Binary System Podcast #214 - Vodka, clean hands, and nerd TV

<p>Original broadcast date March 12, 2020. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2020/03/binary-system-podcast-214/</p> <p>Let’s face it, the Coronavirus is on everyone’s minds so we have to get that out of the way first. (It mostly involves us saying “WASH YOUR HANDS” a lot, spreading the word on the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ECCCOnline?src=hashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ECCConline</a> hashtag, and reminding you that you can’t use expensive vodka in place of hand sanitizer. Please drink it instead.) (Vodka we mean, not hand sanitizer.)</p> <p>But after that we decompress with the usual nerd news: Kathryn is enjoying <em>Devs</em> and <em>James May Our Man in Japan,</em> and Elizabeth is underwhelmed by <em>Picard</em> and <em>Altered Carbon.</em></p> <p>This week’s outro is a clip from <a href="https://youtu.be/GXipIE_gGBE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Antiquee</a> by Cursed. https://youtu.be/GXipIE_gGBE</p> <p>There are a a lot of clever remixes of the <a href="https://hyperallergic.com/546773/handwashing-goes-viral/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">handwashing tutorial https://hyperallergic.com/546773/handwashing-goes-viral/,</a> but our favorite is the Dune "Litany Against Fear" version. The earliest version we can find of this was posted by <a href="https://twitter.com/trgenovese/status/1235426140283523073" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Taylor R. Genovese on March 4th</a> https://hyperallergic.com/546773/handwashing-goes-viral/, but if anyone knows the creator we'd love to give them credit.</p> <p>Correction: we mentioned that Emerald City Comic Con was cancelled, it's actually been postponed to September. But as of right now you can jump on the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ECCCOnline?src=hashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ECCConline</a> hashtag on twitter to see the amazing stuff posted by artists in their online shops.</p> <p>Addition: as of today, WonderCon is also <a href="https:
