Hello and welcome to Mac Power Users. My name is Stephen Hackett, and I'm joined by my friend and yours, Mr. David Sparks.

Hey, Steven. Happy New Year, buddy. Happy New Year. It's always fun starting off a new year together.

Do you get that feeling in the new year like, hey, I want to do some stuff better?

I think it's almost an irresistible force, right?

I think it is a pretty irresistible force.

But I don't know.

I don't think anything major is going to change in 2025.

I'm pretty happy with where things ended up at the end of last year, but you never know.

Yeah. My big one this year is I don't really want to reduce the amount of stuff I'm doing, but I don't want to increase it

either. And I want to spend more time doing stuff for me, like health stuff, wood shop stuff.

Sabatical.

Yeah, I will see.

You know, I'm going to do something this year.

I don't know if I want to use the word sabbatical, though,

because that's so loaded, right?

Yeah.

I mean, for people in academics and stuff,

I definitely want to take a little time off from myself.

I don't know when.

Yeah, you should.

Anyway, that's how we're here.

It's the first show of the year.
