💡 Instead, use lighting to *create* depth, not remove it.
Best way to do this?
Move lights to your 1-2 o’clock position.👉 Bonus: raise your lights higher for a softer, more flattering feel.

Zoom Exhaustion
Why is video-conferencing so exhausting?
The problem with video-conferencing is that the body is but isn’t there… The situation is more like a face-to-face encounter than most any other medium, but, for that very reason, it frustrates us because it is, nonetheless, significantly different. I suppose we might think of it as something like a conversational uncanny valley. The full range of what the mind assumes should be available to it when it perceives a body, simply isn’t there…
Participants are not, in fact, sharing the same physical space, making it difficult to perceive our conversation partners as part of a cohesive perceptive field. They lose their integrity as objects of perception, which is to say they don’t appear whole and independent; they appear truncated and as parts of a representation within another object of perception, the screen.

Headphones let me listen along while making dinner.
Interesting discussion about recipe tracking, and what people are looking for in a recipe format (especially depending on how experienced they are, or if it’s the first time making a recipe).
Interesting to hear the kinds of projects people are working on, even if they are over my head technically. Soaking it all in, learning, learning.
