Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. I'm your host Kara Santa Maria and I want to give a shout out to two of you who

made my week by donating to the podcast. Thank you to David Eurek and thank you to Jeff Sewell. You have

recurring payment set up through my PayPal portal on my website, keros and Maria

dot com and you are amazing because you help keep talk nerdy 100% free to download and I really

need the help this week or I should say for the next few weeks probably a little

more because as I was recording this episode I got to tell you this has happened in the past

But it hasn't happened this many times. I kept getting this error message pop up on my garage band that was like

Disc too slow.

And I've kind of known for a while.

It might be time for a new laptop.

I've got a 2010 MacBook Air, and it's struggling.

That's sad, too. That's only what, like barely four or five years old,

just over four years old, and it's really struggling.

So I think that on the agenda next is to save up some money so that I can get a new laptop and produce these things appropriately.

You may notice a couple of times so there's a little bit of clipping because I had to edit together some places where you know my computer

crashed on me but hopefully you won't notice them because my editing skills are definitely

improving or at least I like to tell myself that. So yeah if you've been thinking about

going to the website going to care Santa Maria.com picking up a cool talk nerdy

t-shirt or maybe a really cool handmade mug from this amazing artist

HP Bloomer or a really beautiful handmade keychain

or a bookmark, leather crafted bookmark

from Foster Leathercraft, maybe now's the time to do it. I'm not saying it wouldn't
