You get: heinous mall fashion, a cast of WB/CW soap actors, a Hot Topic-ready soundtrack of all the hottest nu-metal acts, Paris Hilton, and the last gasps of casual misogyny and homophobia in the days before social media. House of Wax is a soulless, artless, remake in the high holy days of the horror movie remake.Dave asks the question: does the culture owe Paris Hilton an apology?

I denne uges udsendelse siger vi stort tillykke med de 40 år til den legendariske, engelske serie af opsamlinger Now That's What I Call Music. Det var nemlig tilbage i november 1983 af den første NOW 1 udkom og ændrede på måden man så på compilations. Siden da er de digitale playlister kommet til og opsamlingerne er langsomt uddøde, med undtagelse af i Storbritannien, hvor de skam lever i bedste velgående. I anledningen af den runde fødselsdag tager vi endnu engang fat i et NOW årstal, og denne har vi kastet os over NOW 1990 i den Millennium Edition som udkom tilbage i 1999. Det er, slet og ret, en fuldstændig fabelagtig samling sange, med nogle af de største hits fra det første år i 90'erne. Det betyder, at vi i dette ekstra lange afsnit får klassiske tracks fra bl.a. Sinead O'Connor, Depeche Mode, MC Hammer, Kylie Minogue, Adamski, Wilson Phillips, INXS, Maria McKee, New Order, Happy Mondays og Elton John. Derudover spiller vi hele to hits fra soundtracket til Pretty Woman, vi afslører hvilket popband Axl Rose var stor fan af i starten af 90'erne, vi forundres (stadigvæk) over musikere der ikke må være med i deres egne musikvideoer, vi forestiller os en hed romance mellem Paula Abdul og Krummeskuespiller Per Damgaard, vi snakker om en vigtig kontrakt underskrevet på Richard Bransons båd, og så mindes vi de klistermærker med Turtles vi begge havde hængende hjemme på drengeværelset.

In today's PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 79 of Owner Stories with Tyler from Minneapolis in the U.S. Having always loved sports cars, Tyler only got into Porsche quite recently. A fond memory of a ‘sports car' was his dads brand new red Chevy Cavalier. A car that Tyler though was the ‘coolest thing at the time'. This is also the car his dad taught him how to drive stick in - a car Tyler loved. Tyler only started thinking about Porsche around 2018 after seeing a very cool ‘80's Guards Red 911 on a business trip. This is not to say he never appreciated the lines and the iconic shape before then - he did. After attending an auction in 2019 (to look at Mazda Miatas) Tyler realised that it was possible to get a sports car for good money. In fact, some Miatas were even getting closer to Porsche world prices. This got Tyler thinking and searching. After enjoying his dads Cavalier Tyler owned sensible cars including Chevys and Hondas. In early 2020 the time felt right to get a ‘fun car on the side” this time Tyler decided to extend his search to Porsche and found one quite quickly. He went to view a 2001 Lapis Blue 986 Boxster and after the test drive he knew this was the car. A car he felt at one with. Tyler's Porsche journey moved forward quickly. In 2021, he decided that the ‘fun car needed a rear seat' for all the family to enjoy - his wife agreed. Tyler started the search for his first 911. The one to catch Tyler's attention was the Millennium Edition 996, a car his wife was not sold on. Moving forward the 997 generation became an option and Tyler knew what he wanted and started searching. Not long after he found one with every option on his list. His second Porsche is a ‘07 911 Carrera in black, manual with sand beige interior. The Honda Civic is gone, the Boxster is now up for sale and Tyler and his family are loving their Porsche 911.

Whistling Our Way To Windows XP

Microsoft had confusion in the Windows 2000 marketing and disappointment with Millennium Edition, which was built on a kernel that had run its course. It was time to phase out the older 95, 98, and Millennium code. So in 2001, Microsoft introduced Windows NT 5.1, known as Windows XP (eXperience). XP came in a Home or Professional edition.  Microsoft built a new interface they called Whistler for XP. It was sleeker and took more use of the graphics processors of the day. Jim Allchin was the Vice President in charge of the software group by then and helped spearhead development. XP had even more security options, which were simplified in the home edition. They did a lot of work to improve the compatibility between hardware and software and added the option for fast user switching so users didn't have to log off completely and close all of their applications when someone else needed to use the computer. They also improved on the digital media experience and added new libraries to incorporate DirectX for various games.  Professional edition also added options that were more business focused. This included the ability to join a network and Remote Desktop without the need of a third party product to take control of the keyboard, video, and mouse of a remote computer. Users could use their XP Home Edition computer to log into work, if the network administrator could forward the port necessary. XP Professional also came with the ability to support multiple processors, send faxes, an encrypted file system, more granular control of files and other objects (including GPOs), roaming profiles (centrally managed through Active Directory using those GPOs), multiple language support, IntelliMirror (an oft forgotten centralized management solution that included RIS and sysprep for mass deployments), an option to do an Automated System Recovery, or ASR restore of a computer. Professional also came with the ability to act as a web server, not that anyone should run one on a home operating system. XP Professional was also 64-bit given the right processor. XP Home Edition could be upgraded to from Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Millineum, and XP Professional could be upgraded to from any operating system since Windows 98 was released., including NT 4 and Windows 2000 Professional. And users could upgrade from Home to Professional for an additional $100.   Microsoft also fixed a few features. One that had plagued users was that they had to gracefully unmount a drive before removing it; Microsoft got in front of this when they removed the warning that a drive was disconnected improperly and had the software take care of that preemptively. They removed some features users didn't really use like NetMeeting and Phone Dialer and removed some of the themes options. The 3D Maze was also sadly removed. Other options just cleaned up the interface or merged technologies that had become similar, like Deluxe CD player and DVD player were removed in lieu of just using Windows Media Player. And chatty network protocols that caused problems like NetBEUI and AppleTalk were removed from the defaults, as was the legacy Microsoft OS/2 subsystem. In general, Microsoft moved from two operating system code bases to one. Although with the introduction of Windows CE, they arguably had no net-savings. However, to the consumer and enterprise buyer, it was a simpler licensing scheme. Those enterprise buyers were more and more important to Microsoft. Larger and larger fleets gave them buying power and the line items with resellers showed it with an explosion in the number of options for licensing packs and tiers. But feature-wise Microsoft had spent the Microsoft NT and Windows 2000-era training thousands of engineers on how to manage large fleets of Windows machines as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSE) and other credentials. Deployments grew and by the time XP was released, Microsoft had the lions' share of the market for desktop operating systems and productivity apps. XP would only cement that lead and create a generation of systems administrators equipped to manage the platform, who never knew a way other than the Microsoft way. One step along the path to the MCSE was through servers. For the first couple of years, XP connected to Windows 2000 Servers. Windows Server 2003, which was built on the Windows NT 5.2 kernel, was then released in 2003. Here, we saw Active Directory cement a lead created in 2000 over servers from Novell and other vendors. Server 2003 became the de facto platform for centralized file, print, web, ftp, software  time, DHCP, DNS, event, messeging, and terminal services (or shared Remote Desktop services through Terminal Server). Server 2003 could also be purchased with Exchange 2003. Given the integration with Microsoft Outlook and a number of desktop services, Microsoft Exchange.  The groupware market in 2003 and the years that followed were dominated by Lotus Notes, Novell's GroupWise, and Exchange. Microsoft was aggressive. They were aggressive on pricing. They released tools to migrate from Notes to Exchange the week before IBM's conference. We saw some of the same tactics and some of the same faces that were involved in Microsoft's Internet Explorer anti-trust suit from the 1990s. The competition to Change never recovered and while Microsoft gained ground in the groupware space through the Exchange Server 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 eras, by Exchange 2019 over half the mailboxes formerly hosted by on premises Exchange servers had moved to the cloud and predominantly Microsoft's Office 365 cloud service. Some still used legacy Unix mail services like sendmail or those hosted by third party providers like GoDaddy with their domain or website - but many of those ran on Exchange as well. The only company to put up true competition in the space has been Google. Other companies had released tools to manage Windows devices en masse. Companies like Altiris sprang out of needs for companies who did third party software testing to manage the state of Windows computers. Microsoft had a product called Systems Management Server but Altiris built a better product, so Microsoft built an even more robust solution called System Center Configuration Management server, or SCCM for short, and within a few years Altiris lost so much business they were acquired by Symantec. Other similar stories played out across other areas where each product competed with other vendors and sometimes market segments - and usually won. To a large degree this was because of the tight hold Windows had on the market. Microsoft had taken the desktop metaphor and seemed to own the entire stack by the end of the Windows XP era. However, the technology we used was a couple of years after the product management and product development teams started to build it. And by the end of the XP era, Bill Gates had been gone long enough, and many of the early stars that almost by pure will pushed products through development cycles were as well. Microsoft continued to release new versions of the operating systems but XP became one of the biggest competitors to later operating systems rather than other companies. This reluctance to move to Vista and other technologies was the main reason extended support for XP through to 2012, around 11 years after it was released.

The first operating systems as we might think of them today (or at least anything beyond a basic task manager) shipped in the form of Multics in 1969. Some of the people who worked on that then helped created Unix at Bell Labs in 1971. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Unix flowed to education, research, and corporate environments through minicomputers and many in those environments thought a flavor of BSD, or Berkeley Software Distribution, might become the operating system of choice on microcomputers. But the microcomputer movement had a while other plan if only in spite of the elder minicomputers. Apple DOS was created in 1978 in a time when most companies who made computers had to mail their own DOS as well, if only so software developers could built disks capable of booting the machines. Microsoft created their Disk Operating System, or MS-DOS, in 1981. They proceeded to Windows 1 to sit on top of MS-DOS in 1985, which was built in Intel's 8086 assembler and called operating system services via interrupts. That led to poor programmers locking down points in order to access memory addresses and written assuming a single-user operating system. Then came Windows 2 in 1987, Windows 3 in 1992, and released one of the most anticipated operating systems of all time in 1995 with Windows 95. 95 turned into 98, and then Millineum in 2000. But in the meantime, Microsoft began work on another generation of operating systems based on a fusion of ideas between work they were doing with IBM, work architects had done at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and rethinking all of it with modern foundations of APIs and layers of security sitting atop a kernel. Microsoft worked on OS/2 with IBM from 1985 to 1989. This was to be the IBM-blessed successor of the personal computer. But IBM was losing control of the PC market with the rise of cloned IBM architectures. IBM was also big, corporate, and the small, fledgeling Microsoft was able to move quicker. Really small companies that find success often don't mesh well with really big companies that have layers of bureaucracy. The people Microsoft originally worked with were nimble and moved quickly. The ones presiding over the massive sales and go to market efforts and the explosion in engineering team size was back to the old IBM. OS/2 had APIs for most everything the computer could do. This meant that programmers weren't just calling assembly any time they wanted and invading whatever memory addresses they wanted. They also wanted preemptive multitasking and threading. And a file system since by then computers had internal hard drives. The Microsoft and IBM relationship fell apart and Microsoft decided to go their own way. Microsoft realized that DOS was old and building on top of DOS was going to some day be a big, big problem. Windows 3 was closer, as was 95, so they continued on with that plan. But they started something similar to what we'd call a fork of OS/2 today. So Gates went out to recruit the best in the industry. He hired Dave Cutler from Digital Equipment to take on the architecture of the new operating system. Cutler had worked on the VMS operating system and helped lead efforts for next-generation operating system at DEC that they called MICA. And that moment began the march towards a new operating system called NT, which borrowed much of the best from VMS, Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 - and had little baggage. Microsoft was supposed to make version 3 of OS/2 but NT OS/2 3.0 would become just Windows NT when Microsoft stopped developing on OS/2. It took 12 years, because um, they had a loooooot of customers after the wild success of first Windows 3 and then Windows 95, but eventually Cutler and team's NT would replace all other operating systems in the family with the release of Windows 2000. Cutler wanted to escape the confines of what was by then the second largest computing company in the world. Cutler worked on VMS and RSX-12 before he got to Microsoft. There were constant turf battles and arguments about microkernels and system architecture and meetings weren't always conducive with actually shipping code. So Cutler went somewhere he could. At least, so long as they kept IBM at bay. Cutler brought some of the team from Digital with him and they got to work on that next generation of operating systems in 1988. They sat down to decide what they wanted to build, using the NS OS/2 operating system they had a starting point. Microsoft had sold Xenix and the team knew about most every operating system on the market at the time. They wanted a multi-user environment like a Unix. They wanted programming APIs, especially for networking, but different than what BSD had. In fact, many of the paths and structures of networking commands in Windows still harken back to emulating those structures. The system would be slow on the 8086 processor, but ever since the days of Xerox PARC, everyone knew Moore's Law was real and that the processors would double in speed every other year. Especially since Moore was still at Intel and could make his law remain true with the 286 and 386 chips in the pipeline. They also wanted the operating system to be portable since IBM selected the Intel CPU but there were plenty of other CPU architectures out there as well. The original name for NT was to be OS/2 3.0. But the IBM and Microsoft relationship fell apart and the two companies took their operating systems in different directions. OS/2 became went the direction of Warp and IBM never recovered. NT went in a direction where some ideas came over from Windows 95 or 3.1 but mostly the team just added layers of APIs and focused on making NT a fully 32-bit version of Windows that could that could be ported to other platforms including ARM, PowerPC, and the DEC Alpha that Cutler had exposure to from his days at Digital. The name became Windows NT and NT began with version 3, as it was in fact the third installment of OS/2. The team began with Cutler and a few others, grew to eight and by the time it finally shipped as NT 3.1 in 1993 there were a few hundred people working on the project. Where Windows 95 became the mass marketed operating system, NT took lessons learned from the Unix, IBM mainframe, and VMS worlds and packed them into an operating system that could run on a corporate desktop computer, as microcomputers were called by then. The project cost $150 million, about the same as the first iPhone. It was a rough start. But that core team and those who followed did what Apple couldn't in a time when a missing modern operating system nearly put Apple out of business. Cutler inspired, good managers drove teams forward, some bad managers left, other bad managers stayed, and in an almost agile development environment they managed to break through the conflicts and ship an operating system that didn't actually seem like it was built by a committee. Bill Gates knew the market and was patient enough to let NT 3 mature. They took the parts of OS/2 like LAN Manager. They took parts of Unix like ping. But those were at the application level. The microkernel was the most important part. And that was a small core team, like it always is. The first version they shipped to the public was Windows NT 3.1. The sales people found it easiest to often say that NT was the business-oriented operating system. Over time, the Windows NT series was slowly enlarged to become the company's general-purpose OS product line for all PCs, and thus Microsoft abandoned the Windows 9x family, which might or might not have a lot to do with the poor reviews Millennium Edition had. Other aspects of the application layer the original team didn't do much with included the GUI, which was much more similar to Windows 3.x. But based on great APIs they were able to move faster than most, especially in that era where Unix was in weird legal territory, changing hands from Bell to Novell, and BSD was also in dubious legal territory. The Linux kernel had been written in 1991 but wasn't yet a desktop-class operating system. So the remaining choices most business considered were really Mac, which had serious operating system issues at the time and seemed to lack a vision since Steve Jobs left the company, or Windows. Windows NT 3.5 was introduced in 1994, followed by 3.51 a year later. During those releases they shored up access control lists for files, functions, and services. Services being similar in nearly every way to a process in Unix. It sported a TCP/IP network stack but also NetBIOS for locating computers to establish a share and a file sharing stack in LAN Manager based on the Server Message Block, or SMB protocol that Barry Feigenbaum wrote at IBM in 1983 to turn a DOS computer into a file server. Over the years, Microsoft and 3COM add additional functionality and Microsoft added the full Samba with LDAP out of the University of Michigan as a backend and Kerberos (out of MIT) to provide single sign-on services. 3.51 also brought a lot of user-mode components from Windows 95. That included the Windows 95 common control library, which included the rich edit control, and a number of tools for developers. NT could run DOS software, now they were getting it to run Windows 95 software without sacrificing the security of the operating system where possible. It kinda' looked like a slightly more boring version of 95. And some of the features were a little harder to use, like configuring a SCSI driver to get a tape drive to work. But they got the ability to run Office 95 and it was the last version that ran the old Program Manager graphical interface. Cutler had been joined by Moshe Dunie, who led the management side of NT 3.1, through NT 4 and became the VP of the Windows Operating System Division so also had responsibility for Windows 98 and 2000. For perspective, that operating system group grew to include 3,000 badged Microsoft employees and about half that number of contractors. Mark Luovsky and Lou Perazzoli joined from Digital. Jim Alchin came in from Banyan Vines. Windows NT 4.0 was released in 1996, with a GUI very similar to Windows 95. NT 4 became the workhorse of the field that emerged for large deployments of computers we now refer to as enterprise computing. It didn't have all the animation-type bells and whistles of 95 but did perform about as well as any operating system could. It had the NT Explorer to browse files, a Start menu, for which many of us just clicked run and types cmd. It had a Windows Desktop Update and a task scheduler. They released a number of features that would take years for other vendors to catch up with. The DCOM, or Distributed Component Object Modeling and Object Linking & Embedding (or OLE) was a core aspect any developer had to learn. The Telephony API (or TAPI) allowed access to the modem. The Microsoft Transaction Server allowed developers to build network applications on their own sockets. The Crypto API allowed developers to encrypt information in their applications. The Microsoft Message Queuing service allowed queuing data transfer between services. They also built in DirectX support and already had OpenGL support. The Task Manager in NT 4 was like an awesome graphical version of the top command on Unix. And it came with Internet Explorer 2 built in. NT 4 would be followed by a series of service packs for 4 years before the next generation of operating system was ready. That was Windows 5, or more colloquially called Windows 2000. In those years NT became known as NT Workstation, the server became known as NT Server, they built out Terminal Server Edition in collaboration with Citrix. And across 6 service packs, NT became the standard in enterprise computing. IBM released OS/2 Warp version 4.52 in 2001, but never had even a fraction of the sales Microsoft did. By contrast, NT 5.1 became Windows XP and 6 became Vista in while OS/2 was cancelled in 2005.

Adobe delivers two large updates every year, one of which arrived in late June with lots of new features. In Short Circuits: Microsoft seems to be suggesting that the Control Panel will eventually be removed from Windows 10. That will happen only after all Control Panel functions are migrated to the Settings app, and that's something developers have been working on for a decade. In Spare Parts (only on the website): The seeming illogic of selecting a Wi-Fi channel for your router has a basis in logic. • Microsoft continues its push to get Windows users to at least give the new Edge browser a try. • Twenty years ago: Microsoft was about to start shipping the Millennium Edition of Windows, and I thought it would be an improvement over Windows 98.

After working for some of the biggest tech companies in the world, Nate Bucholz was ready to leave his Google and Facebook roots behind for something smaller and an opportunity to experiment and move fast. He found that opportunity at Cardlytics, where he serves as the Vice President, eCommerce Partnerships. In this role, Nate and his team are working in new and exciting ways on a platform for an industry that isn’t typically considered new or exciting. Cardlytics works exclusively with banks to build their digital and eCommerce platforms, connect with customers and create rewards programs that lead to mutually beneficial relationships between customer and company. And to do all this, Nate and his team are analyzing troves of data and using technology in unique ways to truly perfect the digital experience for all involved. On this episode of Up Next in Commerce, Nate explains it all, including what data is the most telling and how to utilize said data in the best ways possible while also building and maintaining trust among all parties involved. Key Takeaways: Forget metrics about who and how many people are on your platform and really hone in on where they are laying out their money. Then use that data to decide where your marketing dollars should be spent Using anonymized data, you should isolate data sets and analyze specific behaviors to predict who might leave your platform or service, then create an action that will make them stick around The ROI from purchase behavior insights comes when you change your targeting practices based on the data you collect For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

This is your host Stephanie Postles, and today I'm joined by Nate Bucholz. Nate, thanks for coming on the show. Nate: I'm happy to be here. Thanks for having me. Stephanie: Yeah, and where are you in the world today? Nate: I am sitting in my office/guest bedroom in Alameda, California. Stephanie: Yeah, keeping all the kids out as best you can. Right? Nate: The door knob rattles, but it is locked so we should be safe, I hope. Stephanie: We'll see. Yeah, once all this is over, it'll be nice to be able to bring people back to our studio and not have to do bedroom meetings anymore, but for now we'll make it work. Nate: Sounds very scandalous, but yes. Stephanie: It is a little scandalous. So I'd love to hear a little bit about, actually, I want to go back, back background on you. I want to start in the early days because I saw where it led up to, of working at Google, and Facebook, and where you're at now at Cardlytics, and I actually was wondering, I'm like, what is Nate's first job he had because everything else looks amazing. Was he working out on a firm when he was little? What was your first job? Nate: I was a dishwasher at a local restaurant in Lake Oswego, Oregon where I grew up. Stephanie: Oh, that's awesome. Nate: Worked my way up to busboy and waiter at some point. Stephanie: Very cool. Yeah, I think a lot of us started out in those kind of, I was a silverware roller, and so I would just roll silverware for eight hours a day. And I asked to be a hostess and they were like, "No, you can't be a hostess yet. I mean, you're not that senior." Nate: You've got to earn that. Stephanie: Yeah. It was good times. So you went to University of Oregon, right? Nate: I did, yeah. I did my undergrad there and then went on to work in public relations for a little bit. I had the, not so enviable job of getting good press coverage about Windows in Millennium Edition which is quite old now, but it was pretty the bad operating system and that was my first time- Stephanie: Oh, man. Nate: ... post college job. Stephanie: I'm sure you learned how to be pretty scrappy in that job though, don't you think? Nate: Yeah. I mean, there's always something good I think that you can find or an audience for a product if you can find the right one. After that I was in the Peace Corps for a couple of years in Ukraine doing business development and volunteer work. And then I came back for graduate school here in the Bay Area at the hospice and school at UC Berkeley. Stephanie: That's Cool. And then did you head right to Google after that or was there something between? Nate: I did, yeah, there was a brief internship, but after getting my MBA I went on to Google, in a travel vertical, or their travel vertical, I should say, up in the Seattle office. Nate: I was going to say that I was with Google for quite a long time, almost 11 years, and got to move around in a good way quite a bit. So I started out in Seattle and travel, then moved over to our London office for four years where I led a sales team there and so I oversaw the advertising sales for airlines and car rental. And then my wife and I had a son while we were in London and it kind of changed the lifestyle a little bit. We decided to get back to the US, moved back to the Bay Area, in retail-focused industry, mostly e-commerce, for about a year and a half, and then, actually, the last intake Google was in Malaysia where I was in the office in Kuala Lumpur looking after the branding and YouTube partnerships. Stephanie: Oh, wow. Very cool. What was that experience like? Nate: It was great overall, personally, it was amazing. We had this amazing expat lifestyle where our son was in this wonderful private school, we had lots of travel and so forth. Professionally, it was a real challenge, there were some of my, I'd say professional strengths that kind of turned into weaknesses in a different environment. Being quite loud and outspoken, and non deferential, didn't apply necessarily so well in some of the situations over there. But I mean, it was great. It was a good learning. Nate: At the same time my whole career had been and is now, once again, focused on more direct response marketing. And I had jumped not only into a new geography but also into the more brand forward environment working with Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble and kind of the sort of traditional marketing that would have been on TV before, and online now is more about reach and frequency rather than getting people to buy things immediately. So that was also a new world. Stephanie: Got it. So then you quickly decided to head back to your e-commerce marketing type roots and go to Facebook afterwards? Nate: I did. So it was a finite assignment over in Malaysia and when I came back with Google I kind of felt like I was coming back to the same thing that I had left and I wanted to do something different. Facebook offered me a role, very similar but leading the team that that worked with one of their very largest advertisers. And that was more of a product heavy role in terms of working with the product teams to build things that would allow the largest, most sophisticated advertisers to grow their spend more. Nate: It was interesting, there were a couple of things that prompted me to leave. Which one was, it was very similar to Google, which is a wonderful thing, but you're part of a giant machine and it's hard to feel like you have a real big impact. And at the time, though they've changed this and allowed people to work from their San Francisco offices as well. I was commuting down to Silicon Valley from Alameda, which is about an hour and a half each way. So- Stephanie: Yeah. No, thank you. Nate: ... it's kind of brutal. And actually a colleague at Facebook connected me to someone they knew at this company I had never heard of, Cardlytics. It's a ad platform, much like Google and Facebook, except it operates entirely on banking channels. So if you log into Bank of America or Chase, Wells Fargo, one of many, many banks, you'll see offers from different companies for some sort of incentive to purchase like a cashback rewards or something like this. And that's where we operate. Nate: And it's a much smaller company for one so I enjoy feeling like I have a bigger impact, but the common thread through these three companies that they all sit on an amazing trove of data. So Cardlytics can analyze the purchase behavior of about half of the credit and debit card swipes in the US and we're in the UK as well. Stephanie: Wow. That's a lot. Nate: It is. It's amazing. And so I've learned from Facebook and Google that when you've got an amazing first-party data set, then you can kind of get a seat at the big kind of table and so it's a lot of fun to analyze that and see how it can apply to marketing. Stephanie: That's cool. Were there any learnings that you had from Google and Facebook that you kind of brought with you or best practices when working with large brands or a large e-commerce like store owners that you saw where you're like, Oh, a lot of people were doing this and we noticed that was actually the wrong move, or here's some best practices we learned from the top brands that smaller brands could apply, that you maybe brought with you to Cardlytics? Nate: Yeah, I mean, the first thing that I tried to do with my team when I came into Cardlytics was change the mindset about what is big and the impact that we could have. So we'd gone from this really small company to now, there's about 400 employees, and we've been public for about a year and a half, but it's still pretty early, pretty young. And I think a lot of the Cardlytics employees had viewed the going public as, Hey, we've reached the big time and we've made it. And I kind of tried to share this viewpoint of the ad budgets, the marketing budgets that are out there, the potential for growth that I saw at Facebook and Google to really kind of pay them big I would say. Nate: And I also saw that because Cardlytics is a different sort of advertising platform, but a lot of the language was language that we spoke internally and we have kind of impressed that upon the marketing teams and so there was a lot lost in translation. So I think one thing, Facebook and Google have almost been able to use their own language because they're so large, but it's become industry standard and we need to conform to that to make it easy for marketers to make apples to apples comparisons when they're thinking about their budgets and how they spend it. But there's been an evolution. So I started Google in 2007 and at that time it was all about search and it was all about clicks and- Stephanie: And still is. Nate: Well, it is, it got more sophisticated though, you know what I mean? Stephanie: No, no. I mean, I just left, let's see, two years ago from Google and I still feel like they're so heavy on search. Nate: This is true but it was the greatest sales job in the world. I'd go in, I'd say, well, you got a hundred clicks, but your competitive group got 200 clicks so let's go ahead and double your clicks. Here's the budget that'll do that for you. But it evolved, it went to measuring the money that was spent off of each click for example, looking at your conversion rates and getting into the mobile experience, trying to get marketers to catch up to consumers in terms of the fact that everybody was shopping on their phones or a good enough amount of people to warrant some serious attention. Nate: And then moving on over to Facebook, because Google had that first mover advantage of everything being based off of what you see from the click, it was trying to open up people's eyes that there's more than just last click when you look at an attribution model, that there's a lot of influence that happens prior to that. And Facebook always, we always said internally they figured they were undervalued by like 30% because of all this view through attribution that they're losing. Nate: And then ironically getting people to stop targeting so granularly, even though it's possible to let the machine do its work and start doing machine learning, based targeting so that Facebook could open up its inventory more. And I think that the evolution, and I'm definitely biased obviously, these are the moves that I've made in my career, but part of the reason I've made these moves is I see the next stage of marketing getting more and more rigorous about what is actually bringing an impact. This is why it was so hard when I was doing branding work in Malaysia. It was not so much a return that was required, but a reach and frequency, and it didn't really matter how that was gained. Nate: It was just, let's hit a lot of eyeballs a lot of times, and Cardlytics is on a totally other end of the spectrum where it's not even about your interests online. It's just, where do you lay down the money, on what sort of categories, what have you done in the past, what's the basket size and the frequency, and these sorts of things. I think that's a natural evolution of marketing as you get better data, you're able to cut out the waste more and more and get more efficient. At least that's the idea. Stephanie: Yeah. How do you see marketing spend evolving over the next couple of years when it comes to measurement and ROI? Do you think it'll change how people think about things? Like you said, they used to just think about clicks and maybe impressions and then they started niching down a bit and wanting to actually target maybe who their customer is, and where do you see that heading over the next five years? Nate: Five years is a long time to make- Stephanie: I was going to say 10. Nate: Oh, my gosh but yeah. It'll be implanted in my retina somehow in my screen. I think, obviously I'm talking to you now from my guest bedroom and there's this whole pandemic going on. These kinds of catalyst events are what I think make large vector changes in things that would happen slowly over time anyway, right? There's a shift to digital over time. If all of a sudden everyone's TVs had exploded, there would have been a faster shift. And I think that the fact that a lot of marketers have either pulled back their spend or just paused all spend entirely, means that there's going to be a whole new shift when they go back to whatever the new normal is because you're going to look at every channel from a totally fresh perspective. Nate: And obviously things have shifted online more and I have some interesting stats that I can share about that as well. There's been this online shift of people who maybe had never purchased groceries online or maybe they were happy just with their broadband cable and now they're doing all sorts of streaming services, whatever it may be. So I think online is going to benefit a lot as people see that they didn't have such a huge downswing or maybe they didn't notice a big change when they canceled some channels and not others. Nate: But I also think over time, and we were really good selling with data at Facebook and Google to explain why more and more money should be shifted through those channels. And they weren't bad decisions but there are a lot of other marketing channels out there. Obviously, Cardlytics is one on my mind but there are several that have the scale and have the data to challenge some parts of the marketing budgets that have just almost, not mindlessly, but I don't know if they've followed the trends to shift to Facebook and Google. Nate: And so both of those channels have diminishing returns. Like your first audience that you target on Facebook will have amazing ROI and pretty soon you're going to get a look alike audience and pretty soon you're going to just kind of expand it out and the ROI falls as you do that because it's a less rich pool of potential consumers. And it's the same thing with Google, if you think about the keywords and for some reason I use running shoes as an analogy a lot, but that first keyword that says, I want to purchase running shoes today, will have an amazing return if you bid on that. Nate: But there's only so many and if you want to grow, pretty soon you're bidding on tips for healthy lifestyle or something like that. You're still trying to sell some shoes, but it takes a lot more clicks to get those shoes sold. And so one of two main points that we try to make when we speak to marketers is, Hey, listen, you'll be fired if you don't advertise this on Facebook and Google because they're amazing channels and you should use them. But there's a point where just because it's easy doesn't mean you pump more money into those. You need to take the lowest performing set of your marketing spend and see where else you can put it. So that's a lot of the conversations that I'm having these days. Stephanie: So you said you have access or, Cardlytics has access to lots of data and I think right now is a perfect time to wonder what kind of spending habits are happening in this COVID environment? What are the changes occurring? What are people spending on? What kind of info do you have to share around that if any? Nate: I have some interesting info. So we have a great marketing team but what I meant to say was, also we have a great analytics team and no more than a week into this stay at home lock down that most of us are experiencing, they built this dashboard where we're looking at quite granular categories and how the spend is changing year on year, updating every week, looking at all the different DMAs in the United States, and so we can see what happened. And right around the beginning of March, all spend everywhere just plummeted, as you'd expect, online as well. And if you look it's quite a depressing heat map. It's just a red United States with various shades of red. Stephanie: Yeah. As expected I guess, but still sad. Nate: It was sad, it was sad. However, we've seen some interesting shifts and there's some that are pretty obvious, like people shifted to online grocery for example. There are others that are coming in that I think are kind of interesting and you saw where it was quite depressed in the home improvement category for example. And now online for home improvement has gone up like 64% last I saw, and you'd see where there's this trough of people not doing anything and hunkering down and then all of a sudden they start spending on their homes. What happened- Stephanie: Oh yeah. Getting all handy at home. I can- Nate: Exactly. Stephanie: I started looking at things being like, could I fix that? No. But it's a good idea. Nate: Following home improvement was when parents I think started to lose it a little bit and so the online toy purchases and kids' products have gone up significantly. We just bought a small kitty pool to put in the backyard as we realized we can't go anywhere else. Stephanie: Yeah, I bought into that as well. I bought a, let's see, a scooter for my two year old, a lawn mower bubble machine. I'm like, anything that helps, here just take it. Nate: Absolutely. Exactly. So health and beauty has gone up a lot and pet goods up a hundred percent. A lot of that is shifting from offline to online, but that's one that happened almost right away. And so you see, and I guess these aren't surprising, it's following what you'd think of in human behavior, but make sure the kids are occupied and, Oh my God, what if we run out of pet food? And so that's gone up quite a lot. Nate: But I think the bit about online versus offline was a little bit surprising to me, but I suppose makes sense. And lends itself to how I think marketing is going to change, is how it's changed geographically over the United States. So if you look at online spend year on year, it's gone up across the United States, but on the coasts, especially if you think of DMAs like San Francisco and New York, it hasn't gone up as much because I would hypothesize there's not as much change in behavior that's really needed. People are already buying largely online. Nate: If you look at the smaller DMAs, especially the more in the middle of the United States and just smaller city areas, they've spiked a lot more. And so their year on year changes are more toward the high, not high, but mid double digits increases in online spend. So that's one of those catalysts like I mentioned where maybe people were just fine doing their brick and mortar shopping because that's what they were used to and their peers and people around them in their communities were kind of doing the same thing. This has really changed the behavior specifically in these smaller DMAs. And that's where I think after this whole thing is over, you'll see a level rise in e-commerce. Some people will go back to their old behaviors, but I think a lot of them will stick. Nate: And I was reading an article of some, there was a financial article and this guy was, I think he managed a hedge fund or something like this, and he was writing about how shocked he was at how easy online banking was, which is like, well, I've been doing that for a long time, but there's some people that were just stuck in their old ways. And once people realized that it's quite easy to get your groceries delivered online or to do whatever shopping it is online, online banking, we've seen an increase, which has obviously helped Cardlytics since that's our whole platform, is online banking. Nate: But I think those customers, some of them will stick around and the challenge for marketers that we're starting to talk about now is, Hey, if you are lucky enough to see an increase in your category, as soon as things start going back to normal and businesses start opening up in reality, like brick and mortar, how do you retain those customers? And I think that'll be a big challenge for marketers just to hold onto as much as they can of whatever they've gotten from this if they're online already. Stephanie: Is there any advice during that transition of like, here's some ideas of what you could do to kind of keep that clientele? Because I could see you're saying the more urban areas who maybe were not online before, having to use different messaging for them to convince them, this is still the way, which it probably is. Like online banking, whenever my parents were like, I'm headed to the bank to cash a check, I'm like, Duh, why? And they're like, I'm not doing that on the phone they might take my data. And I'm like, okay, go ahead. You drive 15 minutes to go cash your check mom. But is there any different advice that you would give for those kinds of communities who maybe weren't online for certain things before versus other ones that didn't really change as much? Nate: Yeah. I mean, it's going to be, a loyalty marketers are going to be in their sweet spot where that'd assist building that, but there's a lot of companies that we work with that are all focused on customer acquisition, and they're loath I think to spend advertising dollars on existing customers because they already have their access to these customers, whether it's a mailing list or whatever it might be. But the reality is a lot of those emails aren't opened or bounce or for whatever reason. I mean, even Amazon advertises quite a bit with us and just because you have people shopping in one business area doesn't mean that it's easy to get them to shift to another business area. Right? Nate: So what we've been saying is, before these people leave let's anticipate who's likely to leave and we're looking into models for propensity to churn, for example. So we can look at who stops using a certain service or stop subscribing, and then look back at six months and when I say who, this is all anonymized data. By no means do I know you and your bank account. I would know bank account, 5632 or whatever it might be and a whole group of them, but what is the change in purchase behavior that happens leading up to this and then who can we identify that hasn't yet churned but is starting to exemplify that sort of behavior. And so you can start isolating groups that maybe haven't reached this type of loyalty that means they're going to stick around. Nate: And it could be as simple as just analyzing your own data as a marketer and seeing what's the average frequency of purchasing or the spend amount of those who have stuck around for a long time. And then those who are, we call them one and done, right? They try the service because they have some offer and then they're gone. And the people that are still beneath that threshold, whatever it is that you designate, are the ones that you need to invest in and hit up with a message before they go away. Stephanie: Got it. What are your views on how e-commerce is going to change after all this is done? I know that certain people will be doing more things online, some of them might drift back to their old methods. Is there any other things that you see happening or changing for good or are new things coming about over the next year or two after this kind of calms down? Nate: Speaking as just a consumer one thing that's been convenient I would say is, I'd like the ability to go into a store of course, but those that are open, that do curbside pickup and things like this, they all want payment beforehand online, right? So there's no contact between two people. I think I could see a mesh of online and offline happening a lot more frequently where you've already selected whatever it is that you want, maybe you've already made your payments, whatever it is. So that when you go into the store, it's more like an Amazon store almost where you go in and you get your goods and you just leave. Right? Nate: So using technology even in the brick and mortar environment to make a more seamless process and it can allow for maybe fewer lines, better customer service, that sort of thing. I think on the marketing side, e-commerce is nothing new, but I think this shift is going to mean even those that had topical knowledge of things like measuring incrementality or looking at the analytics of their marketing programs, they're going to be forced to dig in even more because it's just going to have a shift in importance and you can no longer be on the surface and do your marketing. I think there's going to be a requirement to dig in a little bit deeper on the numbers and know the impact of your marketing. Which I guess is a natural trend anyway, but as I said I think this will accelerate that. Stephanie: Yeah, completely agree. So you said you have 50% of insight into the spend in the US with people moving to more banking online. Where do you guys project yourselves to be within a couple of months? Do you think you'll have 60%, 70%? What are you thinking? Nate: Well, the percentages is derived from the banks that we have partnerships with. I'd love to say they're nimble and quick to form these agreements, but it takes a long time. But Cardlytics, when I joined, or I guess for most of its history it was this long tail of credit unions, there is something around 2000 financial institutions in our network, but it's a really, really, really long tail. The anchor partnership that we had was Bank of America, and then early last year we brought Chase on as a partner, and then Wells Fargo and later this year will be US Bank. So it will grow but it happens slowly over time. The shift online just means that there's going to be more people who are, hopefully, interacting with these offers and looking a little more closely at their finances and hopefully, using our ad network kind of more regularly I suppose. Stephanie: Got it. How does that partnership work? Because I was reading through that you guys partner with the banks and you run their rewards programs, right? And in turn you have access to the data and all that. Can you explain that a little bit more because it's a super intriguing model, but it also sounds very complicated where I'm like, wait, who's doing what? And so you guys are running rewards programs, and you're doing marketing stuff. How well does all that work? Nate: Yes. So we kind of think of it as three groups that that can benefit. So you've got Cardlytics and we take in advertising revenue, which is wonderful and we like that. You've got the bank and the reason the banks are motivated to do this with us is because they get to offer something to their customers that's a value add. So we call them offers rather than ads, which they are. And so a logo that'll allow you to have say, 10% back if you go and purchase with a certain company. Nate: And from the bank's perspective, they're differentiating themselves from some of their peers who might not offer this. And a customer comes on and says, Oh, well, because I'm a customer of Chase, look what they're offering me, this 10% back or $5 back or whatever it may be. And in fact, when you do get your money placed back into your account, the money comes from the bank. So this is why the average consumer hasn't heard of Cardlytics, because Cardlytics is simply the, I guess the technology behind the platform and the Salesforce to bring on these brands. Nate: And so we will share some of the revenue that we bring in with the banks, but a large portion of what we share goes to the customers. So I think we've rewarded something more than $500 million in these rewards over the course of when the company's been doing this, which is great. And then we retain a portion as well. Stephanie: Okay. Got it. And then how do you take that data that you have access to? What do you do with that afterwards? Nate: Right, so the data, it all remains behind the bank firewall and when we analyze it at all, as I said, is anonymous as far as who it is. But we can look down to spend at a zip code level and we look at category spend and all this. The way we do it is in a couple of ways, primarily it's to target. So we might say, Hey, we know people that like to buy pet food but they've never bought pet food with your company, and we'll show an ad. We can get quite granular with that. We might say someone who did buy from your company six months ago but then hasn't bought since is a lapsed customer so let's target them. Nate: At the end of the campaign a big differentiator is that we'll actually look at the incremental impact of the ad.So we'll do a holdout group, and it's just a test versus control, which is not totally uncommon in marketing, but the difference is we know who's spending the money and who's not spending the money. And so we'll take this holdout group, we'll make sure that the way that they spend is the same as the test group by and large over the past year or so. And then we'll just look at the lift in spend between those who saw the ad and those who didn't, and the idea is that it would take into account anything you're doing on TV, on Facebook, on Google. So at the end of it you can actually say, well, what was the incremental gain that I got for the money that I spent? Nate: And incrementality is tossed around a little bit, but at an analytical level, at a 95% statistical confidence, you can actually see what the impact is of the ad spend, which is kind of the- Stephanie: The goal? Nate: The end goal. Right. And so that's quite interesting, and then I would say the targeting and the measurement are the primary ways that we use the data but we'll also work with some of our advertising partners to show a different business insights. And we can look at where the, if you shifted spend to you, where did it come from and how did that change over time or we can look even at, for brick and mortar companies, we've helped them decide where to open businesses based on where they have low market share and where there's increases in demand and things like that. Nate: I mean, it's almost endless, the possibilities, as long as we are careful about observing our, we don't want to give too much data that anyone would be able to make market decisions or certainly not reveal anything personal about a customer, which we don't have access to any way, the banks scrubbed that before we get that information. Stephanie: Yeah. They know better. So is there any themes that your partners come and ask you guys for help with, like you said some of them asking for where to open a brick and mortar location. Is there a couple of questions where you're like, Damn, we get this a lot, them coming and asking us for help around this or that? Nate: I think a lot of them are curious if their perceptions of market share are real and whether they really are strong or weak in certain areas and we can confirm that for them and help sustain it or change it depending on the situation. I think that's kind of the most common but I'd say also, as far as spend categories, people are curious about who their competition is. And by that I mean it might not be the same type of service. Nate: So if you think about audio streaming, is that a competition for book purchases or is it competition for music streaming? Is it books on audio or is it podcasts or is it music or is it something entirely different? Is it, I don't know, travel or sporting goods or something like that, and so we can actually look at, in a campaign, if you bring over customers, where does their spend decline in other areas? Nate: So for example, on podcasts and books, the competition is share of ear, if you will. So they might decline in how many books that they're purchasing, but actually they'll be more correlated to maybe fewer premium subscriptions for music, as an example. Which makes sense I guess, like there's only so much time you can put something in your ear and go about your business and listen to it whether it's a spoken word or it's music, really makes no difference to the customer. Stephanie: That's great. And how do you guys, you were talking about there's a lot of privacy efforts that you guys make sure when it comes to the bank data or your data, what are some big things you're doing to make sure that data is protected and similar there'll be one question everyone's like, Oh my gosh, Cardlytics has all this data. What are you guys doing to make sure it's protected and used and not abused? Nate: Sure. We take it very seriously obviously, it's something, I remember a same question would come up to me at Facebook and Google. It might be about the customer or it might even be, Hey, you're also working with my competitor. Right? And the first thing I would say then, and I'd say now as well is, look, if we messed up here and did anything wrong, the whole model comes falling down, nobody would trust you, nobody who does business with you. The bank certainly wouldn't partner with us if we weren't responsible. Right? And the banking industry is one of the most regulated that we have in the US, and so there are a lot of safeguards, for one, before we see any data from the banks, the banks are stripping out anything that we could see that would actually tie to us that person. Right? So we don't even get that. Nate: Second, we have to operate behind the firewall so any data that we see about market spend and so forth at a raw level doesn't leave our servers. So we don't actually give that to the marketers. So by the time it gets to the marketer we'll definitely share specific insights, but it'll be trends that are grouped together in terms of people or companies. And so we've got quite explicit guidelines on our data practices that we follow. There's a few different checks and balances I suppose. Stephanie: Got it. That makes everyone feel better I'm sure. But yeah, like you said, Google and the Facebook Store, when you see how much data they have, any other company's no match to that. How do you think about, when it comes to acquiring new customers in your, like to me all the customers you're working with sound much harder than some of the other guests we've had on the show. You know, acquiring normal consumers, you're having to acquire banks and big brands. How do you all go about creating those partnerships and keeping them and keeping those clients happy because I could see banks being hard to keep happy because they're just kind of, some of them anyways are in a different era it feels like, at least some of the banks I work with. Nate: There is a spectrum of the banks that are more or less progressive or more or less digitally savvy. I work on the advertiser side, but we have a great bank team which partners with these guys, our founders, our CEO, they came from the banking environment as well so we kind of speak that language. And I think what we offer is one, there's this reassurance that on the, for example, the privacy side and the data protection that we do well with it. We take it seriously and we haven't breached that trust with any partner before. And then every bank wants to please their customers and retain their customers and you might not always see that in practice, but that's what they want and they're all competing with each other. Nate: So if we can offer a great customer experience where the customer can get some cash back from some different brands and make some money from it. Some banks are more concerned with the revenue share and some would rather plow that revenue share back into the customer rewards, just kind of depends on their approach, but it's a way to help their customers and retain their customers. But it takes a long time to form those partnerships and it's a lot of technical integration as you can imagine. And so once they're formed they tend to stick with it for a while because there's a lot of investing on both sides. Nate: On the advertiser side, I mean, once we get to the point where we've really explained everything, typically they want to advertise with us, but the challenge is one, they've maybe never heard of us so we have to start from zero. Two, we have to explain how we're different than something else, like an affiliate marketing channel or something like that. And then to really figure out if we're worthwhile, you have to dig into the incremental return, which is why I touched on that because we are behind the bank firewall, we're not going to share all the impression data and who your campaign reached exactly on a one to one basis. And so if we don't plug nicely into whatever you formed when you're marketing with Facebook and Google, it's a bit of extra effort and there's a lot of work getting our data scientists together to kind of verify, what we say we do is what we actually do and so there's this rigor that's needed. Nate: Which is why, going back to what I said about the shift that e-commerce and marketing experts having to get more under the hood with what they're doing will benefit us because if you're willing to spend the time on looking at the numbers, we usually benefit. But people are busy and they don't always have the time to do that. Stephanie: Yeah. Do you spend a lot of time training them on, here's some metrics you maybe should look at or here's things that are important that you never considered before, and if so, what kind of things should they be looking at that maybe a lot of them aren't right now? Nate: Sure. Stephanie: Or what data do you give them where they're like, "Ooh, that's good I've never seen that." And you're like, "You should have seen this before." Nate: Yeah, we've kind of got two sets of advertising partners. There's those who don't really want to be bothered with those details, and it's a little frustrating because I feel like there's this wealth of data that they could analyze. They just want to know that they're getting a customer for 20 bucks a pop or whatever it is and they're good. And then there's others who dig in more and tend to eventually become our larger partners and they really want as much data as we'll give them. Nate: And the things that we educate them on, it might be like what their expectations should be on marketing incrementality, like how much bang do you really get for your buck? And when you do bring a customer on, like I said, where is that share coming from? Where are they declining in spend? Because it's rare that somebody just spends more money. Sometimes they do, but not on a frequent ongoing basis, and so where's the money coming from and is your competitive set what you actually thought it was or is it something a little bit different? Nate: And then looking at why people stopped using a product so I mentioned this propensity to churn, which is kind of predicting the future of what somebody is going to do, but you can statistically do this in a lot of cases by analyzing large groups of people who have had this behavioral change in the past and then seeing who else fits that model, has it quite reached the point of stopping their spend. That's something that I think is kind of surprising to some as well. Nate: And we've got a kind of an intro slide that we use where we say, you see these three data points from your customers, once they're on your platform you know what they're doing, but we know everywhere that they're spending their money. And that sheds a lot of light on to the type of person that they are. And the analogy I use in, University of Oregon wouldn't really like this, but I love Oregon Sports and Facebook would look at me and say that I'm a huge sporting fan, specifically Oregon Sports, but I almost never spend any money on it. Right? I do a lot- Stephanie: You're the worst kind of customer. Nate: I'm the worst kind of customer and so there's this discrepancy between kind of your behavior and so a marketer would say, Ooh, let's target him for a lot of jerseys or whatever. Cardlytics would say, no, this guy, he's a cheapskate. He's not going to go and buy- Stephanie: Stay away. Nate: ... anything. Let's get the person who, whatever they do online, they're plunking down their credit card for certain products and so I think that's kind of a different mindset as well. Looking a little differently about how you form your ideal audiences for targeting. Stephanie: Yeah, that makes sense. Do you give them dashboards that they can actually play with or do you kind of give them customer reports based on what they want, and if so, how do you manage those different types of clients. It sounds like a lot of different clients to manage how do you keep track of it all? Nate: Yeah, so it kind of depends on how big the partnership is with us. Right? We haven't really built out our long tail so most of it is pretty white glove service, but by and large, a smaller advertiser will get certainly access to their ad spend, how many clicks, impressions, conversions and all that. And then we'll make agreements as part of a partnership. Certainly if someone makes a commitment to be with us for a year and to be advertising over time, we'll agree to it. Certain analytical, custom analytics is what we call them, and that's jointly determined by our, was really designated by the client themselves, but our analyst team will come in and talk about what we can do and we'll figure out what the problem statement is and what they want to figure out and we'll deliver a customer report. Nate: And then we're starting to develop a dashboard as well which some advertisers have access to. And there you can look at the competitors and the competitor category that you'd like your information on, geographic areas. And then that data is updated periodically and it's limited set of data but it kind of answers on an ongoing basis what the customer analytics might do on a one off basis. So we're moving in that direction, providing more and more insights into the business or we're trying to. There's always a challenge of you've got a lot of data, but making sense of that is another matter altogether so we really try to figure out what the business problem is rather than, it would be interesting to see, and then throwing out a lot of requests. Stephanie: Yeah. Got it. But therefore the other- Nate: But it is pretty interesting. Stephanie: That sounds really insightful to be able to provide that information to them and see how they actually utilize it to change their marketing strategies or product strategy or any of that so yeah, that sounds really cool. All right, so we only have a couple minutes left. At the end of each interview we do something called the Lightning Round, brought to you by Salesforce Commerce Cloud. It's where you quickly answer a question, whatever answer comes top of mind, and you have one minute to provide an answer. Nate: Okay. Stephanie: Let me know if you're ready, and I'll start with the easy ones first. Nate: I'm worried but ready. Stephanie: All right. What's up next on your reading list or audible or podcast? Nate: Yeah. I want to sound a lot more intellectual here, but I've been into C.J. Box as an author and it's like this super fictional reading about this game warden in Wyoming and it's kind of an escapist. Stephanie: Hey, I like those kind of books I feel like I have to read it right now. All right, what's up next on Netflix or Hulu queue? Nate: Netflix. I would like to watch Extraction. Stephanie: Okay. Nate: Yeah. But typically we're watching a lot of cooking shows, we've gotten into that a lot. Stephanie: Any good recipes recommended, [inaudible 00:45:02]? Nate: Mostly they've been focused on restaurants that I can't go to, which is really frustrating. Stephanie: Oh man. Yeah, that's sad. All right, what's up next on your shopping list? Doesn't have to be groceries, it can be anything that you want to buy next. Nate: I've heard about the therapeutic values of pressure washing. I want a pressure washer. We'd go out there and just clean the house. It's part of that home improvement upswing. Stephanie: Yeah. You're that person. We're going to walk by and be like, Nate, take it away from him. He's been doing it for eight hours. All right. The next hard question. So your job is to stay ahead of expectations and your competition. What do you think is up next for e-commerce pros? Nate: I think within the marketing budgets that you're spending, up next is slicing those more and more granularly, and by slicing, I mean looking at the impact of each portion of your marketing, even within the same channel, and figuring out if that can be better employed elsewhere. Stephanie: Great answer. All right, well, this has been a really fun interview. Thanks for coming on the show and see you next time. Nate: It was a pleasure. Thank you very much.

[0:29] I have barely barely barely use Windows 95 now for me it's cuz I skipped it because they weren't a life then. Yeah right and t351 those are all great operating systems 95 was just, I used to but at work I used at the 4 I'm going to stop at home so episode 95, birthday that's true that's true i birthday to me happy where the kb view birthday gift what did you get up that later i well so it's a liquid. I don't know it's cold out so welcome to episode 95 David's birthday episode, Peterson Wellness podcast hosted by us the surface mask so we can say that over and over a few times because we don't have a lot of content today while it's cuz everyone else was, not working on American Thanksgiving okay well there's a few little things we need to do David hey guys what about the word of the week, yeah alright so lots of birthday stuff going on so for those of you don't know where the week is a drinking game, every time you hear the word of the week you could take a drink at sometimes we toy with you by not saying the word of the week will actually just forget. [1:49] Either get really hydrated or really dehydrate depending what you drinking. Works for us so I don't have a drink in front of me so we're going to have to fix that I had a coffee but it's not alright so let's move on what else is there David what's coming up espresso machine in his office are recording studio so. That is quite the upgrade to the studio that's the hack of the week. Is it now though Act of the week is what so we don't have soundtrack of the week so I just kind of stumbled onto this. Microsoft uses to take picture of you when you log on with Windows hello is not the same camera used to take a picture of you for. [2:33] Kind of seems obvious but doesn't really this seem too much of a point to it but what the point is is you can actually just cover up the visual camera, leaving the login camera there and you can still enjoy Windows hello, Muller's Kelly the new episode the new series they didn't speak in the computers versus attack in the. Not into that one video that they've math so neighborhood here where they've got it intersection Mulder and Scully streets in Ottawa is there a yes wow we should do a live on the spot there so tape on the camera already full of article about it but I just happened to notice it by chance on my Surface go and then I just tried it on my Surface laptop and you can just put a small piece of tape there and Minnie Surface Book, book i'm sorry will a cut piece of skull six laptop office cuz that once are fucked up and then you have the pleasure of walking on use lean quickly and people can't be a stupid on you as easily alright so for those of you who don't know how hello works it uses infrared camera and the regular camera is not infrared it is a. [3:49] You'll spectra camera right because things that we want humans to see but it needs the infrared in order to do things like differentiate between you and a photograph of you or differentiate between, closer than trying to take a picture of the column over here and I just noticed that the mixing board would make a good picture all right and so, if use the infrared camera to actually look at the heat pattern from your face and eyes and things like that that you are, life in florida right and also you can tell the difference between. It definitely does a whole lot of stuff that you can't just do it the visual can't but I always assume that it used to be chill Cameron to. That man works at night you can you can actually just be in that it without without my flight, okay so what's next David I wanted to talk about some general. Christmas buying tips Christmas buying tips okay I'm not up for what for buying a laptop a lot of people buy a laptop at this time of year really people do. And just a lot of common mistakes of people with laptops I like the background music there wow wow I hope it doesn't mess up our voice. [5:02] Laptop buying tips. [5:10] Friday all that's herself people are buying a lot of this Hardware so I think the most important thing you can do is make sure you get no matter what you're doing with your life. Or a computer fan try to get at least 8 gigs if you're buying a Windows laptop by an Android phone that was my downside of the phone I bought, if your with your phone to a strip by the most memory you can well within reason for eight reasonable for a is reasonable for device that is just a consumption device for what work. You know when two or three years from now you will not feature prove it you want where is. It kicks you probably will I have a seven-year-old i7 with 8 gigs of RAM and it still works pretty well because it was. SSD what about so you've got here you don't have to give. This goes really that important the most important fast, having a huge amount of disc is not usually important if you fast and 128th I think is what most people need because of putting their data into the cloud. Minimum. [6:24] I have a terabyte I'm usually around 300 gigs is roughly where I am a half a terabyte give me some breathing room. Big I need to do temporarily and then have a heavy user than most. [6:39] You want this more just make sure you have a nice SD slots available to add additional memory should you need it temporarily. [6:52] Gonna airplane then yeah you could put in a slot there and sst. And I already called it SD card and you get out a bit of memory with some movies on it, okay instead of walking down your regular memory and then what I've done as well is Ibis, but Friday I bought a bunch of SanDisk Ultra extreme a super Alpha, who was the car that's okay for my go pro and other things i don't like we all slack check that there really aren't they there hundred twenty five dollars each of them for twenty nine bucks each oh really hundred twenty gig in the fastest a us and this makes in so that's good for that kinda stuff so that would be perfect to any in your phone if it's not made by Apple or a tablet if it's not made for apple or a laptop if it's. Not made by Apple I guess okay so disc so yes you definitely do not want if you want to get an SSD if possible as much as possible and, slower and things like that if so size i think that really is a personal preference it is you want to depend on whether to consumption device or whether it's a creation device I find it easier create on a larger device them to consume but my eyes are bad to sometimes like a bigger screen but the, I can adjust if I need to lease at least feel a type on the keyboard things like that like I have a 13 inch laptop and I'm much more productive on it than us a smaller laptop of course. [8:21] I mean what they're both good, thought but the balancing act too small not productive but if you're not going to be using for creation all that often you might be a little smaller lighter The Balancing Act the other thing I would suggest is too big, can be bad if it's a portable because it's hard to carry use a lot of power things like that. You're right the tablet like the be at the surface go or regular surface or you know the various Apple tablets that you really can carry around with you all day and not notices there, I told you the last thing I wanted was his price but I think it's two other things you've asked what if I messed and I think they'd let me put in the show not since we type I think they directly impact the price okay. Processor processor sure and the other one is. [9:17] Wouldn't it already have a touchless Dell laptop so that touch screens, name one major manufacturer Apple. It's there as a lasagne less of the the dial in hp's there two or three years ago they definitely have some okay somebody thoughts on top should have touch. [9:37] Again I think I should have thought so I think you should you don't necessarily have to use touch as a primary input method to occasionally use in front of you. [9:48] Get, all things being equal that not if if you have the option for touch with a lot of extra cost do it gas work they give you a lap top that doesn't have such on it and its well that's with this but here's the thing there now monitors that have touch true and so you can actually touch sensor connected to your laptop if you only touch at work and you don't really need touch when you're, when you're not at work then you got that option but touches something to consider a lot of people don't consider that in their laptop choices and then the other one processor and, a lot of options on processor between manufactures right it is Intel stock of all sorts of processors and it's very difficult to keep track of which processor is faster than which which one you should get they've got so there are some I Pfizer Fashions on my sevens there are where did the name of the quad core vs dual-core number of cores processor is probably the most difficult thing to make a make a set of choice are you having any you go to the store and of course it's not loaded with all the crap that you'll eventually end up on and it's gonna be fast but so years from now and then there's all the multi vendor this there's an empty there's, bucket of Cyrax anymore or any of those other parties but the but the is AMD and Intel of the big players then you got arm devices I was at Staples yesterday and I always walk by and check out the laptops and they had this. [11:14] Screaming deal on it was a seventeen it's laptop. [11:19] And how to like a i get a terabyte ss d was more like sixteen gigs of memory cuz because nobody wanted to pay, how much was it it was like seven $99 Canadian I don't know, but that but it was just like this huge thing it was just like like as long as you never tuck it anywhere I mean see if he's like she thought about the battery is really just that UPS in case your power goes out for 5, it would it would be a beautiful thing to have at your desk and you know why I could make sense nowadays is because what. [11:51] All your cloud storage in your settings be in the cloud and such, you really don't need to take your computer with you that much cuz you go home and if you have your other computer hooked up your MSA or your tablet or whatever, you're getting almost everything there anyway so maybe it doesn't make sense have a 17-inch Brosius shocked by the size of this thing around your house, bright and not take it places and not travel with it then 50 minutes left I want to start or even 79 right. But if you're going to use it a lot you might need to you might need to have a spoon that's somewhat stationary and one that's a little more portable and you're not have much more experience with surface devices but apple and other high-end manufacturers if your vinyl. Let's say $1,000 laptop or above its there's a good chance it's going to last four five six seven years is going to last quite a while so maybe you buy one now and you buy a tablet in a few years, I know I'll turn it back and forth when you refresh them so here's the other thing that we didn't cover What GPU yes, so my kids. [13:04] Fickle processing unit for graphics processing unit so if your mining that point of course or are you doing any kind of three d graphics finder to the fair watching movies are there is a telegraph you don't need don't need a GPU you know why you know that look at your little Fire TV stick it probably, never has nothing as far as the processor going to be able to keep up if you're going to be doing anything, math intensive or are you going to be doing it any three d graphics say kids are playing i don't know. [13:36] Pubg or. [13:40] Fortnite or anything like that it's definitely better than GPS but my kids love grabbing. The Surface Book there is an option for an external GPU and then look into that I don't know how good they are not depends on the connection you have to USBC obviously, right but you could have a FireWire keep you hooked up your gaming Monitor and then have that hooked up your laptop disconnected take laptop and it's catchy PCS behind yes. Right so there's that option so memory size. [14:12] Processor touch portability about goes hand-in-hand with size. Repeat the last one is price price I think if you if you spend over $1,000 these days you're going to get a vintage made in American, the american, call the fence cuz you pay extra for certain brands are the few others that you pay a premium for. [14:41] And then even with inline between HP and Dell so I know those very much there they have their cheaper lines right so you have to understand the lights on the Dell Inspiron which is really a home user, consumer model and the latitude which is the business model and here's my advice. Buy as much computer as you can afford don't because you'll be future-proofing, and look at things like processor or hard to upgrade after the fact memory and disk can be upgraded after the fact you screw up my memory probably not find out, some usually not well if you're if it depends if you punch a button if you like if your buying one with for you could probably a pretty to eight, you may have to throw your old memory away but you can still upgrade it down the road so if you need to save a little bit of money buy a faster processor with less memory now and get more memory later or smaller discbound it again another diss later those are all things you can upgrade can't really change your screen size you can't really add touch and is very thin you can't really change your processor, at or GPU so those biological in egpu so those are the things to think about if he's making trade awesome price so, don't buy the least computer you can get away with because you'll very very soon outgrow it because developers are developing applications on the next bill for the next generation of hardware and new applications will not run well on that. [16:05] Anything else to talk about let's move on to the to the what. To the new story of the week. Thanksgiving so that will happen but something very very exciting happen today to dry up today is what day date today is david birthday whenever there is a csf it's november twenty six david's birthday so it's a birthday few times now yes. [16:40] Microsoft overtook Apple to be the world's most valuable company for a few hours, you look at my Microsoft right then pulled back Ashley Microsoft stock is down from where it was about a month month ago it's wet it's raining at 106 Powell Street it over 110 month-and-a-half ago however, alexis stock is down over its it all time high what happened, apples pulled back Amazon is pulled back and so right now those three are going to be in Google and pull back a little bit Microsoft pull back glass. It's like the old joke you know how do you how do you how do you outrun a bear or something I don't know. [17:39] Billion dollars has roughly where they were in those details in there now Google went up because I bought a new phone, yes a little bit later so that was my new story make me happy I got to Microsoft stock good good and Elon Musk, I assume everyone who listen to a podcast know who she is. And since you went to school very close to here then now we have to keep track of every once in awhile percent chance. It's he'll move to Mars me as his favorite type of chocolate bar he will move to the to the. To the planet Mars cuz nobody knows I'm tractor who wouldn't would would what you go tomorrow if that's. Is it a one-way trip it's a two-way trip even as a one-way trip it's quite a commitment. I need to know more about it but how how long we talked about 5 years return trip with us something right it would have to be several years, so let's say 5 years things like that that's what people used to do with boiled we are we are. So just interesting. [18:58] Couple hundred thousand dollars in what he says. Okay, I thought that was going to be going to into the right into the red Center of us realize what they call it the deserts call the red Center wear the lularoe which weeds call Ayers Rock and, will you still did call it people know that when I say I say lularoe they say cousin tight guess I'm going to. [19:37] Alright is that it for news that is all. [19:41] Music. [19:50] Alright we don't defend boxing music on boxing music you want to leave like Rocky music or something. So we're leaving today I've got you are going to open up hold up hold up on you get the on the camera I bought a dumpster fire so yes this is the phone give me a second here to start the camera. [20:11] Okay here we are not life with Collins new pixel 3XL and I'm not sure, he bought it just cuz Paul Trot called it a dumpster fire well that was a great it's cold here dumpster fire is nice and warm outside in the alley behind the building when you're outside cold who wouldn't want a dumpster fire I ate I don't know or was it is that American bad thing in Canada it's a good thing yeah s*** in the stick that's bad everywhere we can say that. We we can have a quitter well but rather how to stick that on my hand through the route to open up to a salon at the kit let's pull out the we can share this with illegal weapon the theme pics that the team pixel will do that so. First off it's got myself I don't even need the knife it's got a little tab to pull but let me ask if I don't have nail so there we go it's like on when you're opening up a video game or those DVDs years ago a little little piece there to pull up a little tab there to pull up. I just don't have nails to get under it so. There we go you guys at work that are trying to buy my old iPhone from me. Take a look at that it's all nicely. [21:29] Packaged least that's what we say. Can unwrap it so let's see how about sideways what do you mean, I can't compare to your phone cuz you're recording with it good point, size-wise it's almost the same size as a little narrower but it's got a bigger screen up at you yeah I was going to say that and it's got, the world biggest notch or does it turn it on. [22:09] That's really what size of a notch on it oh my God what the fork and. [22:18] You said you created another account just for this so couple of things for those of you that are considered drunk. Alright english united states start connect to mobile network what so, start Sim free setup instead okay so why did you choose this phone so I was looking at Apple and I got a 64 gig Apple iPhone 6s plus right, I wanted a little bit more memory right okay and if I wanted to get one of the new iPhones I got to jump up the intro. Point is 64 gig at the bottom and then want that next up is 256 gigs that really up the price when I put everything all in eyes looking over two grand. [23:16] Saying sorry, how you didn't see that I didn't get the Google car so but it still it was it was pretty close to Grand now the issue of the other issue is I want the best camera possible for my truck and hold on how much would this be, and keep locking up i got the black friday deal on it i got it for will be plus the bill, the plot the bill keep talking okay fuck you talking about mia you said you to be careful of did you get a case for yet i didn't home. It's going to start. [23:57] And so like to know Skip that here's our Wi-Fi networks. It's test but forgot the password give my google store i like the feel of it so i gotta print reader incense in the back. [24:16] So it was. [24:21] Yeah I had a discount on it $250 cuz I didn't find somebody that wanted to go with the flow you didn't give the two for two same thing right almost think they look up in 10 dollars difference so, I'll take a look at that so I ended up getting it for my total with tax $1,140.17. So I got it for under a thousand bucks Canadian so that's about 700 you bought it because you think the camera is amazing, best camera out there my second choice was the OnePlus 60 but it's not waterproof that's one of the things on it and then the cameras not as good so this was waterproof, and. [25:06] Has the best camera foul is four gigs of ram which i think is a bit of a problem but i think of puppy live with it and how much i starch that two hundred twenty eight gig that's the top end this that but i'm limited google. Dry storage plus you can add your own nest no he can't there's no MicroSD no not on the waterproof ones. But really there is on my camera considering switching phones, you install Google Drive on your phone and that's my case 900s and then you backup your phone to Google Drive is map for it and I hope your phone your contacts your photos your calendar right, and you enable this new phone. You I would have to turn off turn off iMessage by the way because it'll happen is when people try to contact you you like to My Cry message wife we are Google phone, your Android phone Bella work do I won't work too well say turn all that off before you migrate over from somebody backup your phone. Put your sim into the new phone and code so google drive again i think i should probably already installed on it too quickly and just restore from backup, awesome and you're good to go so let's see what you think about this after your trip before my trip I've got 15 days since I left it so before each other thing now anybody wants lightning cables I can have a whole lot of those. [26:29] So it comes with that comes with a couple of things here it comes with earbuds. What's will go to cinema connector or do you have to use the it comes with your butts that worked out of the us pc usb c yeah and also comes with this little, so that's the year but so usb c but this load after let's new headphones lowry having love, or microphones or whatever yeah yeah that would be like okay and course a usb cable so but that's a usb c to usb c cable, the connector that okay see his or her falls in a better than that it's the other connector here to for ge to charge so here's a pro tip cold on this doesn't help. How does that help me charge it I want here's a pro tip don't get onto a long flight, without the right cables yes so I will be buying some cables today on Cyber Monday I'm going to wrap up this video so all right and then we'll wrap up the audio podcast in just a moment right cuz we've got the the after-party to get to yes. Well that was interesting in it i don't we should a done. [27:40] I wouldn't have heard it on the camera anyway that's that's true yeah. So there we are we done are we going to do a whiskey tasting I guess we have a couple and we should at least say goodbye. [28:02] Music. [28:09] Christmas podcast follow the show on Twitter that Smith email the show at podcast.com check out the show notes and leave a comment on www. [28:24] Help others find out about the show by leaving a review on iTunes. [28:27] Music. [28:37] So this is the after party his birthday party gilroy. A couple things about the phone my text messages to do that and we were talking about Pimm's. Not the stuff from England that you mix with liquor personal information manager so most modern phones Android and. I give you a bottle of redbreast single pot still Irish whiskey aged 12 years. He knows masters engineering metallurgy and things like that we've talked about building still next summer. [29:28] So it's really i've two questions is it legal. What's the second question when the next summer where can i hook is a funeral nowadays posse legal there's no thrill. Hurry up so this red dress is supposed to be pretty good now it's difficult if you have multiple information sources multiple contacts and things like that so now the phones. Close to my heart. [30:01] Are you go look at that nice. Alright okay the phone phone. [30:22] Okay. [30:24] So the red dress the beautiful balance single pot still irish whiskey with a warm generous texture rich sweet flavor spicy kick. [30:33] Love you many connoisseurs the Fireside Irish whiskey available and that's why I bought it for you. [30:41] It also comes in a cast but I don't know how I didn't know how to dilute it so perfect fall weather whiskey. Really very fruity hiking with dave this tastes like a dumpster fire spells path. I'm surprised your phone hasn't hasn't burst into flames actually spilled it on the iPhone not on the last generation that was not waterproof. [31:10] Alright thanks. I broke the camera wants by pouring by 4 and the Keith's Brewery in the Halifax I spilled a beer on it. But not too much beer I save most nahmir. So I like this hotel nice warm start in a spicy pepper finish the color not too sweet. Yeah because when you going to call on your caller ID where's it going to look at 20-20 different contact managers on the phone where they going to look at it in the file that this floor of a text comes in I wasn't too big. [31:56] Apps on your phone that have to use the OS his pimp your text messaging, and your phone calls that's on the phone app and the and the SMS app so I have an app on my phone that when I get a call it pops up with. Basic information from phone book including whether they're telemarketer and I've configured it when it's the telemarketers to go straight to voicemail. But that's okay okay last five years accessing the data accessing your penalty right who or or or training, inside car mode it's it's running as well as the pimp and its release reading other information the Apache is Google only has this is the Google Voice Assistant where it'll actually act as a person or set so it's somebody's not in your contact list it'll answer the phone and ask them questions and they still have the answer it'll either that's good let them come or not, just the us but still looking forward to that yeah. I will wrap them like really rude questions and things like that if you can tell Margaret so can you go for the telemarketers what the last time you had a bowel movement. I think like that yeah yeah. [33:19] Off up early but its years that it's it's it's also my google phones birthday will they korea. [33:28] Alright so spill. Sure okay guys were smart enough to kill ourselves haven't cut myself yet doesn't mean I won't do it again okay so you have Heat playing a boiler when you have a spiral cop and a copper wire come out the top dude. Two it will evaporated anaconda dinner so it's it's a boiler in of operator to consider right that's it okay if. If ancient Irish could do it with the internet. You got all access the right people got like Breaking Bad here we won't sell it. [34:24] For those that want to live on the edge since now that marijuana is legal in Canada what do you do for Thrills cuz nobody. You're not allowed to smoke anymore basically so, yeah that's awesome that's awesome I talked about this before so hopefully I'll have Brad Sam's on next week to Jack about his book and with any luck we'll be able to get a copy of the book ahead of. Say good things about it cuz it's it's about surface that needs the surface how could it possibly not. Be cut I will have to say that I think it's a dumpster fire and when he gets upset because it candidate that's a good term yes. Whiskey so. Dumpster fire I love that that's great sara americans a few minutes we let go from, your smart people are coming in with the this is real or if she really wants to move the code to get away from drugs are a smart. [35:53] What let's wrap aptos, we should what would be the proper number of people to finish a bottle every podcast 2, well we wanna fish quick know about that i guess what everyone have like one or two glasses so as of this is a must and we get a twenty after forty ounces so which one is this an twenty this is the twenty. Social 20oz and people. That's how many ounces in a milliliter. Okay so 7 50/30 1525. Okay this is twenty five single shots and they're so. [36:50] Talking to drunk five shots by people for people that's okay. Not really the driving range but 5 and less than 10 fighting around. Can i deduct a porpoise but it's okay milam the role either so six alright. Cuz I thought you like this I wanted to get some little different high quality, hard to find good whiskey Street this is not a cheap whiskey by the way but it's less expensive than some of the Whiskey's I typically like to the roof price wise. Yeah yeah you need to have a everyday whiskey might be the. [37:41] This is about to talk to Everyday whiskeys that idea which are 3-1 I still drink the northern Harvest. I like what I see a lot of times I have any whiskeys are pretty but then I've got Jim Beam in the summer. Address for that ice Jim Beam for cheap not bad and I like Wiser's Deluxe. [38:10] Else like really like i don't know if it has the app and that's where bottle there yet and i like a lot forty those are all forty always he's unit under forty dollars are all very good in canada and can we tax the. Over our lives so those might that do i just mowed the lawn whiskey kinda thing in yeah because i cant live without with dividing your of resentment fingers and toes. But yeah then the higher and stuff at the space I'd pretty much for. A little bit nicer. But not nicer different very good Canadian whiskeys are evolved the what was whiskey I like the taste of the Breton one we had the other day. Alright Oh Canada Dry I could have done well with a maybe a Sherry Cask or something that would be nicer, that's really good we could do to make your first batch then you can start working at next relaxer yeah kind of barrel of oil barrel, well so cheap and cannot seven bucks a barrel so i want to buy the one by the wall by the seven bucks a barrel, for the barrel gas is so cheap barrels are expensive. [39:37] Have I missed something here but no no I got it I got to go buy a barrel of oil and I get disappointment complain when I don't got two barrels so the ombudsman the French and then completed the franchise ombudsman, I want are you alright I think that's it we pretty much done we are.

PS1 und N64 waren in den letzten Zügen, Microsoft bereitete sich auf den Einstieg ins Business vor, und die Dreamcast erlebte das einzige volle Jahr ihres kurzen Lebenszyklus - mit einem Softwarelineup, das ihresgleichen sucht.

Surprise! Surprise!  Going Forward, the Millennium Edition will be rolled into the Chrome Edition.  By doing this, I won't have to limit myself to a decade and will be able to grab whatever I'm feeling at any given moment.  As such, I've decided to delay the release of the next couple of volumes until next week and replace this weeks post with T-Dance.  I don't think most if any of you will mind. In other news, there are even bigger things coming to Party Favorz in the near future.  Mainly, I've decided to give the BPM Edition its own platform.  The numbers for that series are quite high and I believe that it can sustain its own site.  Think of it as one of your favorite characters from a sitcom that leaves the show for a spin-off of that same character.  BPM is still going to be around, it's just going to have its own home. For the premium subscribers that have been with me since February and even those that recently signed up, I'll be sending each of you an email in the near future with an added bonus for your support.  When you get something from me, I highly suggest you read it and not delete it.  I won't be fielding questions regarding the change after it goes into effect. I don't want to get too bogged down in this post as I fear many of you have ADD and will just skip to the bottom anyway LOL.  I can't blame you, I have a tendency to ramble in my posts, so I just wanted to stay on point and keep everyone abreast of the new changes coming soon. I'll be back on Friday or Saturday with part 2.  Until then, enjoy!

A feeling of deja vu continue to bother me whenever I use Vista. Could Microsoft's newest operating system be a replay of Millennium Edition and why did Microsoft favor Intel over its own customers? A spam offered me a free high-def television, but I didn't bite. In Nerdly News, the MPAA says piracy is killing the motion picture industry, but box office receipts hit another record high in 2007.
