This makes me feel slightly better about all the gesticulating I’ve been doing while recording screencasts for my newly online classes. No camera on me, but I’m still trying to show people that the small intestine is over here with my cursor but also my hands.
Makes me feel eccentric to be doing it, but now I feel a little justified.
