@garethmorgannz @SiouxsieW @blairensor So, the NZ Treasury maintains a statistical cost of life that, in 2013, was $3.85M. It's indexed to hourly earnings, so probably more like $4.4M by now.

Ignorance really is a leg-iron.

@agent_cooper @seattlevr @PlutoVR Or, do you just want events to be happening? Got ideas for content? Speakers? I've got some good connections with AWE if you want to do a thing with them, too. Let us know how we can help. Feel free to ping me separately if you want to talk more!

[Trond Nilsen @xorgnz]

@agent_cooper @seattlevr @PlutoVR @seattlevr would love to collaborate. More generally, SITA, the nonprofit that supports Seattle VR exists to help anyone who wants to do community stuff in this space. Do you particular want to run everything from scratch, or would you like us to help you put something together?

Dear @googlecalendar. Not only do you delete my custom colors, but now I can't actually customize them properly. Look at this - I've chosen #008000 but that actually yields #238119.

[Trond Nilsen @xorgnz]

Dear @googlecalendar. Please stop changing all of my custom colors back to your defaults every time you change your color selection list. It's really annoying. Maybe people are using custom colors for a reason?

I don't know much about what's going on in Australian politics right now, but this did amuse. Particularly kung fu guy in the corner.

Reasons to come to a hackathon! (see Eva's feed for her 5 reasons)

[Trond Nilsen @xorgnz]

Woo! About time we had another of these...

[Seattle VR/AR @seattlevr]

On September 14-16, we are hosting the SEVENTH #VR/#AR hackathon in Seattle. Time flies when you're immersed!

Come with curiousity on Friday and leave with your own immersive experience by Sunday. Beginners and students encouraged to go ✨

@aldenkroll @mollygos Oh, and if you want to meet more Seattle VR devs, the Seattle VR / AR Facebook group is full of them (or you could come to one of the Seattle VR or Eastside VR meetups) :)

[Trond Nilsen @xorgnz]

@aldenkroll @mollygos Hey, Alden. I'm at Virtual Therapeutics in Kirkland. We do VR / AR games for therapeutic healthcare. I haven't interacted with Valve much since Chet moved on.

[Trond Nilsen @xorgnz]

Some excellent advice in here... https://t.co/X8G2AGZziV

[Jon @JonVirtual]

So, I cruised the floor at AWE today and it was pretty good but watching some of the VR demos being given... we have work to do to teach people how to give VR demos still. Can I rant without naming names?

@downtohoerth How many times did you go up and down the stairs to set up that shot? :)

[Trond Nilsen @xorgnz]

@Windows I mean, OneDrive eats 8, version control software 5-10, plus Dropbox, Google Drive and more. It's been like this since XP!
