Palm Month Updates

I know that I haven't posted very many things on the blog since the beginning of Palm Month, but I have actually been very busy. Not only am I working on an exciting new Palm OS app, but I'm also getting ready for a massive new project. (I'll go into further detail later in this post.) Anyway, this new app will hopefully be released pretty soon. I'll keep you posted!

The Massive New Project

By now, you've probably seen my office at some point. If not, you can watch my office tour video that I made around a year ago.


Problem is, my office has some pretty serious issues. I don't have enough space for both of my monitors, things feel cramped, I don't like the color yellow as much as I thought I would, and I really need more space for my things. Put simply, I desperately need a better setup.


Thankfully, I'm finally addressing these issues. I'm getting a larger desk that can fit multiple monitors and computers. I am getting rid of things that are wasting space. I'm even considering changing the wall color from yellow to blue!


As you can see, this is a pretty massive new project! I'll be sure to share how it turns out.

The Conclusion

It's crazy to think that this is the fifteenth Weekly Update. It's crazy how time flies! Anyway, I hope that you are excited about the rest of Palm Month and what's going to come next. I have a lot of cool stuff planned!

I think that's all I have to say for now. Thanks for reading, and stay safe!

Late 2014 Mac mini in 2022 - Still Worth Buying?

About a year ago, I reviewed the 2014 Mac mini on this blog. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it was still an excellent machine for productivity tasks, but it could also handle some more intense things you threw at it. Thus, it became my daily driver up until I upgraded to a 2017 MacBook Air a few months ago. That being said, I’ve still been using it some, so I thought I’d briefly share how it’s holding up these days. Here are my thoughts on this miniature Macintosh one year later! Performance  Over the last year, I’ve been impressed by how much this Mac can handle. It’s rocking a 2.6 GHz dual-core Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB SATA SSD. What all that jargon essentially means is that it’s a moderately powerful little computer, although it certainly isn’t going to put newer Macs to shame. Regardless, I’ve been able to do lots of coding, video editing, and schoolwork on this computer, and it has generally worked pretty well. Granted, it can take a while...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...

Violoncello for Windows is finally here!

Hi, everyone! Ever since I first started working on it over a month ago, I have spent countless hours creating and perfecting Violoncello for Windows. Featuring a slick and minimal UI, lots of customization options, and support for Windows versions going all the way back to XP, I am very pleased with how the Windows version of Violoncello has turned out. As a result, I am very excited to announce that Violoncello for Windows has finally been released! Violoncello for Windows is packed with features, some of which are found in the mobile version, and others that are not. Some of these include: Open in main browser: Easily open the page you are currently viewing in Violoncello in your default browser! Custom search engine: Choose from Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, or set your own. Lots of customization: Change the background and text colors, and choose a font. Bookmarks: Easily manage and visit bookmarks. Jump to top: Quickly jump to the top of a page. (0, 0) Those are most of the...
