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

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!
Help me spread the word!

My son was basically a celebrity trick or treating tonight. He was on cloud 9 from all the attention. Worth the effort!

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).

I guess corporate found that engagement metrics increase if you don't mention whose birthday it is, because now there's an opportunity to catch you scrolling in the app

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).

A fun (“fun”) new thing we need to address is the time wasted correcting the errors of people who arrive at a conversation having only read the AI summary of a document.

“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.
He kept what we threw away – a slice of Singapore history through movie tickets, newspapers, payphone cards
Communications specialist Winston Chong developed a penchant for physical media in his youth. But amid rapid digitalisation, perhaps his collections aren’t just personal mementoes – they are part of t...

The interesting part of Tron for me was the fact that the users had avatars for their programs that looked like them in the computer world and did the work of that program. Years later, you’ve trolls, lurkers, chat rooms, scammers, social media, influencers and a wealth of stuff to draw on.

I’m looking forward to the day when an LLM, out of sheer frustration, tells a "vibes coder" that "the code works on my machine" and that it’s a skill problem. That day, be afraid, very afraid, of the machines 😳
