I’d rather not be shot in the pianist.
I just hung a green screen in my window so when I host my next Zoom meeting participants will be able to watch stop-motion dinosaurs fighting it out in my backyard.

Dear friends,
As coronavirus continues to spread across the globe and whole countries go into lockdown, we need solidarity and creative resistance now more than ever. At Cultures of Resistance Films, we’re joining an effort started by film festivals to make art free and accessible during these difficult times. One example is Italy’s Ischia Film Festival, whose #ilfestivalacasatua drive is bringing innovative cinema into people’s homes during the crisis. We are proud to join with this and other similar campaigns to support those affected by the pandemic.
As a way of extending solidarity to all who are suffering or living under quarantine, we are making all our films available for free online. Below you can find a list of our films and links for viewing them on our Cultures Of Resistance YouTube or Vimeo.
We hope all of you will stay safe, limit social contact in order to help protect the most vulnerable, and use online tools and other technologies to join in efforts to promote just, humane public responses to the crisis.
Yours in solidarity,
iara lee and the whole team
If you’re in Ontario, it’s time to get the hummingbird feeders out. The pathfinders are already here, and will probably be at your feeder shortly once it’s up.

No idea if they are watchable without VPN. Time zone GMT +2.
If not, I can continue to stream “Radio Rock!”
I also digitized my entire CD collection, a long-term project that I’ve finally had time to tackle.
Still in process…
…and seemed to have borked the cupholder CD/DVD thingy in the good desktop in the process. I’ve got this quite old limited-run obscure indie thing that was released on a rewritable CD too long ago. Took about 28 hours to rip, with the drive increasingly making funny noises. My guess is that the little slide with the IR diode on it whacked itself out of alignment. But I can’t be asked to swap in one of the spare drives lying about just now, at least not while second-best desktop is up to the task.
