So we were talking about focus, and I made my little comment. Yeah, I have something to – a focus topic, and that's related to NotCo. And it's a blog post we did last week on some changes that we're making. But I don't guess they really affect anyone, but it was just more that we wanted to make a post just for clarity's sake because we – as we've started this business, Jeff and I are both new entrepreneurs, new businessmen, and trying to decide on what we want to do for <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">NOC</del>. And we always thought we wanted to carry other products aside from our cases and aside from our paper products that we're making and creating to complement those. And we have done that with our friends Dan at Karis Customs and Myke at Dudek Modern Goods. And we've had those collaborations. And then on top of that, we started stocking TWSBI pens and Organic Studio inks. And what we found is it's causing a little bit of a distraction from what our main focus needs to be, which is actually the manufacturing of our case products and our paper products and collaborating with other makers to make unique products. So right now we're going to stop carrying TWSBI and Organic Studios. And obviously nothing wrong with those two brands. They're really, really great, and I use them and love those products. But it's just kind of not a fit for us right now. It's not what we're trying to do. We want to collaborate on cool pens with Karis Customs and make something unique for us. We don't want to be another retailer just carrying everyone's stock items and just a whole lineup of that.</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right.

So that's just something we wanted to throw out there and just kind of be transparent with everyone on what we're doing. So I don't know. I just thought it was worth a little bit of a short little post, just kind of a clarification thing. So we'll still be obviously making cases and paper. We're still working with other companies making collaborative pens and other products like the IdeaDoc, which is just back in stock from Dudek Modern Goods. And those kind of things are going to continue. But stock items we're going to hold off on for now, if not forever. So I hope that makes sense.</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>'''Brad Dowdy:''' Plus it's taken away from our ability to make and design and create cool new case and paper products, which is what we really, really want to focus on.
