Answers to some great questions this week

Hi folks. It’s my forth week doing these office hours and I have to say: it’s been fun! Thanks to all of you who have signed up and showed up. They are every Thursday at 9am PST and you can register here.

If can’t make this day and time but have a question, leave it in the comments. I’ll make sure to answer it in the next recap video.
