What is your video backdrop? April 1, 2020 8:18 pm podrock

If you have to do video chat, what is your backdrop?

Sure as hell will not be my office. I don’t want to reveal the normal condition of my office space. Lucky if I can keep the piles of stuff not exceeding the angle of repose. Plus, unlike what I’m seeing on TV, I’ve got a jar of peanut butter and a half pack of saltine crackers here on the desk, this morning’s coffee mug, a single nitrile glove that was in my pocket, and several dozen other objects all arranged in my typical decorating style I call “not giving a damn.”

No. I’ll use the upstairs living room, in front of the gas fireplace that also features one of Mrs. P’s particularly marvelous paintings.
