Nice write up! I love seeing novel uses for game engine tools. I lead a media group at a large museum and have mostly standardized on unity for all sorts of interactives and media experiences. Bookmarking this to checkout the specifics of the pipeline later.

I found the same, though I couldn't bring myself to buy another watch just because it was cheaper. So I bought some NATO straps and have been really happy with them. Perfect watch for me now.

I was so excited about the N900 when it was announced - a linux machine in my pocket! I couldn't justify the price, being freshly out of school though. Nokia advertised a competition asking the public how they would "hack" the device to make something cool. I submitted a proposal to make a bike dashboard - it sounds so basic now, but I wanted a simple way to track my ride and proposed fun little additions like using the ambient light sensor to turn on an external headlight, a horn, etc.

They picked my proposal along with a couple others and gave us some budget to buy hardware and components, and about 3 or 4 weeks to complete the project. It was my first time soldering, first time using an Arduino, and I remember being so stressed out about whether or not it would work.

It all came together in the end and looking back with hindsight now, I really owe a lot to that competition and the phone that let me pretty quickly write python apps on it :) Good times.

Agreed, and anecdotally, we live in a very large US city and know our postman and our UPS delivery guy. It's been extremely helpful on more than one occasion, he even personally texted me when I wasn't home to say he could come by later. I always love chatting with them on the stoop.
