New car

Unlike most people, buying a new car did not trigger any excitement (or any form of emotion) in my mind, and the decision was based on technology and economics (no emission, available supply, high benefit-to-cost ratio, no middleman).

This straight-edged head relief on a 2016 1-euro coin made for a good quick drawing exercise.

Lip sync a pre-recorded video for live presentation

In a recent research talk to about 100 people, the host suggested me to pre-upload any video files into the conferencing system to minimize network disruptions during live presentation.
Since my slides contain a lot of videos with a mix of online and local files, it would be infeasible to pre-upload them and then scramble to pick them on the fly.
Thus, I pre-recorded my entire presentation during a practice session, uploaded the recorded video, and played it during the meeting with my camera on and lip sync.
Panopto capture seems to work well for presenting from a Chrome tab (with Google slides).
