About the videos

Yes, the quality does leave something to be desired. We try to eat our own dog food and use a mobile device. However, sometimes practicality could override ideology.

If you happen to have an old, spare video-camera with a USB connector, we would be very happy to receive a donation. You shall be rewarded with much fame and a good sensation.
