The Talk Show With John Gruber sponsors and ad reads

I'm going to tell you about a new sponsor. Well, they've sponsored a couple episodes ago, but they're still newish. Even Realities. Their primary product, they make AI smart glasses. The Even G2. They are productivity smart glasses designed to keep real time support right in your view. These look like premium eyewear, regular eyeglasses. This is what you look like when other people see you. When I started wearing them, they sent me a test pair with my prescription that I could wear and test. My wife and son didn't even recognize that I was wearing new glasses at first. That's how normal these glasses look. They do not have cameras. They just have screens in the lenses that show a very bright monochrome green screen in front of the reality that you just see through the regular lenses, and they have microphones in the arms of the glasses. There are all sorts of features built in.

Hands free throughout the day. For listeners of the talk show, you can use promo code TALK SHOW at evenrealities.com to get 10% off the R1 Ring and/or the Even Clip when you add them to your Even G2 glasses order. Go to evenrealities.com and remember that promo code, TALK SHOW, to save 10% off the R1 Ring or the Even Clip when you add them to your order. Thanks to Even Realities for sponsoring the show.

Let me take one last break here and thank our good friends at Squarespace. Squarespace keeps sponsoring the show. You might wonder why Squarespace sponsors seemingly every episode of the talk show. The answer is listeners keep signing up for Squarespace, because Squarespace is a great service. It's an all-in-one website platform. If you haven't done it, maybe you should consider the fact that you actually do need to build a new website or replace an old website, and the way you should do it is through Squarespace. It is an all-in-one platform for creating a website. You can do everything from registering domain names to picking a template for how your website should look, to customizing the template to make it look exactly the way you want. They've got BlueprintAI, the name of their layout tool that uses AI, directing AI commands to design or redesign the website or create a new template that looks just the way you want. If you don't want to use the AI, you can do it the old-fashioned way — drag and drop WYSIWYG right in the browser. When you log in as the admin and owner of a Squarespace site, you design, change, configure, and add components, features, and pages to your website right in the browser.

When you log in as the admin, the owner of a Squarespace site, you design and change and configure and add components and features and pages to your website in the browser. Everything you see as the admin looks exactly like visitors will see when they come visit your website because it's all WYSIWYG right in a browser. The only difference is that you, the logged in admin, have the ability to move stuff and change stuff, and the visitors just see it as a non-editable website. What you see is exactly what your visitors get. They've got all sorts of other built-in stuff, everything you can imagine. They take payments with all the payment options you want: Apple Pay, pay in installment features from various services, and credit cards. If you sell time or resources, if you are a consultant or a trainer.

It's all WYSIWYG. What you see is exactly what your visitors get. They've got all sorts of other built-in stuff, everything you can imagine. They take payments with all the payment options you want: Apple Pay, installment features from various services, credit cards. If you sell time or resources, if you are a consultant or a trainer, you can do all of that through your Squarespace website, send invoices to your clients, and have your clients pay the invoices on your website through Squarespace. None of that has to come from a third party. It's all built into the platform. If you sell stuff like t-shirts or stickers, you could do all of that through Squarespace. You could build an entire store, all of it right there built into the same platform. If you have any kind of idea for a website, this is where you should go to build it. It is the easiest way to do it. They've got great analytics and a great CMS for creating updates to your website. Go to squarespace.com/talkshow to find out more. When you use that code talk show, you get 10% off your first purchase, which can be for an entire year at once.

We had Coax. Coaxtheapp.com, which is a super delightful, very fun front end app for your Plex server, which I can't stop raving about. Even realities where you can get smart glasses and a smart ring that goes with the glasses at evenrealities.com, promo code talk show. And Squarespace at squarespace.com/talkshow. And, apparently, they make websites or help you make websites.
