Hey everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. I'm your host Kara Santa Maria. I want to take just a couple

minutes to get through a little bit of business before we start our episode today.

The very first thing I want to do, as always is I just want to thank you guys so much

for sticking with me each week, for tuning in and for supporting the podcast in the many ways that you do.

I also want to thank a few special individuals who have

donated to the podcast over the last week. I want to start by thinking Michael S. Bigelow

for making a recurring payment each month.

Thank you so much Michael. I couldn't do it without you.

I also want to thank Mark Henricsson from Berlin in Germany. I want to thank Edward Terry from

Seattle, Washington. I want to thank, well I don't know who you are. I only know the name of your company, but somebody at

L.W. Enterprises in Tyler, Texas. Thank you so much. I also want to thank James

Schoonns from South Yorkshire in the United Kingdom.

A big thank you to Kenneth Nielsen from Elmont, New York.

And as always, thank you so much to Rick Richardson

from Elmo Washington.

I also wanted to make one quick announcement

that if you go to my store,

W.W.Cara Santa Maria.com,

and click on store at the top of the page.

There is a brand new item for sale.

It's really cool.

I think it's my favorite thing that we've made so far
