Hello, everyone! Today is August 2nd. This is important because tomorrow, I go back to school. This means that I will have a lot less time to work on new projects. However, I do have some good news. I prepared for this! How did I prepare for the decreased amount of free time that school will undoubtedly bring? Well, I spent almost 20 hours over the last 4 days working on a new Android app! I can't reveal a ton about this new app yet. However, I can tell you that I have gotten a lot of the difficult stuff done. There's still plenty of work to do, but I have made some serious progress. Anyway, with some luck, I'll hopefully be able to release this new app mid to late August. Until then, you can stay tuned for more updates! |

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!

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...
