Hey, it's my intro music. Hello, everybody, Craig Peterson here. Welcome, welcome. Hopefully, you've been able to join me before. We talk a lot about technology and of course a lot about privacy and security. Technology today is all about privacy and security. Isn't it?

Now, many of you may have noticed if you're on my mailing list, that we changed the format of the newsletter starting this last week. Right?
