressing with a tangible “poof” during swearing in. Only felt this a couple times after weeks long sustained meditation. Feeling same “poof” without even trying today.

@ali_heston @Cabbibo Wish I had the term “completionist affordances” a few years ago. 2 words deftly replace a paragraph’s worth which I repeated a lot. However did find that the more completionist we made our affordances, the more frequently we heard “I swear I felt that!” Faux haptics = faptics.

[Barrett Fox @Protodeep]

@Cabbibo Yeah, like kinda menacing. You accidentally made eye contact with the baby-god or something.

@agathayu I once lectured for 12 straight hours teaching Maya animation to 3 classes in a row. 6 hours of VC is easily as tiring as that was.

Just to be clear and go on record:

Trump is a racist.
You can’t vote Republican without voting for racism.

@gangof4official Andy Gill & Gang of Four taught me to dance, hard, with my middle finger in the air. Taught me I could flip my lid on the drums, groove to the point of fully irrational abandon & think about the world simultaneously. Gave me the gift of a few of the most alive moments of my life.

Here’s the start of #FormulaE race 12 which was action packed flag-to-flag! Seats were facing the Statue is Liberty! So wicked cool, going back to Brooklyn tomorrow for the final race of the season. Championship might even be decided tomorrow! Double-Plus Rad!

[Barrett Fox @Protodeep]

Race 12 of #FormulaE hasn’t even started yet and it’s already a blast. This is start of qualifying.

Happy #Krinkle Season Everybody

[Barrett Fox @Protodeep]

If the hive mind is correct, I got a good look at the cool #meteor trail from the #berkeley hills on my evening walk.

[Barrett Fox @Protodeep]

So my favorite human, ⁦@SunnySmog⁩ continues to Dig fascinating concepts. Say you’re a kid who digs #VR #AR and might want to make some. #Proprioception might be pretty wicked good to know. https://t.co/X7Bd4Vok87

[Barrett Fox @Protodeep]

@MrSchubert @facebook Thanks for the kind words everybody. That's truly appreciated and amazing.

@zachkinstner @JoshuaCorvinus @MrSchubert @LeapMotion I'm with you. So maybe lines connecting the hands to the center point? Lines that change based on distance somehow? Maybe they get thinner, have more tick marks, glow, have animated marching ants? Just riffing of course.
