### Recap
105+
106+
Day 2 was a little less overwhelming, but also jam-packed.
107+
108+
When I first got in, I spent some time reading as much as I could of the source code of the Realtalk engine (big board). This was fun and seemed like a good way to learn about things -- as opposed to looking at random examples.
109+
Then we had lunch. I chatted with Luke about his prior experience starting two companies, and how he was intitally so excited about VR, but now, like other early-VR enthusiasts, he has trouble putting on the goggles. Additionally, he mentioned how far away the technology is from being anywhere near good enough quality.

111+
Then I spent a lot of time with Josh, who explained how the macro/pattern matching system works, the backend architecture (Realtalk, the webserver, the text-editor, the filesystem), including printing out the compiled Lua code that is generated. He also showed me the "Addition Kit" which I LOVED, as well as Editor in the World, which was also really cool. He pointed at a few other "kits" that I'm excited to check out.
112+
113+
Then Luke and I spent an hour or so talking about fundraising. That was fascinating, however, I don't feel comfortable publishing any of details there.

### Prep

121+
I don't have any particular inspiration on what to build yet. I still feel like there's so much to see and tinker with. Here are the things that most interest me:
122+
123+
* math kit (how it works, what fun tweaks could I make)
124+
* looking through the other kits, in particular a mini-editor Paula made
125+
* there was a page on wall in the carpet room that I remember piquing my interest, but I forget what it was
126+
* making a game of some sort
127+
* understaing and tweaking editor in the world
