Brought to you by Lada, SourceGraph, and Trade. My name is Mike Hurley and I'm joined by

0:19.2

Jason Snow. I'm Mike Hurley. I have some breaking news from our show document.

0:25.2

First off, the number was wrong, but you caught it. So well done. And second, we have officially,

0:31.1

well, I have officially, and you didn't revert it, moved our entire show document into Helvetica.

0:36.6

Helvetica Noia, not just Helvetica. Noia, yeah, well, I mean, because that was the option,

0:41.2

was Helvetica Noia. But if one was to this being you, look at the version history of today's

0:48.5

document, I tried on many different fonts today to see if there was something that I preferred instead.

0:55.9

I saw I tried to work out if it was possible to upload your own.org font to Google Docs and

1:00.8

just gave up on that and like basically immediately because I didn't see a plus button anywhere.

1:50.8

something that nobody who listens will ever see. But we see it. That's very important to us.

1:57.9

So well, thank you for trying on other fonts. We talked about it last time and I was kind of a

2:01.8

Paul that we had just gone in on aerial as the default choice, especially when Helvetica is right

2:07.9

there. No, yeah. And so yeah, I appreciate it. I did toy around with the headings being in

2:13.7

kind of like wacky things, not necessarily like comic sands, but I did consider like Pacifico,
