Happy New Year and welcome back to Mac Power Users.

My name is Stephen Hackett.

I'm joined by my friend and yours, Mr. David Sparks.

Hey, Stephen.

How are you?

Happy New Year, my friend.

And looking forward to another year of Mac Power Users.

Yeah, it's here.

It's January.

You know, it's very exciting. It was 75 degrees here the other day because weather doesn't make any sense. It was like a brief window into your

life in Southern California. Yeah, it's, you know, we had like a week ago, it was like up to 80,

which was not really cool for this time of year. We want it,

we want it cooler, you know, but the, but we got rain coming in into town this New Year's Eve and

it's all good. My daughter is, she does entertainment for Disney and one of her big projects this

year is the New Year's Eve at Disneyland. She helps like coordinate all that. So we were going to go in and just check on the kid at work, but it's supposed to rain. Now we've got to decide, are we going to go there in the rain? You're just into her text that you're thinking about her. You know, though, it's kind of nice in the rain there. Yeah. As long as you dress for it. Yeah. Well, yeah, so, so happy new year is the big bit of housekeeping.

But today on more power users, which is the member version of the show, it's longer and ad-free.

We're going to do a little check-in on your workshop. So you do a lot of woodworking and you have some new gear. And I am very excited to learn about it. I pulled the trigger on a thing that I can't believe I did. I can't believe I bought a thing, Stephen. I don't want to get into it right now, but I can't believe I did it. And now I can't wait for it to arrive. And unlike the

ubiquity thing, this is not my fault. Yes, it's not your fault at all. There you go.

Which is nice. In fact, maybe I can return the favor. I don't know. I'm going to try.

Oh, boy. I think you need one of these things. We'll get there.

We'll get there.

What's on the slate for today?
