I forgot to celebrate that you mentioned Don Carson's Horizon World tutorials one of these days at the VR Download. Those videos covered very interesting concepts of "environmental storytelling" and space layout design. They were very valuable to watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hba...

Apple TV guest pass should be a thing. If you’ve got something that an Apple subscriber has paid for on TV, you should be able to wear any headset in the same room and watch it synced the way you prefer it, with or without captions, 3D or not, or perhaps audio in a different language.

Got an email from Apple that the dual knit band I ordered is available for pickup.

Got to store and they said they can’t release it early.
