As mentioned on the latest podcast, I downloaded a bunch of videos from the moving image section of internet archive “this just in” feed while waiting for my visa to get processed this past July and August. I’ve only just recently begun digging through the files.

I’m striving to put something together based on a suggestion you made a while back about using a series of GIFs to contribute to a whole new story. I’m still working on dialing down the inscrutability factor a notch or to. Perhaps using fewer compound and complex sentences in the blog posts will do the trick, unless it doesn’t.
