00:18 Jason Atwood: ,.................. and.....],[ prospective I'm it was Jason Atwood joining me co-host 250 times in a row Justin Edelstein, Justin, how are you doing?

Justin Edelstein: I'm a little under the weather to be honest a little scratch in the throat, but otherwise I'm in the middle of my What am I even doing?

Jason Atwood: Am I talking a lot today?

Justin Edelstein: I don't know. I was flying around. Changes in climate. You went to West Coast. West Coast. Back to East Coast. Yeah. I had a hard time waking up this morning.

Jason Atwood: I haven't had any jet light after two days. Just happens. Crazy. I was out late last night. Out there. Out here.

Justin Edelstein: Flew home on a 6am flight. There. So woke up around four. I have long day. Long day.

Jason Atwood: The So Pete did a good job this time. He went very conversational with his blog. Every blog author or blogger has a kind of a different style. Some are more ask and you know, ask questions, get answers, or ask questions of themselves. Some are more here's just the facts, ma'am. So Pete went with the, hey, question mark, answer. Question, answer. So writes up a nice little recap on kind of dealing with duplicates and how you should go about it and, you know, the tools you can look at and, you know, lots of different pieces, you know, so everything from demand tools to caudingo. dupe blocker which I know a lot of people use as well as the of course built-in now built-in after 15 years waiting for it built-in Duplicate management there you go.

03:33 Justin Edelstein: Yeah, say anything while I was waiting for you to finish You're always accusing me of cutting you off. Well, you do constantly are you done?

Jason Atwood: Yes, now I'm done. Okay, good.

Justin Edelstein: When I had read the post originally, I was really excited that he mentioned the native duplicate management to the rescue and the fact that he wisely talked about a few things which were integrations and how to manage and handle. All right, so we're going to go if there are integrations coming in with contacts to make sure that anything that you do to prevent duplicates don't break integrations or make sure that they'll continue to either allow an alert or don't just break an entire batch of things coming in, be an integration. And then I was also excited that he had mentioned the component within Lightning Experience, which makes duplicate, the native duplicate management, a lot more powerful in my mind because you can be looking at a record that could have a potential duplicate. So let's just say a lead, for example.

Justin Edelstein: And there's a component that you can drop right on the page that shows you potential duplicates right there on the page. Right. That is great. Yeah. That is powerful. That is better than as better than what most do. Right. It's actually I think that's actually the best as long as the rules work. then it's really, really powerful because it's just right there in your face. Here's some potential duplicates and then you can take some action on them. As opposed to just reporting them or creating a task for an admin or something to go look at it. Or saying, are you sure you wanna create this? There might be some duplicate over here. Click to go look at it. It's actually just right there in your face. I was a big fan of that feature. Plus one for Lightning.

Justin Edelstein: And plus one for Peter for mentioning it. Plus one for Pete.

Jason Atwood: So I'll go read that on blog.arcosync.com.

Justin Edelstein: Next up. What's next? So I know which way to scroll. James. Okay, scroll down.

Jason Atwood: James Bajolds writes a blog post about the Cloud Consultant Toolbox. Time savers. I guess this could be a series, Cloud Consultant Toolbox, Time Wasters. Anything. Cloud Consultant Toolbox AppExchange for Version Edition. Sure. So he could just make this into his own personal series if he wanted to. So he actually mentioned a couple, some of which I learned from reading this, reading this. blog post. Why don't you pick one thing that you kind of out of here that you kind of went,

Justin Edelstein: I'll pick the one that I had as a pick in CloudFocus Weekly episode 204. Did he call it out? Well, I told him to because he picked it and I was like, I picked that on a podcast. Go find it. Found it. So on episode 204 I talked about the SF Toolkit. That's.co, which has a ton of features in it. It really is a toolkit. It has your, I mean, I think I picked it for Switch, which was the ability to disable validation rules, workflows and triggers when doing... certain data loading activities. You might want to turn things off to load up some data and then turn them back on. So it's really easy way to do that. They also have schema lister. So looking at all the objects in an org, their fields, the attributes about it, being able to document on the fly, if you will, quick documentation if you will.

07:19 Justin Edelstein: They have a whole bunch of other ones like org compare. differences between two different orgs, or doctor best practices, not sure I don't know what that one exactly is, the health of any org. I don't know what they're considering healthy or not, so I'm gonna actually use that one. So really interesting, really interesting toolkit to be able to use and log into your organ and use these tools to your own benefit. So I'll go with that one.

Jason Atwood: I mean he picked obviously two of my favorite pieces of software ever, but I'll pick my Second most favorite piece of software ever. Okay, which is text expander. I don't know.

Justin Edelstein: I Just don't know how I could live without text expander. I have a question for you Did you get an email from text expander recently? Nope sent me an email saying It gave me my statistics Oh, okay.

Jason Atwood: It said,

Justin Edelstein: Like, in the last week, you've used this many snippets and saved this much time. Right.

Jason Atwood: You can run in the app anytime you want. Right, but it sent it to me in an email. I thought it was interesting. So I have saved... Don't know when this is from it doesn't tell me like is this ever since Ever in the history of man, but it says I've expanded 36,000 snippets Have you run that you just go into Texas Bandra and there's a there's a statistics button I've saved 1 million 405 characters Statistics here.

Justin Edelstein: Yeah, how many snippets? 8,350 to my 36,000. I've saved almost a million characters. To my 14 or 1.4 million. And I've saved 63.8 hours at 50 words per minute.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, so 72 hours at 65 words a minute. Anyway, that's kind of fun. Texas Banders is great. Again, the only apps that do this, it's not unique. I'm going to tweet my stats. What does that do? It tweets them out. Oh, cool. But it takes small little things like TGMA and it just expands it out. So it works across the entire universe of your desktop. And I use it for stuff I do all the time. It has pre-fillable things. It has randomizers. What I really enjoy now, because we at Arkus are on it, they have like a corporate version that you can have shared snippets. So we have a folder that is stuff that we all use. so then we all can use these kind of shared snippets of things that we constantly are doing in emails or whatever, so great stuff..

Jason Atwood: Our address.. All right, put our address in there, phone number, fax number..

Justin Edelstein: Now you don't have to remember things. You just don't have to remember things. AFN. Argus fax number.

Jason Atwood: FFN2, fake phone number two. Why FF? I don, don't know, it's just easier to type. When I'm filling things out. All right, let's get off of that. Oh, and then the greatest blog post or aka Although with the things you have to link to? doing a blog post, the harder it is to publish because you have to go back and find all the links. But I don't know, you see a lot of top 10 this, top 10 that. So I thought, I went back and I looked at the stats from the stats from 2016.

10:52 Justin Edelstein: Did you actually run it in analytics? Google Analytics and you said buy the numbers, these are the runs.

Jason Atwood: And I took out everything else, I just went for 2016 and buy hits within that year. And so I came up with the list of the top 10 Arkus blog posts of 2016. Nice. Kinda just, you know, a little, a little recapper. Interesting, you had two in the top 10, is that correct? That's not bad. Not bad. Two's good. Yep, I too had two. Thank you. I did have the second most popular blog post. Good for you. If you write anything, Slack versus Chatter, the second most popular.

Justin Edelstein: Because you just got picked up on the, with the SEO on that one. Yes, great SEO. So again,

Jason Atwood: Don't have to really talk about it. The number one was, and by a long shot, because it was very popular, was comparing IDEs for Salesforce development. So a really in-depth look at all the different tools. This is when Mavens mate. I think they said they were gonna stop developing it, but then they actually reversed now and they are developing it, my understanding. But anyway, so a lot of IDs out there for doing Salesforce development, and this is sort of a look at it. It had the most hits by far..

Justin Edelstein: Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers.

Jason Atwood: So that's it, so you can go to that, you can go to, maybe this, oh wait, if next year, if the top 10 blog posts of 2016 is in the top 10 blog posts of 2017, a that top 10 blogception? Yes it is. All right, I just want to know because it that probably won't be. Probably not. My guess. Really? Why would it be? I don't know. I'm about to write a really raver on the blog next week.

Justin Edelstein: Amy's actually gonna write about the blog. Let's talk about you went to Destination Success.

Jason Atwood: Right, that's what I was gonna talk about. But it's gonna be in the blog next week. It's gonna be mentioned.

Justin Edelstein: The blog's R.E.A.T. is not. The post isn't necessarily about Destination Success per se.

Jason Atwood: So for those of you who don't know what Destination Success is, you're like what is that? It is a It is Salesforce's spinoff, I'm considering a spinoff from their Dreamforce sort of training and certification track that they've had where you could come in early and take certifications early. And they've played around with that for years. I never did it, but they've played around. And so last year they decided to sort of, just like they took Trailhead DX. Thanks. and they moved it off and made its own thing. They kind of took destination success, which is, okay, we don't really want to wait for Dreamforce to kind of do a week of training. So let's make it its own event. So they did. So destination success is a Salesforce run within partnership with Criterion.

14:05 Justin Edelstein: Were there questions? Like were there... Were there, sorry, were there like a, I don't know, maybe I shoot it. Were there keynotes? Like most, like in sessions, like most other conferences at Salesforce house? So that's what it was, it was part training,

Jason Atwood: Part, like a dash of Dreamforce.

Justin Edelstein: And so. Who keynoted it?

Jason Atwood: I don't remember his name. He's like the head of Salesforce University.

Justin Edelstein: Okay, I was gonna say, was it about Salesforce? And here's Salesforce, the company in Einstein jumps on the stage, or was it like, this is Salesforce U and this is what we're doing in terms of training and how certifications work and all of that stuff? All of the above? Yes. Like Einstein was there? Of course he was. Yes.

Jason Atwood: So Einstein was on the stage. Right. And yes, they talked about Salesforce University and they talked about the new certifications coming and they did four or five thank you slides. Which are five thank you slides. Well, you know how they start off. Everybody gets up, they start off and I say, first, I just want to start off by doing and they throw up the thank you slide. Thank you.

Justin Edelstein: Or Let's go bust it!

Jason Atwood: Oh my god. Then they mess it up. That's what happens. Cleveland! What? We're not in Cleveland. So they did that. They did a little bit of what's coming in sort of the training tracks and things that they're doing. I guess it's not. and then there's more tracks coming. So, they basically gonna do a 300 bucks a year, you're all covered. Basically, you pay 300 and then. So, if you have to do three at least,

Justin Edelstein: Then you should pay that 300 bucks if you care to keep your search.

Jason Atwood: That's right. Alright. You don't care. I mean, why do you get them? So it had that. It was mostly in-class from morning. It was in Vegas. Were there breakouts? Were there breakouts? There were breakouts after training. So you train from like 8 in the morning to 4, 5, 6 at night. Then they had study halls. then they had breakouts so they would do little show and b I just inherited Salesforce. I just got hired. And the most people I saw was from companies. So, come in somebody.

18:26 Justin Edelstein: I wonder if West Coast was just too far for people from

Jason Atwood: Stats on that are people some people like doing it's a little excel, it's not the same as the courses that you take you R Cool. I don't have the 11 search that you have. I looked it up a,, I can remember

Justin Edelstein: The, and and a,,

Jason Atwood: Yeah It's actually more expensive than a.

Justin Edelstein: It's $500 to take the test.

Jason Atwood: And what does it get you? It's an accreditation as opposed to a certification. But it shows up as a number on your shirt? No.

Justin Edelstein: I don't know like one day it will show up somewhere magically and it will be like, oh glad I did that.

Jason Atwood: So if I look at your shirt it doesn't have that? I don't think so. Well I'm gonna look now. I don't look often at my own. certification. I was there, so I was looking at a lot of people's certs. I'd meet people and be like, I'm going to go get your certs.

Justin Edelstein: How many certs you got? I have a lot. I like to take the new ones when they come out. I like to take them in beta to help form the tests.

Jason Atwood: Advanced, sales, cloud, service, cloud, platform, marketing, sharing visibility, community cloud. Yes, not there.

21:29 Justin Edelstein: It's not listed as a... But it's a thing I have. Yeah. Yeah. It's more of an accreditation.

Jason Atwood: It's like one of the things, the Super Badges, I was looking to, they just get listed as a badge. They don't get listed in a separate category. They should probably change that because they're different. Yeah, they're more difficult than a regular old badge. Well, we talked about that last week. We don't have to recurcate. Go listen to that podcast. That's from last week. Anyway, so that's Destination Success. All good stuff. Next up, this is just for you, because I think you complained about it, and I sent you the article the other day, because you complained about it.

Justin Edelstein: I may have complained once, I complained about so many things.

Jason Atwood: I guess I complained about this. You did, I think you went to rent something on your Apple TV, or rent it somewhere, and you didn't watch it, so you wanted to watch it like on another device, and Apple, up until yesterday, or two days ago, didn't allow you to sort of rent it one place, and watch it on another. So that's now a thing.

Justin Edelstein: So good. So good. That's the thing. Why should that not be a thing?

Jason Atwood: It should be. And it is a thing, though. I also read, as part of my predictions from one of these years, maybe last year, the cognitive reading predictions, they're talking about in-theater movie rental, Apple's working with the theaters, the price they're throwing around is about $30. So it's $30 to be at your home and to rent a movie. Oh, a movie that's in the movie theater.

Justin Edelstein: Oh, that's totally worth it expressly worth it. Shh, that's- that's terrible.

Jason Atwood: It's got to be lower. But yeah, I think I would do that. $30,

Justin Edelstein: I mean, that's what it costs to go to the movie theater. Well, you knew it would cost more than that. For two people. Well, yeah, if you want to have a snack. Well Yeah, subway back and forth two people you're you're over there. We're just talking to York. Yeah Well, let's go sniff to drive right to get the car and drive, right? And then you want to have a snack drink. Yes. I'm all in. Yeah, I mean I'm in I thought you can have adult drinks at home, too A lot of theaters are doing.

Jason Atwood: Adult drinks now like that. Yeah, but your own adult drinks. You have to buy the $12. And you can pause to make more drinks. Or go to the bathroom. Or go to the bathroom. You don't have to use Run P, one of your picks, which I've never used ever. That doesn't exist anymore. They stopped.

Justin Edelstein: Couldn't scale. Because I think when I picked them, they had thanked me on Twitter. And we went back and forth. How do you actually do this? It's like. We actually have to go to the movies and watch them all and take notes and stuff and it just didn't scale I guess.

Jason Atwood: What you would want is the movie theaters, the movie... The company, the production company to just tell you.

Justin Edelstein: But they're writing out like the synopsis and like what you missed. It's like that... maybe I use it once and it was kind of cool.

Jason Atwood: To get the alert in your pocket, like, it's time to go pee. Then you could go and then why you, in your other hand, you could be looking at what's happening. Two people are sitting on a beach, kissing. Right. And you're like, oh, that's what I'm missing. OK, good.

Justin Edelstein: Good. When I get back, I'll know that happened. It's so funny. I used it, I think, two different times. I can't remember what though, but I remember using it. Also, speaking of Apple, isn't that red iPhone pretty? Oh yes, Apple had a little mini aspect. Pretty darn cool.

24:43 Jason Atwood: I really want one. I think people are really complaining that it's not red all around. Like they don't like that it's this big white face. You're not seeing it from the front.

Justin Edelstein: I'm only seeing it from the back, I guess. Yeah, the front,

Jason Atwood: Apparently it's white and it looks weird. It looks like it's wearing a case. case. Oh, the people still want it. Yeah, I know. Of course you want it. Watch as though yours into a red case.

Justin Edelstein: I could, although I have a pretty interesting case on my phone. Which you've already made as a pick of the week. Yeah, last week. Hidden topic? Oh, hidden. It's hidden. It's hidden all right. Yeah, so it's a real hidden thing.

Jason Atwood: Is this going to go on to the number of podcasts that we get in trouble for? No,

Justin Edelstein: We shoot straight. Is what we do. From the hip. We shoot straight.

Jason Atwood: So this is something that's been really bothering me R and I've been going back and forth and I've been coming a little social with it, a little social, a little mobile. But I'm irritated by this and I think it's shady and so I'm calling out Salesforce. Yep, calling out. So here's the deal, we are a work.com user. after. Meaning we pay for the licenses and we use, actually use work.com, the product, that they bought, what would they buy? They bought somebody. Anyway, do? No, do is the other one. That's the task man. Ripple. Ripple, right. So they turned in this product and they had a product team around it and product managers and they made it in something you bought and there were three different levels of licenses starting from $9 up to $20 per user per month.

Jason Atwood: And they said this is the future and it's great and people bought in. Great, that's part of, that's the cloud computing strategy. And they started integrating with Salesforce, it started off really bad and then they got it to like, it's okay, has some neat features. It's actually what brought thanks and badges into Salesforce, into Chatter was work.com. Then they kind of split that off.

Justin Edelstein: I had a very different user interface when it started. Yes, terrible. It was just not Salesforce. It was different.

Jason Atwood: And it wasn't native. It was native objects. And anyway, so over the year, over two years, I think they kind of built into Salesforce. It became a big talking point. So people sort of use it for there because you could do performance reviews, you can do gifting, you can do goal setting metrics, company goals,

Justin Edelstein: Very much very much. And at sales, right and sales performance. Definitely.

Jason Atwood: So you could be in chatter and have coaching spaces and all this sort of great stuff. Great. Love it. We bought in because, you know, hey, and we bought by we actually pay for. So my my our Arkus. The contract is coming up, our Salesforce contract, and I kind of been going, as lightning's been coming around and more and more lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning, I noticed the other day, maybe two months ago, I went into lightning and I went to try to do three things and one of them was, hey, let me go check my goals and let me go check coaching spaces and let me go, yeah, it's not there, it just doesn't work in lightning. So I'm like, oh, well, let me go find out if it's on the roadmap. It's not. And glared at the product manager in sales force in the success community.

27:48 Jason Atwood: Hey, is this on the product road? Is this going anywhere? like, you guys gonna do anything with this? Or is this dead? And then I, then I sort of looked like trying to find the work.com page. It's not there. And then I tried to find pricing around it. Not there. And slow, and I got more and more irritated because it was just kind of gone.

Justin Edelstein: And something you mean it was hidden.

Jason Atwood: It was hidden. Very good way of bringing it around. Thank you. So then my contract's coming up and I see on there on my new, you know, I see on my pricing, like so many licenses for work.com. Work.com online, you know, 13, 50 a month per user per month. I'm like, why? is not priced out anywhere on the website, is not in a roadmap, is not going to work in Lightning, how can you be adding this onto a contract that doesn't make sense? Like, if you're gonna kill off the product, fine, but you can't charge me to kill off the product. And really that's what's happening. Like, they're not really supporting it. They're not really selling it. But you can put But if you own it, they want you to keep using it,

Justin Edelstein: You gotta pay for it. But even though... But they won't take it away from you unless you stop paying. I mean, they'll take it if you stop paying to pay.

Jason Atwood: I bet, they wouldn't. They'd have to figure out how. That's our bad. We'll see. We'll put that on the podcast that happened. But I... Here's where I think it's sketchy. Because if it's something that you're no longer selling, if it's something you're no longer supporting, you should not be putting it on my contract for a two year renewal that I'm going to pay for. Because I know in a year if I said, hey, this thing isn't lightning enabled, why am I still paying for it? And I said, take it off my contract. They'd be like, oh no, can't take it off your contract. Right. So it's a dead product. First of all, admit that it's a dead product. That's it. in the Work.com community, put discontinued. This thing doesn't exist anymore. We're not selling it, it's not on the roadmap, it's going away, fine.

Jason Atwood: Two, you should either make it free or you should disable it. You should not be charging the exact same price of a product, because here's the thing, in the cloud computing space, one of the things we pay for under our monthly license is the upkeep and future building of the product. I pay for these products because they're going to keep building them and that's why I'm on a subscription basis. But I'm not subscribing to something that's dead. That makes no sense. That kills the cloud computing model. That kills subscription-based applications. I would no longer have an app on my phone that says, Subscribe for two years, but we've stopped development on it.

Justin Edelstein: No, I'm not, no. And it's not in the plans for where we're going in the future. And so,

Jason Atwood: I'm calling them out, I just think I've been doing a little bit on Twitter, doing a little bit in the success community, but I just think it's really, it's bad behavior and it's a little shady to do this and to not be more forthright about it, to not have it in release notes, to not have it in this thing, very up in front, this is what's happening, this is, and then what's the plan? So if you know they here's what I'd like to see them do. We're not moving forward with it. If you own it, well you can keep the license and keep using it until it stops working. I mean they just support it.

31:00 Justin Edelstein: Salesforce just increased their price for the first time in a very long time. Yep. why can't some of these quote legacy features that are just gonna live on in classic and not make their way to lightning, they're not investing in them anymore, just be covered by that increase in cost. I mean, we're paying more, right, for essentially less. And it's a product that is hidden. It's disappeared. It's a hidden product, yeah. And when we go to Lightning, which we said 2007 jeans give me the year of Lightning, right? We're going to move. Yeah. But we can't use all of the apps that we use. It's not like we built this one. Right. We bought this one. And we didn't buy it from an ISV.

Jason Atwood: And I still paid for it. We bought it from Salesforce. And I'm still paying for it. And that's what's getting me. And I don't, and I'm not. I'm not a lame.

Justin Edelstein: It's shady. You can't even use the thanks feature in Lightning. You can't even do that. I mean, let alone the goals and the metrics and the coaching spaces. And if you went so far to do performance reviews, which not many have, fine. But to not even be able to do a badge? Right, thanks badge? And that's in the success community.

Jason Atwood: What are they gonna do there? Yeah, I don't know, many unanswered questions. And again, I, Salesforce generally does a good job of being a little bit transparent. Hey, they're gonna kill off Cloud Scheduler. They tell you a year in advance. They're gonna kill off a request update, stupid feature. They tell you and they say it's going away. They're gonna kill off the free... on. Or was it the free support portal? Remember the like, you remember you used to get like a free support portal? I gave you 18 months to get off that thing. That's right. This needs to have a plan. It needs to be communicated and it needs to be front and foremost in the places that we go to look. But pretending that it's still like in the success community, in the group, the work.com group with over, it's like 800 people in it.

Jason Atwood: It's just like, look at the stuff that didn't in four releases ago. Like it's still pretending like it's still a thing. Don't pretend, it's not a thing. And honestly, you should stop charging for it and you should just make it free because you can't be charging for something if you're not supporting it, right? If you're not actively moving it forward into lightning. And if you say lightning is the future, then you can't be saying, hey, I'm gonna charge you for this thing. It doesn't even work in our new thing. Under your new lightning license. questions. My license is called Lightning, you're charging me more for it, but this thing that you're also charging me more for doesn't actually work in the thing that the whole license is named off of. So,

Justin Edelstein: Mark Bubba, call me. I'll tell you all about it. Don't work.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, so I'm going to get a little vocal, and we'll see. You just did. Well, I'll get a little more than this. It might be a blog post. -oh. Hidden blog posts. All right, let's make some non-hidden things. This is a great pick. This is the best pick you ever made. Is it? This is the first time you've ever found something of any, no, sense. Sense? I still use sense to this day. Every day. Go get it. Love it. Like tracking my sleep. This one I can tell you is it's already gonna be a winner. It's already a winner. You're using it right now. I'm using it right now and- You're using my thing. I have two of them. Like, I like this so much, I the company, no, I like this so much, I bought two of them.

34:29 Jason Atwood: So tell me what you're picking.

Justin Edelstein: I'm picking Hyperdrive. What? Hyperdrive. Hyperdrive. The Thunderbolt 3 USB-C 2016 MacBook Pro Hub. What now? Yeah, you heard me. So Basically, probably none of them work with USB-C natively. You have to have a dongle, a USB dongle, a dongle for HDMI, a dongle for VGA, a dongle for this, a dongle for that, and everything you can think of needs a dongle. What this product is, it's a little, I don't even know how to describe what it looks like. It's a little thing that hangs off the side of your computer. It's not a dongle because I think of dongles as like straps, like they have like cords. This just has two USB-C plugs that... plugs right into the side of the MacBook Pro and then plugs flush against it.

Jason Atwood: Right. I think they call them like a dock. It's like a mini dock. Kind of a dock. Right.

Justin Edelstein: And and it basically sits there and it has seven ports. So it takes two ports and turns it into seven. What? Right. So it has into seven. Right. So it has an HDMI video output. Thunderbolt 3, a USB-C. so that you don't lose the USB-C on that side. Actually, the Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C are kind of interchangeable. Because USB-C is also the lead.

Jason Atwood: You power it. So like you, right.

Justin Edelstein: You have an SD, an SD card reader, and a micro SD card reader. Awesome. And then two USB ports. Right. You get your two USB ports.

Jason Atwood: Back. So I love on there. So it was a Kickstarter, right. It was a to Kickstarter.

Justin Edelstein: I got in at 69 bucks, my pledge which was I mean they they raised they had a hundred thousand dollar goal and they raised 1.8 million dollars yeah and actually did it serious demand January or December and they it was it was almost as soon as the as soon as the MacBook was announced they were out there- It was like where do I get a thing that can do this and early bird got it for 49? no shipped in February and Then there were you know, basically you want to you want three?

Jason Atwood: A nice little thing. Yeah. I bought two. I bought one to like leave it home. I like to have as like my little mini dock and I want to throw in my bag because.

Justin Edelstein: You think it doesn't have its ethernet? Yeah, it doesn't have the ethernet, but that would make it not sit flush against, because it's too thin. It does. It's really nice, because it... I mean, you have all these dongles just hanging off of the machine, and it that's like, oh, this is a terrible. Great product, good pick.

Jason Atwood: I am also going to pick a Kickstarter. I am a huge fan. I think this is my third time and I just back their newest product. They just have a new one. Yeah. But this is a company called ADI, and they're, I guess, originally into like hydroponics and. They created the EcoCube, which was, you know, the fish and the plant lived together. And they created the EcoCube C, which is a smaller version of it. And now the third product, obviously they're using the sort of technology and the base to do the same thing, but they're kind of just changing it up a little. It's called the EcoCube Air. And it is a... It is so it's you know, it's a Tall rotangled light and it has a built-in water pump and humidifier inside and then you basically it has these rocks but little pebbles, and you put plants in it.

Jason Atwood: I put the seeds, so mine are growing, and then it's all in thing, a thing and then it kind of, you turn it, you have an app, you can set schedules, and then it kind of turns on, it self-waters, but it's all hydroponics, so there's no soil. So it just, right, so the the things they grow into the, into the like little pebbles, there's no soil. Have one somewhere. No, that's different. It's different. But this is right. So anyway, I have one of the original ones somewhere Right. This is just me to plants not about fish This is just about growing plants not about growing fish not about growing fish got it And it has an app on the phone that you then can control it and And you can give it different schedules on and off it can do lightning It does all the same stuff that from the other one It's really cute.

Jason Atwood: It's really neat. I tried to put an orchid in there because I had an orchid that was dying and that did not work. So then I started back with the seeds. We'll see how it grows. It's $129 right now on their website. It's pretty cool. I really like, I backed a bunch of these things, these kind of like apartment based. I got another one coming. about two more that are like, you know, built-in Bluetooth growing stations that does everything it does the light does the watering for like growing vegetables or for growing like mint and and whatever parsley, you know, in your apartment. So I'm really fascinated by the kind of like Actually, I don't live in the suburbs like the idea that I can grow like Stuff in my apartment, right? I love plants.

40:59 Jason Atwood: So this is kind of a neat thing and it does have a you can hit a thing It'll do it'll put up a lot of Mist into inside and it blows around in the wind and anyway kind of cool Oh, yeah, also has a fan like it blows a fan around the eco cube air Ne thing might be a good gift for somebody.
