Story Lawyer in Zoom Call Stuck With Cat Filter.

[Brick In The Wall]

"Texas lawyer Rod Ponton was left flummoxed when he discovered his face was appearing as a cat during a court session on Zoom.

As his assistant tried to rectify the issue, he can be heard saying, "I'm here live, I'm not a cat."

Tweeting about the incident, Judge Roy Ferguson, who presided over the session, said it showed "the legal community's effort to continue representing their clients in these challenging times".

"If a child used your computer, before you join a virtual hearing check the Zoom Video Options to be sure filters are off," a Texas judge said of the incident.

Just saw that on a TV program. Beyond funny.

As funny as it is, I can't help but fear the day technology will escape me to the point where something so simple will be beyond my grasp and bring me fear. In some ways this is already true for me.

I think it was some old dell program or something.

How humiliating. It was his fault for not preparing properly though. I'm super paranoid about this every time, but with technology there's only so much you can do. Sometimes it just doesn't work and then you're screwed. It's easy to laugh at some IT-illiterate old man not being able to turn off a filter, but IT problems can get a lot weirder than this and often not even the professional support guys can fix it.

The desperate look on his catface and the tortured gaze made it even funnier.
I laughed a lot about it yesterday.

Watching the video play on ABC News yesterday I laughed so much. And afterwards, I realized it'd been so long since I laughed, it felt strange to do it. It felt good as well, but mostly strange. So it was kinda bitter sweet.
