   Hiya - when I tell people that I don't do social media, they get a puzzled   
   look and ask "Why?". I tell them I've been in the IT industry almost my entire   
   adult life, and I've learned to not trust things that get very popular very   
   quickly. When I see all    
   the news about user data being harvested and sold, I'm glad I don't   
   participate.   
      
   The "project" is a fan-edit of BR2049 to see if I can get 20 or even 30   
   minutes off the run-time. I'm also fortunate that I'm a part-time digital   
   cinema projectionist for a film society, so I've got access to a digital   
   projector, big screen and 5.1 audio    
   -)   
      
   cheers
