| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Slash Film Daily. Today is Wednesday, November 13th, 2024. On today's episode of the show, we're going to be gathering around the virtual water cooler to talk about what we've been up to. My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at slashfilm.com, and I'm joined on today's episode by Slash Film Editor Brad Oman. |
| 0:14.8 | Hey, that's me. All right, Brad. What have you been doing recently? |
| 0:18.7 | So I recently upgraded my workstation computer setup a little bit. |
| 0:25.9 | I've been working with an old MacBook Air for years now. |
