'''Ana Reinert:''' And there were some just metal designs, some that had texture and some that were either black or silver. And the plastic, I think we're $12 and then the metal ones, I think we're closer to about 40.

'''David Sparks:''' Yeah. I'm 50. Oh, $10.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I'm getting hand gestures from Julia.

'''David Sparks:''' I'm super interested to see how these play out. Right. Like it's, it's an interesting concept. Let's see how it works. Yeah. And it could be cool.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Like I, somebody, um, they were sold out in DC. Um, so I wasn't able to get them there. So that was one of the things I really wanted to get here. Yeah. Cause I had somebody come up to me in DC and was just like, did you see this? This is the coolest thing ever. And I'm like, oh, how did I miss this? This is totally up my alley. Yeah.

'''David Sparks:''' So the last couple of things that I saw and like Myke, I just haven't had time to get around, you know, it's just been like a whirlwind day today. I was like, wow, we're really podcasting tonight and that's a few hours and we might want to like write the show or something like that. Put some notes down. And, but like, it's hard when you're in a place like this and seeing so many awesome people and seeing so much awesome stuff laying around. It's hard to just like not stop every two steps. Um, I always love coming to San Francisco because I get to see some of my friends from the Japanese market and Asian market. So Taizo from Yamamoto paper. Y'all should go check out his stuff. He does this thing, um, called, um, uh, paper testing, paper tasting. And he builds these kits of different types of papers, um, different colors and different textures. You got to eat them. Yeah. You got to eat them. They do look tasty.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Drink the ink and eat the paper.

'''David Sparks:''' Yep. That's right. And so he's done, he has, there must be 20 different kits for you to test out. And so you can figure out whether you like these papers or not and then order that specific paper, but they're really cool kits, um, on that. And then Lisa Van Es, of course, brought me over this little Midori notebook because it's a little pocket grid notebook and it has a two by two. Millimeter. So it's a two millimeter grid. So she knows I like to write tiny. So I got, uh, I got this, but the best part about good is a grid for ants. Yes. Yeah.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I told her to throw down the gauntlet and see if Brad could actually write that small. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I, I can get close. There's people here that can write smaller. Genuinely do not know what this notebook is for. Yeah. Well, that is the smallest grid I've ever seen. I have, I, nobody could write notes in there. You wouldn't be able to read them. I cannot fathom why. I'm glad you asked that.

'''David Sparks:''' I'm annoyed by this notebook. No, it's beautiful. It's beautiful. And there's actually a how to use page on. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cause you need a magnifying glass cause it's impossible.

'''David Sparks:''' Yeah. So it literally says how to use. And the first page is a pen writing on the page. The second page is turn the page when you're done with that page. And the third instruction is to close the notebook when you're done. So.
