Take it away, Jason.

Hey everybody, Happy New Year. Happy New Year Patrick.

Thank you.

Do you have any New Year's either resolutions or I feel like that word is abused,

but do you have anything you want to do this year? That's special?

I mean, I have tons of stuff I want to do, but I don't make them resolutions because, I mean,

we've seen in the last two years, it's very hard to predict what's going to happen.

But no, I'm not a fan of like start exercising just because the date rolled over.

Yeah, exactly.

Should always be doing it.

So is there anything really particular, like a skill you're trying to build or anything like that? Oh, man, you put me on the spot. I should have made it before. I'm sure I could have thought of something. I'll put myself on the spot. I think, you know, one of the things that I want to do is I want to get back into reading. You know, I feel like, oh, so one thing is that, you know, I'm going to probably go back into the office, into an office, you know, this month. And so it'll be an opportunity

for me to get back into reading books, which I was kind of hard to do. I was so used to doing that on my

commute. And when I lost the commute, I still read books, but just, you know,

not at the same pace. And so I want to, I want to kind of use the commute to bring that back. That's actually funny because my book of the show, I won't spoil it, is the first time, I actually got a Kindle during Black Friday sales and put a book on it. And it was the first time I, it, but a Kindle book, an ebook. It was the first time I had read something on a device like that, like not a physical book and actually like read it just like an entertainment book, not just like flip through or reference something, but actually downloaded the book, like read the book, cover to cover and, you know, did it during the breakoff between i guess christmas and new

years so yeah that'll be a good one for me too wait so this happened this year or you're saying

this was recently yeah yeah like a week ago or two weeks ago oh yeah so what's your take on e-ink

versus a display so what i will say is so i just bought the cheapest kindle because i didn't know if I would commit to doing this. And so it was a bit of an experiment. But I'll say is has a light on it. That's a game changer because you can sort of like, I would wake up in the morning and without like rolling out of bed, I'd be like, look, I don't necessarily get my phone and all that. Like I'm going to see my text my text messages and my email. Instead, I would just like pull it out and like, I'm going to just read a chapter, read, read a few pages, you know, or in the evening, the same thing. And I'll say that it sounds so goofy and everyone says it and everyone's right, which is that you have less distractions on an e-reader, and the e-ink

looks really good. So you can read it if you're in the sun or in the dark, and there's just

not other things popping up and asking for your attention or distracting you. So I don't know.

I'll let you know at the end of the year, yeah I too am striving to try to do a bit more

reading I I am not returning into the office imminently so yeah I too need to fill that hole
