I'm Flama Driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

Okay, today is all about technology and the tools we use in R&D to do our job.

Now, the funny story is, the reason I chose this topic was I was going to try to use, I have Bluetooth in my car

and dawned me that I could use the microphone in my car to try to record a podcast. And I've had a lot

of issues. Sometimes I get loud and, you know, I thought, oh, maybe this will be the new solution.

So I said, okay, I'll use a brand new technology and then do a podcast about technology.

And so I did it yesterday and then on the way home I'm listening to it.

And right now the microphone's really close to my mouth for good or for bad.

But at least you hear me.

But when the microphone was farther away, when I got on the freeway and trucks would go by,

you just couldn't hear me because the trucks were going by.

I'm like, well, I guess hearing me is probably more important than occasionally me being loud.

So, anyway, that's the inspiration.

The funny thing is my inspiration for my technology podcast didn't work out.

So a little, I don't know, interesting.

Note about how technology sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

But I am going to do this podcast because it's a fun one.

It's actually the third time I've done it.

See, one of the things you guys don't realize is I'll do a podcast and then if something

doesn't go right, I do it again.

And so the first day I did the podcast and then I realized halfway through that I was

going to do my microphone and I forgot.
