This week Steph was getting ready for her trip to Mexico for Science Week with the cave diving group.

I had a call with Kim and Grace on Tuesday, and Grace made a story using the Story Machine. Wednesday I helped Steph to the train station, then took the afternoon off to go to the Hampstead Heath ponds with a coworker. The weather was perfect and the pond was cold at first, but as long as I stayed moving it was a great temperature.

Thursday evening I went to the ABBA concert with coworkers and I was impressed by the tech they used. It made the digital representations seem pretty real, but they still had points where they were uncanny valley. The sparkle effects were especially amazing.

Friday and Saturday I worked on a game for the Brackeys game jam with the theme “Diving Deeper.” I chose to make an interactive story about Steph cave diving in Mexico, Scuba Steph. I was happy with how it turned out, although it isn’t much of a game.

Sunday I climbed with Punit and then had lunch at Canopy Market with him, Nancy, and a few of their friends from the states.

I mainly did chores for the rest of Sunday until 6pm. Then I played some Grounded with Michelle and Michael. We completed the pond lab, and got the chip from the anthill after getting ant armor.

Monday I did a long hike at the end of the Metropolitan line. The weather was pretty good, and the views were great. The berries were all over the place, and delicious.

Monday evening I went to a musical, A Strange Loop. It was good, but I’m sure there were tons of references that went over my head. I saw Oskar, a coworker, there.
