00:02:11 ◼   ► would I haven't looked at any of this [TS]

00:02:13 ◼   ► because I want to wait for the show kind [TS]

00:02:21 ◼   ► yes some of the data and whenever that [TS]

00:02:25 ◼   ► was 24 hours after the show went up [TS]

00:02:27 ◼   ► there were already would seem like a [TS]

00:02:29 ◼   ► huge number of replies so lots of people [TS]

00:02:32 ◼   ► it seems like wanted to share their [TS]

00:02:35 ◼   ► information about when they learned or [TS]

00:02:38 ◼   ► did not learn to touch-type what is the [TS]

00:02:40 ◼   ► final number of people who filled out [TS]

00:02:42 ◼   ► the survey Mike 3944 people have given [TS]

00:02:47 ◼   ► their submissions for the cortex [TS]

00:02:49 ◼   ► touch-typing questionnaire which is the [TS]

00:02:52 ◼   ► water it's a lot it's a lot and the [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► reddit thread was ablaze and which ended [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► up not being very useful like [TS]

00:03:00 ◼   ► statistically because you cannot do [TS]

00:03:02 ◼   ► anything with all of that right all you [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► do is you just see the comments so i was [TS]

00:03:06 ◼   ► really pleased that we have the [TS]

00:03:07 ◼   ► questionnaire because we could actually [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► get data which could kind of try and [TS]

00:03:12 ◼   ► give us some answers so what I did was I [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► took 2,000 responses and put them into a [TS]

00:03:19 ◼   ► second sheet that i made public to the [TS]

00:03:21 ◼   ► world so people could take that data and [TS]

00:03:24 ◼   ► try and help us understand a little bit [TS]

00:03:27 ◼   ► better because the form on its own [TS]

00:03:29 ◼   ► didn't give me some of the answers that [TS]

00:03:31 ◼   ► I wanted so one that once we started [TS]

00:03:33 ◼   ► getting this data i was like maybe [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► interesting if we could break some of it [TS]

00:03:36 ◼   ► down by age right because we had the age [TS]

00:03:39 ◼   ► question in there but i was wondering [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► would it be different for older or [TS]

00:03:43 ◼   ► younger people as to how they are such [TS]

00:03:45 ◼   ► as to whether they were taught to touch [TS]

00:03:46 ◼   ► type that kind of thing we got some [TS]

00:03:49 ◼   ► fantastic responses and people doing [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► really interesting things with that data [TS]

00:03:53 ◼   ► which are going to put in the show notes [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► so you can continue to play around it if [TS]

00:03:57 ◼   ► you want to and take a look for yourself [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► but i think the overall points that I [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► took away from this is that it seems to [TS]

00:04:04 ◼   ► indicate from our data are completely [TS]

00:04:07 ◼   ► scientific data that the older you are [TS]

00:04:10 ◼   ► the more likely you are to know [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► how to touch type and also you're more [TS]

00:04:16 ◼   ► likely to have been taught school glue [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► and it also appears that the younger you [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► are the more likely you are able to [TS]

00:04:23 ◼   ► touch type on the touchscreen who that [TS]

00:04:25 ◼   ► was i guess everyone's hypothesis right [TS]

00:04:28 ◼   ► yeah but you never know actually never [TS]

00:04:30 ◼   ► not data and there is a much higher [TS]

00:04:33 ◼   ► amount of people in the younger age [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► brackets that could touch type or at [TS]

00:04:37 ◼   ► least self-identified as touch-typing [TS]

00:04:40 ◼   ► think that's one part that you know I [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► learned a few things in this like if i [TS]

00:04:45 ◼   ► would have thought we would have had the [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► size of responses that we did maybe a [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► lot of ask some questions differently [TS]

00:04:50 ◼   ► added in some other questions like you [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► know what is touch thing to you think [TS]

00:04:55 ◼   ► some people don't look at the keyboard [TS]

00:04:57 ◼   ► but that isn't what i think of as typing [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► I think of like that whole method that [TS]

00:05:02 ◼   ► you learn in typing classes i disagree [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► with you there [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► I totally disagree with you if you can [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► type on the keyboard without looking [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► that is touch typing as far as I'm [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► concerned [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► yeah okay now we are I get what you mean [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► like I'm just thinking like as a way to [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► understand if someone was taught it or [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► if they were self-taught I think because [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► when I think of like touch typing like [TS]

00:05:23 ◼   ► capitalized I think of like what how you [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► are tall in a typing class right as [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► opposed to like I cannot look a keyboard [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► and type III think they're above [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► completely valid I think they come from [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► different areas and now i'm interested [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► in learning of the people that know did [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► they teach themselves you know that kind [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► of thing though we have some of that [TS]

00:05:43 ◼   ► like the are you learning and did you [TS]

00:05:45 ◼   ► learn to touch type in schools that is [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► still more dated i can dig into it but [TS]

00:05:49 ◼   ► overall it was a very useful exercise [TS]

00:05:52 ◼   ► and we all learned something [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► yeah like I'm looking at some of the [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► charts that friend of the show [TS]

00:05:59 ◼   ► underscore david smith made and so for [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► example on the question did does your [TS]

00:06:06 ◼   ► school offer touch typing lessons that [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► peaks for people in the age range of 51 [TS]

00:06:12 ◼   ► 260 at almost eighty percent right there [TS]

00:06:15 ◼   ► they're saying like yes touch-typing was [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► a thing that their school offers and [TS]

00:06:20 ◼   ► then you get down to essentially zero [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► 221 that age bracket is about [TS]

00:06:26 ◼   ► looks like about forty five percent on [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► the chart yeah the slope follows upward [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► in that direction so the older you are [TS]

00:06:32 ◼   ► the more likely it is that you learn to [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► touch-type school but the one that I [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► really like is the question about can [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► you touch type on the glass without [TS]

00:06:42 ◼   ► looking [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► yep and that peaks for the 17 to 21 year [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► old demographic is essentially [TS]

00:06:49 ◼   ► 60-percent can type on a glass screen [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► without looking which is a higher [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► percentage than I would have expected [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► his way higher than I would have guessed [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► slightly younger is slightly less which [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► is a little bit surprising but I can [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► kind of see maybe why in retrospect my [TS]

00:07:06 ◼   ► thinking would be the people in the 0 2 [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► 16 bracket have had less experienced [TS]

00:07:12 ◼   ► yeah that was my thought [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► afterward as well it's it's a [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► combination of less experienced and [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► probably less need to do a lot of typing [TS]

00:07:20 ◼   ► yeah but it's still shockingly high at [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► fifty-five percent but what love is when [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► you get to the 60-plus percent the [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► number who can touch-type on a glass [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► screen without looking drops to exactly [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► zero percent okay yeah that's it's not [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► zero rounded off its exactly zero [TS]

00:07:41 ◼   ► percent of people 60 or older so that [TS]

00:07:44 ◼   ► they could type on glass without looking [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► and the 51 260 demographic is at just [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► barely six percent something that i also [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► picked up from looking in the red is it [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► seems like typing classes do still exist [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► but mainly in America who just from [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► looking at people's comments [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► it seems that not a lot of people in the [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► UK if any are in Europe thought touch [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► type but it seems like there are still [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► parts of America where it's part of the [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► curriculum because it wasn't like [TS]

00:08:16 ◼   ► presenting for everyone who had a lot of [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► people saying to me like what your [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► schools don't teach it so i will infer [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► from that no they do not and that yours [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► must do and you are in America so maybe [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► there's still some of that going on [TS]

00:08:28 ◼   ► yeah I i think this is interesting i'm [TS]

00:08:31 ◼   ► really glad that you took the time to [TS]

00:08:33 ◼   ► put the survey together because yes as [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► you said a a large large number of [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► anecdotal answers and read it is [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► interesting to read through [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► but it's hard to hold out more specific [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► trends [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► yep so this was this was great to have [TS]

00:08:45 ◼   ► the data and the links will be in the [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► show notes for people who want to play [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► around with it and visualize it further [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► than we have done so far today I think [TS]

00:08:55 ◼   ► the only downside from doing this is [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► that now i am survey hungry [TS]

00:09:00 ◼   ► what do you mean now I want to do [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► surveys for everything so I'm going to [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► have to just try and resist myself from [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► doing that [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► like now I want to know everything about [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► how people manage email but I won't do [TS]

00:09:27 ◼   ► well-done survey than that I think you [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► can go surfing crazy there's nothing [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► wrong with that [TS]

00:12:35 ◼   ► select people to work with in the future [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► how many submissions did you get all [TS]

00:12:41 ◼   ► right what would you guess resolution [TS]

00:12:43 ◼   ► this is a more fun game [TS]

00:12:45 ◼   ► take a guess what do you think 176 wow [TS]

00:12:51 ◼   ► look at you very precise guess there [TS]

00:12:54 ◼   ► because what if I'm right the best thing [TS]

00:12:56 ◼   ► ever right yeah that's exactly return [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► not return on this this roll of the dice [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► here [TS]

00:13:02 ◼   ► you look like a psychic expect correct [TS]

00:13:04 ◼   ► and you're almost certainly wrong anyway [TS]

00:13:07 ◼   ► so there's no there's no downside to [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► guessing exactly so here are the numbers [TS]

00:13:11 ◼   ► at the time that we are recording the [TS]

00:13:16 ◼   ► video has about 40,000 views so we can [TS]

00:13:19 ◼   ► assume that 40,000 people in someway [TS]

00:13:22 ◼   ► were exposed to the existence of this [TS]

00:13:26 ◼   ► application and when I took a look to [TS]

00:13:31 ◼   ► see what was in my dropbox folder which [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► was about a week after the supposed [TS]

00:13:36 ◼   ► deadline where i was going to look there [TS]

00:13:38 ◼   ► were 75 applications we can you take a [TS]

00:13:42 ◼   ► look at that's a really good number [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► because if it would have been a lot [TS]

00:13:49 ◼   ► higher than that one it would have been [TS]

00:13:50 ◼   ► super hard to go through and the quality [TS]

00:13:54 ◼   ► would have probably been an overall [TS]

00:13:56 ◼   ► worse i would expect that you are able [TS]

00:13:59 ◼   ► to really with it down to a more [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► manageable number [TS]

00:14:03 ◼   ► yeah and this is a bit of an estimate on [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► my part but I think that the number of [TS]

00:14:10 ◼   ► total submission that i may have gotten [TS]

00:14:13 ◼   ► might actually be quite close to your [TS]

00:14:15 ◼   ► guests around 150 because after the [TS]

00:14:19 ◼   ► point at which I looked at it I just had [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► a message to my assistance to anybody [TS]

00:14:24 ◼   ► who submitted from that point on she was [TS]

00:14:26 ◼   ► only to pass it along if it really [TS]

00:14:28 ◼   ► struck her as something worth taking a [TS]

00:14:30 ◼   ► look at right and I did see i did just [TS]

00:14:33 ◼   ► look and see briefly that there were a [TS]

00:14:35 ◼   ► bunch more submissions after that but [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► none of them made it through her barrier [TS]

00:14:39 ◼   ► ok I i wouldn't be surprised if the [TS]

00:14:42 ◼   ► total number was 150 but the number that [TS]

00:14:44 ◼   ► i actually looked at was 75 and this was [TS]

00:14:51 ◼   ► like like so many moments in life it is [TS]

00:14:53 ◼   ► really easy to overestimate how easy a [TS]

00:15:00 ◼   ► task is until you try to do it yourself [TS]

00:15:03 ◼   ► and so I just had a lot a lot of [TS]

00:15:08 ◼   ► sympathy for hiring managers and HR [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► people in this moment because everything [TS]

00:15:14 ◼   ► all this is going to be [TS]

00:15:15 ◼   ► super easy just to go through a bunch of [TS]

00:15:17 ◼   ► applications how hard can it possibly be [TS]

00:15:19 ◼   ► and it turns out the answer is it's a [TS]

00:15:21 ◼   ► lot harder than you think it is going [TS]

00:15:24 ◼   ► going through this so i ended up having [TS]

00:15:26 ◼   ► to break it into two parts i did a first [TS]

00:15:31 ◼   ► pass [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► we're all I have all I was doing was I [TS]

00:15:35 ◼   ► literally created a folder called [TS]

00:15:37 ◼   ► tolerable and so my estimation there was [TS]

00:15:42 ◼   ► all I want to do on round one is put [TS]

00:15:46 ◼   ► anything that is tolerable or better [TS]

00:15:49 ◼   ► into this folder because simply trying [TS]

00:15:52 ◼   ► to watch all of the videos since some of [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► them were very different in quality [TS]

00:15:58 ◼   ► it's like it was surprisingly hard to [TS]

00:16:00 ◼   ► make comparisons after watching three or [TS]

00:16:02 ◼   ► four videos like your brain just gets [TS]

00:16:04 ◼   ► really muddled up with all the details [TS]

00:16:06 ◼   ► so I thought ok I just need to do a [TS]

00:16:08 ◼   ► quick first pass of which ones are [TS]

00:16:10 ◼   ► definitely out and which ones are [TS]

00:16:12 ◼   ► definitely in so I sorted that way and [TS]

00:16:15 ◼   ► then I thought okay once i have done [TS]

00:16:17 ◼   ► that then I can try again to make finer [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► distinctions between some of the [TS]

00:16:21 ◼   ► applications but so that was that was [TS]

00:16:24 ◼   ► the round one and then I did around to [TS]

00:16:26 ◼   ► which was trying to limit it down a bit [TS]

00:16:28 ◼   ► further but that's that's how I ended up [TS]

00:16:30 ◼   ► doing this on my own so far [TS]

00:16:32 ◼   ► yeah that makes sense to me because i [TS]

00:16:34 ◼   ► think if you watch so many things in a [TS]

00:16:36 ◼   ► row you kind of lose track of what's [TS]

00:16:39 ◼   ► better than the one another right yeah [TS]

00:16:42 ◼   ► like whittling it down by like can i [TS]

00:16:44 ◼   ► watch this and it doesn't have my eyes [TS]

00:16:47 ◼   ► is a good way of doing things right [TS]

00:16:50 ◼   ► round one was basically identify the [TS]

00:16:52 ◼   ► instant nose right that that was all [TS]

00:16:55 ◼   ► over what we're trying to do because I [TS]

00:16:56 ◼   ► realized very quickly that as you're [TS]

00:16:57 ◼   ► watching through stuff you end up [TS]

00:17:00 ◼   ► comparing the thing that you're [TS]

00:17:01 ◼   ► currently watching mentally to the thing [TS]

00:17:03 ◼   ► that you have just watched you're like [TS]

00:17:05 ◼   ► wait a minute that's not that's not what [TS]

00:17:06 ◼   ► this comparison should be at all [TS]

00:17:07 ◼   ► I can't do this just all in one go in [TS]

00:17:11 ◼   ► the way was originally intending yeah so [TS]

00:17:14 ◼   ► it was interesting [TS]

00:17:16 ◼   ► just again since i think that the whole [TS]

00:17:18 ◼   ► purpose of this show is to talk like [TS]

00:17:21 ◼   ► about the about the details of being [TS]

00:17:23 ◼   ► self-employed and of course there's [TS]

00:17:24 ◼   ► there's some things here that I won't be [TS]

00:17:26 ◼   ► able to discuss because we're talking [TS]

00:17:27 ◼   ► about actual people but [TS]

00:17:29 ◼   ► of the 75 applications that i had 50 of [TS]

00:17:35 ◼   ► them were sorted as instant nose and 25 [TS]

00:17:39 ◼   ► of them were sorted as tolerable or [TS]

00:17:41 ◼   ► better so that was the round one of the [TS]

00:17:45 ◼   ► applications what happens next [TS]

00:17:48 ◼   ► was that I had to give my brain a couple [TS]

00:17:50 ◼   ► of days to filter that out into kind of [TS]

00:17:55 ◼   ► like okay forget what you've seen and I [TS]

00:17:58 ◼   ► need to come back to this at a later [TS]

00:18:00 ◼   ► point so I gave it i gave it a little [TS]

00:18:02 ◼   ► while because this is where we may [TS]

00:18:06 ◼   ► return to it later but a whole other [TS]

00:18:07 ◼   ► thing happened was distracted my [TS]

00:18:08 ◼   ► attention for a little bit so this has [TS]

00:18:09 ◼   ► gone on a bit longer than i would have [TS]

00:18:11 ◼   ► wanted to otherwise but when i came back [TS]

00:18:15 ◼   ► then I was trying to make a decision [TS]

00:18:18 ◼   ► about their these 25 applications i want [TS]

00:18:23 ◼   ► to narrow this down as much as i can [TS]

00:18:26 ◼   ► again based solely on the animation so [TS]

00:18:31 ◼   ► I'm still looking at all of these things [TS]

00:18:33 ◼   ► as files with just a single numbers i [TS]

00:18:35 ◼   ► don't know anything about the people [TS]

00:18:36 ◼   ► don't know where they are [TS]

00:18:37 ◼   ► I don't know their experience i'm just [TS]

00:18:39 ◼   ► looking at the animations and the second [TS]

00:18:41 ◼   ► round of cutting was up much harder [TS]

00:18:45 ◼   ► thing to do but i did around to that [TS]

00:18:49 ◼   ► took it from 25 down to 10 so that was [TS]

00:18:54 ◼   ► the the second round of trying to figure [TS]

00:18:57 ◼   ► out what's happening and there I was [TS]

00:18:59 ◼   ► looking at many more finer details about [TS]

00:19:02 ◼   ► the animations like out what what [TS]

00:19:04 ◼   ► choices did you make to animate this or [TS]

00:19:07 ◼   ► that some of the things that are very [TS]

00:19:09 ◼   ► hard to articulate is for example [TS]

00:19:11 ◼   ► watching a video is seeing did the [TS]

00:19:14 ◼   ► person get me to laugh when I'm watching [TS]

00:19:17 ◼   ► the video [TS]

00:19:17 ◼   ► did this person do something that [TS]

00:19:21 ◼   ► matches up with my sense of humor [TS]

00:19:23 ◼   ► this is again that's not to say that the [TS]

00:19:25 ◼   ► people that I didn't select weren't [TS]

00:19:27 ◼   ► funny but the question is do they match [TS]

00:19:30 ◼   ► up with the kind of joke that i might [TS]

00:19:33 ◼   ► make in a in a [TS]

00:19:35 ◼   ► video right like that's that's what I'm [TS]

00:19:37 ◼   ► looking for their and so yeah it was it [TS]

00:19:40 ◼   ► was it was against surprisingly hard to [TS]

00:19:43 ◼   ► do but it was down to 10 then so what's [TS]

00:19:48 ◼   ► happening now is that my assistant is [TS]

00:19:52 ◼   ► reaching out to those 10 and collecting [TS]

00:19:55 ◼   ► some information that i want to have [TS]

00:19:58 ◼   ► about the applications at this point to [TS]

00:20:01 ◼   ► be able to make some decisions about [TS]

00:20:02 ◼   ► where to go in the future is it seeming [TS]

00:20:05 ◼   ► like that this was the wolf wall [TS]

00:20:07 ◼   ► experiment you were hoping it would be [TS]

00:20:09 ◼   ► I'm feeling pretty good about how this [TS]

00:20:12 ◼   ► has been going [TS]

00:20:13 ◼   ► it's especially interesting to me [TS]

00:20:15 ◼   ► because I am has your recording i am [TS]

00:20:19 ◼   ► currently in the middle of animating my [TS]

00:20:22 ◼   ► next video which should be out in a few [TS]

00:20:25 ◼   ► days and of course while i am in the [TS]

00:20:29 ◼   ► process of animating this video I can't [TS]

00:20:30 ◼   ► help but have my mind constantly turn to [TS]

00:20:33 ◼   ► thinking about how will this be [TS]

00:20:35 ◼   ► different when i'm working with somebody [TS]

00:20:37 ◼   ► else and before the application went out [TS]

00:20:40 ◼   ► I was just really nervous and really [TS]

00:20:43 ◼   ► concerned about the kind of quality of [TS]

00:20:46 ◼   ► applications that i was going to get and [TS]

00:20:49 ◼   ► now now being future me who has seen the [TS]

00:20:51 ◼   ► applications i have to say that the [TS]

00:20:54 ◼   ► average quality of application was much [TS]

00:20:58 ◼   ► higher than i was expecting which to me [TS]

00:21:00 ◼   ► was a big big relief [TS]

00:21:02 ◼   ► ok I'm glad to see that there are lots [TS]

00:21:06 ◼   ► of skilled people in here [TS]

00:21:08 ◼   ► yeah and even i just i do have to say [TS]

00:21:10 ◼   ► that for lots of the applications that i [TS]

00:21:12 ◼   ► rejected those people could be motion [TS]

00:21:17 ◼   ► animators like without a doubt i [TS]

00:21:19 ◼   ► rejected people who could do this for a [TS]

00:21:21 ◼   ► living I like just but just the average [TS]

00:21:23 ◼   ► quality was quite high and then that's [TS]

00:21:25 ◼   ► where it starts to come down to again [TS]

00:21:27 ◼   ► just some of the particulars about how [TS]

00:21:29 ◼   ► would I do something or what are the [TS]

00:21:30 ◼   ► particular choices that they made it is [TS]

00:21:32 ◼   ► not necessarily about that person's [TS]

00:21:34 ◼   ► skill but it's their understanding of [TS]

00:21:37 ◼   ► your style which is to the point i guess [TS]

00:21:39 ◼   ► yeah exactly and the end but that that [TS]

00:21:43 ◼   ► is what made it so hard is because there [TS]

00:21:45 ◼   ► were definitely some applications where [TS]

00:21:46 ◼   ► I felt like [TS]

00:21:47 ◼   ► I want to reject this but this person is [TS]

00:21:49 ◼   ► undoubtedly good like they're very good [TS]

00:21:52 ◼   ► they just made decisions that I don't [TS]

00:21:55 ◼   ► agree with for my own style and it's [TS]

00:21:58 ◼   ► just a strange position to be in but [TS]

00:22:00 ◼   ► overall I was very happy to see the the [TS]

00:22:02 ◼   ► quality of the submissions and in my [TS]

00:22:07 ◼   ► experience of animating that the video [TS]

00:22:09 ◼   ► that I'm currently working on [TS]

00:22:11 ◼   ► it's a huge relief to know that in the [TS]

00:22:14 ◼   ► future i will almost certainly be [TS]

00:22:16 ◼   ► working with someone to help make this [TS]

00:22:18 ◼   ► process easier because I can tell I can [TS]

00:22:22 ◼   ► tell that i am still not fully recovered [TS]

00:22:24 ◼   ► from some of the RSI problems I had the [TS]

00:22:26 ◼   ► last video the video prior to that like [TS]

00:22:29 ◼   ► I am having to work in much shorter [TS]

00:22:32 ◼   ► bursts and with larger breaks between [TS]

00:22:34 ◼   ► verse like I can just still feel that i [TS]

00:22:37 ◼   ► am not fully recovered from that before [TS]

00:22:39 ◼   ► and so it's it's just I think everything [TS]

00:22:42 ◼   ► has happened at the right time think I [TS]

00:22:45 ◼   ► was already thinking about bringing [TS]

00:22:47 ◼   ► people on board i had a had a thing that [TS]

00:22:50 ◼   ► accelerated this whole process which I [TS]

00:22:52 ◼   ► think ultimately is good and I'm looking [TS]

00:22:54 ◼   ► at these applications and i have to say [TS]

00:22:56 ◼   ► of of the 10 people that I'm going to [TS]

00:22:59 ◼   ► get some more information about I think [TS]

00:23:02 ◼   ► any of them i could imagine working with [TS]

00:23:05 ◼   ► to produce animations in the future I i [TS]

00:23:08 ◼   ► think that there's there are definitely [TS]

00:23:10 ◼   ► people here that I can work with and I [TS]

00:23:13 ◼   ► want to work with in the future [TS]

00:23:15 ◼   ► resuming presuming that everything works [TS]

00:23:17 ◼   ► out between us and that it's all ok we [TS]

00:23:21 ◼   ► plan on giving feedback to the [TS]

00:23:24 ◼   ► applicants it was a thing that crossed [TS]

00:23:26 ◼   ► my mind because I remember when I was [TS]

00:23:31 ◼   ► applying for a job as a teacher that the [TS]

00:23:35 ◼   ► schools did give feedback to people if [TS]

00:23:37 ◼   ► they didn't select you what the very [TS]

00:23:39 ◼   ► first school I ever applied to [TS]

00:23:41 ◼   ► I didn't realize they were offering me a [TS]

00:23:42 ◼   ► job and I sort of talk myself out of the [TS]

00:23:44 ◼   ► job and then I got some feedback about [TS]

00:23:46 ◼   ► how like you seemed really uncommitted [TS]

00:23:48 ◼   ► to the school and then I realized like [TS]

00:23:49 ◼   ► oh I realized what was happening here [TS]

00:23:53 ◼   ► I had this ok I have to tell you now but [TS]

00:23:58 ◼   ► I i applied to the school which was very [TS]

00:24:00 ◼   ► high on the list like I had a short list [TS]

00:24:01 ◼   ► of three schools that i really want to [TS]

00:24:03 ◼   ► work at and i applied to one of them and [TS]

00:24:05 ◼   ► you do the whole you do a whole test [TS]

00:24:08 ◼   ► lesson and then you talk to the head of [TS]

00:24:10 ◼   ► department and then you talk to the head [TS]

00:24:11 ◼   ► of the school and then presumably they [TS]

00:24:13 ◼   ► have a little meeting about you and then [TS]

00:24:14 ◼   ► they walk you out to the front and [TS]

00:24:16 ◼   ► someone's talking to you and as the head [TS]

00:24:17 ◼   ► of head of department was walking me out [TS]

00:24:19 ◼   ► of the building he was going [TS]

00:24:21 ◼   ► what would you say if we offered you the [TS]

00:24:24 ◼   ► job right now and I said all I i I'd [TS]

00:24:28 ◼   ► have to think about it I because I i [TS]

00:24:30 ◼   ► don't i don't like to make decisions on [TS]

00:24:33 ◼   ► the spot is like but what if what if we [TS]

00:24:36 ◼   ► were going to offer it to you right now [TS]

00:24:39 ◼   ► as like I would just I would just have [TS]

00:24:41 ◼   ► to think about it and felt like I was [TS]

00:24:45 ◼   ► just a little late it was just didn't [TS]

00:24:48 ◼   ► realize what was occurring there and I [TS]

00:24:51 ◼   ► remember he was like really insistent on [TS]

00:24:54 ◼   ► this point all the way out to the front [TS]

00:24:55 ◼   ► door about but if we were to tell you at [TS]

00:24:59 ◼   ► this very moment that you could start [TS]

00:25:01 ◼   ► work immediately what would you think [TS]

00:25:03 ◼   ► about that now it's like I would just [TS]

00:25:04 ◼   ► have to think about it and then it was a [TS]

00:25:06 ◼   ► couple days later when I got a phone [TS]

00:25:08 ◼   ► call from the headmistress and she was [TS]

00:25:10 ◼   ► telling me how it seems like i was [TS]

00:25:11 ◼   ► uncommitted to the school and then like [TS]

00:25:13 ◼   ► the other penny dropped like oh that's [TS]

00:25:16 ◼   ► what was happening at that's my [TS]

00:25:20 ◼   ► experience with feedback for applying to [TS]

00:25:21 ◼   ► jobs no desire to have an impulse but [TS]

00:25:26 ◼   ► enough like when i watch shark tank [TS]

00:25:28 ◼   ► I always think when the vc's offer a [TS]

00:25:29 ◼   ► deal and like all is it weird here's the [TS]

00:25:31 ◼   ► deal but you have to say yes or no right [TS]

00:25:32 ◼   ► now I'm sorry might like a policy is now [TS]

00:25:34 ◼   ► if you if you need me to decide right [TS]

00:25:35 ◼   ► now the answers right but this is why [TS]

00:25:37 ◼   ► you would never go on that show [TS]

00:25:39 ◼   ► I don't know we're never going to this [TS]

00:25:41 ◼   ► is pointless but they get a reasonable [TS]

00:30:23 ◼   ► about that before about like someone who [TS]

00:30:25 ◼   ► would be animator and illustrator [TS]

00:30:29 ◼   ► is this something that you think might [TS]

00:30:31 ◼   ► exist in these people [TS]

00:30:33 ◼   ► yeah i would say that all of these [TS]

00:30:36 ◼   ► people would be totally fine as animator [TS]

00:30:39 ◼   ► illustrators and what I was kind of [TS]

00:30:42 ◼   ► thinking from the beginning but didn't [TS]

00:30:44 ◼   ► quite want to say is work [TS]

00:30:45 ◼   ► collaboratively on storyboards iie if a [TS]

00:30:49 ◼   ► person is good [TS]

00:30:50 ◼   ► my thought is I want their feedback on a [TS]

00:30:53 ◼   ► storyboard if i can give them a script i [TS]

00:30:55 ◼   ► think i think a good work flow again [TS]

00:30:59 ◼   ► this is me just speculating just [TS]

00:31:00 ◼   ► thinking about it in the future but all [TS]

00:31:02 ◼   ► of these people seem really good and so [TS]

00:31:04 ◼   ► my thought is that if I have scripts one [TS]

00:31:06 ◼   ► of the things that might be able to do [TS]

00:31:07 ◼   ► is say look here is the script i'm going [TS]

00:31:10 ◼   ► to do a rough storyboard you separately [TS]

00:31:13 ◼   ► do a rough storyboard and together let's [TS]

00:31:15 ◼   ► see what is the best thing to do right [TS]

00:31:18 ◼   ► because those people have already done [TS]

00:31:19 ◼   ► that [TS]

00:31:20 ◼   ► right exactly that was the first [TS]

00:31:21 ◼   ► challenge right was taken just the audio [TS]

00:31:25 ◼   ► not even the script right making it even [TS]

00:31:28 ◼   ► harder than it would be manned make [TS]

00:31:31 ◼   ► something entertaining out of this and [TS]

00:31:33 ◼   ► to get into that position there and now [TS]

00:31:35 ◼   ► they have done that [TS]

00:31:36 ◼   ► yeah so it's again it's it's a it's a [TS]

00:31:39 ◼   ► strong group of people and all of them [TS]

00:31:42 ◼   ► could be an animator illustrators story [TS]

00:31:45 ◼   ► border people so i think a camera camera [TS]

00:31:48 ◼   ► what I said last episode that i was [TS]

00:31:50 ◼   ► expecting like a twenty-five percent [TS]

00:31:51 ◼   ► chance that i might be able to find [TS]

00:31:53 ◼   ► someone who fills that all in one roll [TS]

00:31:55 ◼   ► and here i am with 10 possibilities of [TS]

00:31:59 ◼   ► people who could fill that all in one [TS]

00:32:00 ◼   ► roll so I think I dramatically [TS]

00:32:03 ◼   ► dramatically underestimated last time [TS]

00:32:06 ◼   ► that was my bet by the way that you [TS]

00:32:08 ◼   ► would find lots of people that could do [TS]

00:32:10 ◼   ► both because how else could they have [TS]

00:32:11 ◼   ► gotten to the point where they made the [TS]

00:32:13 ◼   ► submission [TS]

00:32:14 ◼   ► yeah it wasn't you are you are totally [TS]

00:32:16 ◼   ► right [TS]

00:32:17 ◼   ► you were right on this one hashtag Mike [TS]

00:32:19 ◼   ► was right i guess practice you like to [TS]

00:32:21 ◼   ► hear that I'd love to hit record i know [TS]

00:32:23 ◼   ► it's his sweet sweet sound to your ears [TS]

00:32:26 ◼   ► i'll give it to you he's called to my [TS]

00:32:27 ◼   ► emotional wellness so you found these [TS]

00:32:32 ◼   ► ten people is that going to be a fleet [TS]

00:32:35 ◼   ► of cgpgrey and a major illustrators back [TS]

00:32:39 ◼   ► if you have 10 now it's an abundance [TS]

00:32:42 ◼   ► this is where i have found things a [TS]

00:32:45 ◼   ► little bit tricky is I'm I'm not 100% [TS]

00:32:48 ◼   ► sure how to proceed from this point [TS]

00:32:51 ◼   ► yeah because again this is where I for [TS]

00:32:59 ◼   ► the purposes of hiring I again wish that [TS]

00:33:01 ◼   ► I was a bigger entity i would love to be [TS]

00:33:05 ◼   ► able to do something like bring on three [TS]

00:33:09 ◼   ► animators and and have them work on [TS]

00:33:11 ◼   ► stuff but the question is I just don't [TS]

00:33:13 ◼   ► reduce enough writing at this point to [TS]

00:33:16 ◼   ► support something like that is just it [TS]

00:33:20 ◼   ► is it is just not practical [TS]

00:33:22 ◼   ► so I I don't really know how this is [TS]

00:33:24 ◼   ► this is going to proceed and this is [TS]

00:33:27 ◼   ► partly why i am doing this information [TS]

00:33:29 ◼   ► gathering stage on the people who have [TS]

00:33:30 ◼   ► applied because I could easily see you [TS]

00:33:36 ◼   ► know one of two outcomes for this I [TS]

00:33:39 ◼   ► could I could see either having one [TS]

00:33:42 ◼   ► person who does a large amount of work [TS]

00:33:45 ◼   ► for me or I could see rotating between a [TS]

00:33:51 ◼   ► few people and one of the interesting [TS]

00:33:53 ◼   ► things about this submission process [TS]

00:33:56 ◼   ► which I did expect but didn't explicitly [TS]

00:34:00 ◼   ► want to say is that a couple of people [TS]

00:34:03 ◼   ► ignored what was seemingly the most [TS]

00:34:08 ◼   ► important piece of advice which was you [TS]

00:34:11 ◼   ► are to animate this video in my style [TS]

00:34:13 ◼   ► and I anticipated that some people would [TS]

00:34:17 ◼   ► just totally ignore that but still [TS]

00:34:20 ◼   ► produce very interesting work and so I [TS]

00:34:25 ◼   ► have a couple of submissions which fall [TS]

00:34:27 ◼   ► into that category of this is obviously [TS]

00:34:31 ◼   ► not a video that I could have ever [TS]

00:34:33 ◼   ► produced no one would watch this and [TS]

00:34:36 ◼   ► think boy cgpgrey got a little bit [TS]

00:34:38 ◼   ► better at animating is like no no see [TS]

00:34:40 ◼   ► great did not get this good animating [TS]

00:34:42 ◼   ► like somebody else did this this does [TS]

00:34:43 ◼   ► not look like his style at all and so [TS]

00:34:46 ◼   ► those submissions are interesting in a [TS]

00:34:49 ◼   ► different way maybe there's a way that [TS]

00:34:52 ◼   ► the future of the siege be great channel [TS]

00:34:53 ◼   ► that it has [TS]

00:34:54 ◼   ► rotating styles that just like in the [TS]

00:34:58 ◼   ► past i have had Knut do animation for a [TS]

00:35:01 ◼   ► few of my videos Lord of the Rings [TS]

00:35:03 ◼   ► videos the star trek videos like maybe [TS]

00:35:05 ◼   ► going forward in the future there might [TS]

00:35:07 ◼   ► be a couple of different animation [TS]

00:35:08 ◼   ► styles you already do have different [TS]

00:35:10 ◼   ► styles so attracted like you have the [TS]

00:35:13 ◼   ► like the slideshow e-type ones [TS]

00:35:16 ◼   ► it's like the royal family tree and the [TS]

00:35:19 ◼   ► political ones like the voting ones then [TS]

00:35:22 ◼   ► you also have like great explains where [TS]

00:35:24 ◼   ► it's little stick figure guide talking [TS]

00:35:26 ◼   ► right or you go like full-on stop for [TS]

00:35:29 ◼   ► edge 15-minute mini-documentary right so [TS]

00:35:33 ◼   ► what you are saying right now is the [TS]

00:35:36 ◼   ► thing that everybody i have spoken to [TS]

00:35:38 ◼   ► says write back to me like you know you [TS]

00:35:40 ◼   ► already do this right [TS]

00:35:41 ◼   ► look at you don't you don't actually [TS]

00:35:43 ◼   ► have a single style that every single [TS]

00:35:46 ◼   ► video looks like you already do this and [TS]

00:35:49 ◼   ► so part of me feels like that is quite [TS]

00:35:52 ◼   ► naturally the solution going forward [TS]

00:35:53 ◼   ► that the people that I am working with [TS]

00:35:57 ◼   ► might end up just having their own style [TS]

00:36:00 ◼   ► so I have a couple of different looking [TS]

00:36:02 ◼   ► things on the channel but now the only [TS]

00:36:04 ◼   ► thing that's different is that it is [TS]

00:36:06 ◼   ► other people who have made them it is [TS]

00:36:07 ◼   ► not me because from my perspective since [TS]

00:36:11 ◼   ► i have made all the videos I think I [TS]

00:36:14 ◼   ► over assume their visual similarity to [TS]

00:36:19 ◼   ► the viewer because i have made them if [TS]

00:36:21 ◼   ► you see what if you see what I mean and [TS]

00:36:23 ◼   ► saying like oh if I've other people [TS]

00:36:24 ◼   ► doing different things it'll look just [TS]

00:36:26 ◼   ► crazy different every single video but I [TS]

00:36:28 ◼   ► i imagine that that is largely the [TS]

00:36:30 ◼   ► experience of the viewer already check [TS]

00:36:32 ◼   ► out this video looks nothing like the [TS]

00:36:35 ◼   ► other cgpgrey videos and you know if you [TS]

00:36:37 ◼   ► go back earlier in the channel like [TS]

00:36:38 ◼   ► there's tons of videos that don't even [TS]

00:36:40 ◼   ► have the notion of stick figure [TS]

00:36:42 ◼   ► cgpgrey like there's a bunch of videos [TS]

00:36:44 ◼   ► that don't even have that what now feels [TS]

00:36:46 ◼   ► like a constant element right i was [TS]

00:36:48 ◼   ► totally missing from probably half of my [TS]

00:36:50 ◼   ► videos i'm gonna say i tip my hat to [TS]

00:36:53 ◼   ► those people [TS]

00:36:54 ◼   ► yeah what do you mean it's supposed to [TS]

00:36:56 ◼   ► move it is it is a total ballsy move and [TS]

00:36:59 ◼   ► I think that that shows a level of [TS]

00:37:01 ◼   ► creativity which and confidence which [TS]

00:37:05 ◼   ► could be beneficial [TS]

00:37:07 ◼   ► those people were confident [TS]

00:37:08 ◼   ► nothing their own style and their own [TS]

00:37:10 ◼   ► ability that they could create something [TS]

00:37:12 ◼   ► that was different even though you [TS]

00:37:14 ◼   ► explicitly asked for the same yeah and [TS]

00:37:17 ◼   ► this is this is kind of what I was I was [TS]

00:37:20 ◼   ► getting at last time we were talking [TS]

00:37:22 ◼   ► about talents but I still want to be a [TS]

00:37:24 ◼   ► little bit indirect about it that the [TS]

00:37:26 ◼   ► people who are going to do that they're [TS]

00:37:28 ◼   ► just going to do that anyway [TS]

00:37:29 ◼   ► yeah right this is faithful even the [TS]

00:37:31 ◼   ► permeability which they should write you [TS]

00:37:34 ◼   ► know sometimes that goes terribly wrong [TS]

00:37:36 ◼   ► I did I did reject very quickly some [TS]

00:37:40 ◼   ► videos that made that move oh but in a [TS]

00:37:43 ◼   ► way like now this is this is not going [TS]

00:37:44 ◼   ► to work [TS]

00:37:45 ◼   ► yeah it is it is the daring move and [TS]

00:37:48 ◼   ► it's it's an interesting move and it's [TS]

00:37:50 ◼   ► like I said who I was anticipating that [TS]

00:37:52 ◼   ► this would happen but I i wasn't going [TS]

00:37:56 ◼   ► to bank on it as a one hundred percent [TS]

00:37:58 ◼   ► certainty [TS]

00:37:59 ◼   ► hey so a couple of times you have [TS]

00:38:02 ◼   ► mentioned that something kept you busy [TS]

00:38:06 ◼   ► like he said that you had to take some [TS]

00:38:08 ◼   ► days off because you were busy central [TS]

00:38:10 ◼   ► mosque was going on over there [TS]

00:38:12 ◼   ► we then you know just just gray [TS]

00:47:31 ◼   ► Mac is designed to make switching [TS]

00:50:58 ◼   ► type very quickly and then I think those [TS]

00:51:02 ◼   ► two things started me down on the right [TS]

00:51:04 ◼   ► path and then now that I type with [TS]

00:51:08 ◼   ► dvorak i think that the amount i am [TS]

00:51:13 ◼   ► moving my hands is now under the [TS]

00:51:16 ◼   ► threshold that would cause me RSI [TS]

00:51:18 ◼   ► problems right whereas before with [TS]

00:51:21 ◼   ► qwerty i think it was over the threshold [TS]

00:51:24 ◼   ► but i may not be representative of the [TS]

00:51:28 ◼   ► general population it is very possible [TS]

00:51:30 ◼   ► that i am right on the edge with that [TS]

00:51:32 ◼   ► kind of thing whereas everybody with RSI [TS]

00:51:36 ◼   ► problems they have some threshold some [TS]

00:51:39 ◼   ► people's thresholds are naturally hire [TS]

00:51:41 ◼   ► some people thresholds are naturally [TS]

00:51:42 ◼   ► lower and that is going to affect what [TS]

00:51:46 ◼   ► helps you or what doesn't help you and [TS]

00:51:48 ◼   ► so I i suspect that typing wise i was [TS]

00:51:52 ◼   ► right on some threshold we're changing [TS]

00:51:55 ◼   ► to dvorak switched but if your [TS]

00:51:56 ◼   ► sensitivity to our side problems is very [TS]

00:51:59 ◼   ► high switching to dvorak might not help [TS]

00:52:01 ◼   ► you at all right it might just cost you [TS]

00:52:03 ◼   ► some time and not be beneficial [TS]

00:52:06 ◼   ► so that that's why i always try to be [TS]

00:52:08 ◼   ► really careful when I talk about it like [TS]

00:52:10 ◼   ► it helped me but I'm not sure that I can [TS]

00:52:13 ◼   ► universally recommend it though i would [TS]

00:52:17 ◼   ► say if you are having RSI problems [TS]

00:52:22 ◼   ► it doesn't necessarily hurt to try [TS]

00:52:25 ◼   ► like it because what else are you going [TS]

00:52:27 ◼   ► to do you can try different split [TS]

00:52:29 ◼   ► keyboard like there's a bunch of stuff [TS]

00:52:30 ◼   ► that you can try and dvorak is one of [TS]

00:52:33 ◼   ► those tools and [TS]

00:52:35 ◼   ► i know i've i've used split keyboard [TS]

00:52:37 ◼   ► like I've done a bunch of that other [TS]

00:52:38 ◼   ► stuff but I I think switching the layout [TS]

00:52:40 ◼   ► was was the thing that worked well for [TS]

00:52:41 ◼   ► me but I am NOT a doctor did not play [TS]

00:52:44 ◼   ► one on a podcast all I will say is with [TS]

00:52:48 ◼   ► the commack people i don't know how much [TS]

00:52:50 ◼   ► easier it is to actually switch to [TS]

00:52:52 ◼   ► commack my suspicion is that if you can [TS]

00:52:57 ◼   ► get dvorak or you're going to commack [TS]

00:52:59 ◼   ► either way you're going to feel like [TS]

00:53:01 ◼   ► you've had a stroke [TS]

00:53:02 ◼   ► I can't imagine it's going to be that [TS]

00:53:04 ◼   ► much of a difference so i think that the [TS]

00:53:07 ◼   ► thing that really matters is just [TS]

00:53:09 ◼   ► knowing that whatever device you are [TS]

00:53:12 ◼   ► going to use has software level support [TS]

00:53:15 ◼   ► for the keyboard that you were going to [TS]

00:53:17 ◼   ► use like that is the primary feature [TS]

00:53:21 ◼   ► okay Mike last week I told you about the [TS]

00:53:27 ◼   ► one true email app which is Uni box and [TS]

00:53:30 ◼   ► i would like to know if you have tried [TS]

00:53:32 ◼   ► it since then i have set up unit box or [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► my devices today and I've played with it [TS]

00:53:40 ◼   ► then I can see a utility for it but i [TS]

00:53:44 ◼   ► don't think i will use it as much as you [TS]

00:53:47 ◼   ► do [TS]

00:53:47 ◼   ► I know exactly when I will use unity box [TS]

00:53:50 ◼   ► when is that when i go on trips [TS]

00:53:54 ◼   ► ok so why why on trips versus other [TS]

00:53:59 ◼   ► times what was your thinking here so [TS]

00:54:00 ◼   ► when I'm when I one trips this can be [TS]

00:54:02 ◼   ► vacations or work trips i have less time [TS]

00:54:05 ◼   ► to devote to email so whenever I do open [TS]

00:54:10 ◼   ► my email inbox i would like to be able [TS]

00:54:13 ◼   ► to a glance pick out important things [TS]

00:54:16 ◼   ► and that would be by person who so it's [TS]

00:54:20 ◼   ► very likely that you know if I'm not [TS]

00:54:22 ◼   ► looking email for a few days I might [TS]

00:54:23 ◼   ► have a few emails from a few important [TS]

00:54:25 ◼   ► people and they'll be grouped together [TS]

00:54:26 ◼   ► in your box and it's a better way I [TS]

00:54:28 ◼   ► think to manage a large inbox [TS]

00:54:33 ◼   ► mm so i will definitely use it then [TS]

00:54:35 ◼   ► which is why I'm keeping it installed [TS]

00:54:37 ◼   ► because i know that at times where i can [TS]

00:54:39 ◼   ► only just dip into this and pick out [TS]

00:54:41 ◼   ► important things and I know there's [TS]

00:54:42 ◼   ► gonna be a lot more in the unusual this [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► would be a really good way of glance to [TS]

00:54:47 ◼   ► get a view of [TS]

00:54:48 ◼   ► what is happening which is why I also [TS]

00:54:51 ◼   ► think that this app is kind of made for [TS]

00:54:55 ◼   ► your style of email because that's kind [TS]

00:54:58 ◼   ► of how you mean it sounds like I'm [TS]

00:55:00 ◼   ► making a drug but I'm being serious like [TS]

00:55:02 ◼   ► this this is how you kind of always do [TS]

00:55:04 ◼   ► your email right is it all you would let [TS]

00:55:07 ◼   ► it build up then you go in and you drop [TS]

00:55:10 ◼   ► away at it but mostly you need to see [TS]

00:55:13 ◼   ► email from maybe one person [TS]

00:55:15 ◼   ► yeah and that's what makes your [TS]

00:55:16 ◼   ► situation different to most of the [TS]

00:55:18 ◼   ► people [TS]

00:55:19 ◼   ► yeah this was something which someone [TS]

00:55:22 ◼   ► the reddit left a comment along the [TS]

00:55:23 ◼   ► lines like you need a box is the perfect [TS]

00:55:26 ◼   ► email app if you only check your email [TS]

00:55:28 ◼   ► once a week that is very accurate [TS]

00:55:30 ◼   ► I I realized in retrospect I think i had [TS]

00:55:32 ◼   ► not quite really articulated that [TS]

00:55:35 ◼   ► whatever that really got a laugh out of [TS]

00:55:37 ◼   ► me because I realized as soon as i read [TS]

00:55:38 ◼   ► that [TS]

00:55:39 ◼   ► yes of course that is exactly the [TS]

00:55:41 ◼   ► purpose of this email app is if you are [TS]

00:55:44 ◼   ► checking your email all the time the [TS]

00:55:46 ◼   ► very feature that it is built around [TS]

00:55:48 ◼   ► sort by sender is almost entirely [TS]

00:55:50 ◼   ► useless to you [TS]

00:55:51 ◼   ► whereas if you are someone like me who [TS]

00:55:54 ◼   ► wants to check their email in box once a [TS]

00:55:57 ◼   ► week and then for as little time is [TS]

00:56:00 ◼   ► humanly possible then this is the email [TS]

00:56:03 ◼   ► client for you but i think is more is [TS]

00:56:05 ◼   ► more than just sort by sender that makes [TS]

00:56:07 ◼   ► it useless the grouping yeah you know [TS]

00:56:10 ◼   ► because i think you can have other apps [TS]

00:56:11 ◼   ► i know you've tried not may do it but [TS]

00:56:13 ◼   ► sort by sender is anything to do is just [TS]

00:56:15 ◼   ► a different way to sort the inbox but it [TS]

00:56:17 ◼   ► goes an extra step to group email from [TS]

00:56:20 ◼   ► the same person even if it's a different [TS]

00:56:22 ◼   ► thread together that's that's a whole [TS]

00:56:24 ◼   ► different scenario [TS]

00:56:26 ◼   ► yeah and that's that's what I thought I [TS]

00:56:28 ◼   ► totally love about it i applaud doing it [TS]

00:56:31 ◼   ► this way right that you have a a way of [TS]

00:56:34 ◼   ► wanting to manage email that is [TS]

00:56:37 ◼   ► different and going for it [TS]

00:56:39 ◼   ► I wish that more apps would do that in [TS]

00:56:41 ◼   ► all honesty like find of thing that [TS]

00:56:43 ◼   ► works for you and go for it like it was [TS]

00:56:46 ◼   ► one of the things that I loved about [TS]

00:56:47 ◼   ► mailbox right like the idea of mailbox [TS]

00:56:50 ◼   ► was focused around [TS]

00:56:52 ◼   ► what they referred to as inbox zero with [TS]

00:56:55 ◼   ► you is like a real twist on what it [TS]

00:56:57 ◼   ► actually started out as being their idea [TS]

00:57:01 ◼   ► was clear the email from your inbox [TS]

00:57:03 ◼   ► whether you are marking it is to do [TS]

00:57:06 ◼   ► using it for later answering it or [TS]

00:57:08 ◼   ► archiving it but like at the end of the [TS]

00:57:10 ◼   ► day have nothing in there and I like the [TS]

00:57:13 ◼   ► whole app was built around that ideology [TS]

00:57:16 ◼   ► whether it's right or wrong like that [TS]

00:57:19 ◼   ► was the way that they built their [TS]

00:57:20 ◼   ► application and that's what I also liked [TS]

00:57:21 ◼   ► about you know box and I wish that more [TS]

00:57:23 ◼   ► email applications would come with some [TS]

00:57:26 ◼   ► kind of overriding like theory to them [TS]

00:57:28 ◼   ► write some design philosophy on around [TS]

00:57:31 ◼   ► you know how should you handle messages [TS]

00:57:34 ◼   ► yep and that is exactly what my new [TS]

00:57:36 ◼   ► email and password which is do [TS]

00:57:38 ◼   ► everything to them i think is the [TS]

00:57:40 ◼   ► overall theory of air mail [TS]

00:58:02 ◼   ► yeah should be envelope ok Oh terrible [TS]

00:58:06 ◼   ► this is what happens when you talk to [TS]

00:58:07 ◼   ► Americans are doing well I know mobile [TS]

00:58:09 ◼   ► mobile envelopes [TS]

00:58:11 ◼   ► this is just accent drift there's [TS]

00:58:13 ◼   ► there's no way to avoid this [TS]

00:58:15 ◼   ► I know you can you can hear this in my [TS]

00:58:18 ◼   ► voice [TS]

00:58:21 ◼   ► early videos like you go back and you [TS]

00:58:23 ◼   ► listen to that you can explain video the [TS]

00:58:24 ◼   ► very first 1i sound like a totally [TS]

00:58:27 ◼   ► different person because that was the me [TS]

00:58:30 ◼   ► who spoke to british people all day long [TS]

00:58:32 ◼   ► right my accent drifted in the opposite [TS]

00:58:36 ◼   ► way and then since I left schools and [TS]

00:58:39 ◼   ► don't talk to british people all day [TS]

00:58:41 ◼   ► long my accent has very naturally just [TS]

00:58:44 ◼   ► drifted back that's much more towards [TS]

00:58:47 ◼   ► the normal American I wouldn't have [TS]

00:58:48 ◼   ► expected that to happen in schools I [TS]

00:58:51 ◼   ► think it's worse because you're aiming [TS]

00:58:56 ◼   ► to be non distracting and so I was [TS]

00:58:59 ◼   ► actually very conscious particularly [TS]

00:59:05 ◼   ► version of my American accent right [TS]
