Time Capsule

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like, to be the victim in a violent situation so I could let rage righteously flow through me like the emperor encourages. I imagine describing to the aggressor what I would do, and then making good on my promises.
Sometimes my mum gives me letters I have written to myself from the past. They have prompts. (Copied Verbatim)

Hello from the 20th Century!

The best things in my life are:
MY Friends, trombones
the internet
The wonder of
tomorrow

My personal goals for the future are:
to be an ultimate gamer.
Make VRML models
for the future

My wishes for the future world are:
no pollution
There would be hover bords
lowpower blasters and
lightsabers,

Signed: Emmett Baber Date:__________


I'm sure they are low power, so that people can ride around on their hover boards shooting at each other without inflicting any lasting damage.

From the future: Hey that's troubling. I was understandably a really angry kid. Nobody ever gave me tools to work with my feelings. It's kinda rad how I am making something like VRML models now!

ADHD - The other side.

I have heard that the number of kids being diagnosed with ADHD has been increasing. Now I'm no scientist, (perhaps of the severely agitated kind but no other) but I'm not sure if It's the kids. Throw yourself back in time. Imagine sitting in a chair. Thick oak stretches out to the horizon, littered with paper. Friends live four miles away at the least. This is your world. Books your only escape. Think of the focus and commitment towards your imagined realities. Dictionaries become tomes of meaning, able to unlock hundreds of thousands of worlds. But while you were reading this blog, your cell phone buzzes and plays the "Dean scream" to notify you of an incoming text. ( Dean's Scream ) Notifications in the lower right corner of your LCD screen alert you to the new messages in all your chat applications. The televisions low hum, drowned by the constant bombardment of advertisements and terrible programming. Why would you spend the time to peer through your imagi

The River Delta

"Emmett, do you want to say something?" she asked. The main hall was stifling to me in that moment. The barn which was converted into a two story classroom and office space, left a large portion open, and laminated. It had mirrors and parallel bars across one side for ballet, but was used for other large events when needed. Sitting in training like I was, with the huge vaulted space above me I decided to close the journal I had been furiously scribbling in, and speak. "...yyyeeaah?" Everyone chuckled a bit. I tried to compose my thoughts. "I think our programming is... well Meat-space-centric?" Looking around the room I had everyone's eyes, and they looked like the eyes of someone who has just heard a soon to be passerby start yammering under their breath. They were braced for some crazy. I continued. "People use the term meat-space to present a dichotomy between the 'real' and 'virtual' worlds. I mean there is no such thin

VR Theremin 1.0

Image
Ever since I was little I wanted a Theremin. Only now, after I built one on UE4 (the Unreal Engine 4) have I discovered my inability to play it. I bet you guys can do better though! Use Paypal to  drop me a tip if you want, but you can download it for free.  If you have ideas for features, comments on the project, or just want to talk, leave comments or tweet me.  If it makes $100 bucks I can apply to Greenlight on Steam!
