Weekly Update - 10/22/20

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to the new blog and the Weekly Update. More accurately, it’s the “Every-Few-Months Update”, but I hope to release it a bit more frequently than I have in recent months from here on out. So, without further ado, let’s dive into what’s new!

Violoncello Updates

I have been working on Violoncello for a little over a week now, and I have made some pretty significant progress. Though I have been a bit busy over the last couple of days with school and the new blog, I have been able to work on it some every day. I’ll continue to keep all of you updated, so you can expect to see more news on Violoncello soon!

The New Website

The other big project I have at the moment is creating the new Tectra site! I just got started last night, but I already have an idea of what I want this new site to look like. Just like Violoncello, I’ll keep you updated on how things are going!

Wrapping Things Up

I must say, both of these projects are pretty major, so I can’t exactly say when they’ll be ready. However, I have been working very hard on preparing for the new site and writing Violoncello. As a result, I’m hopeful that you’ll be able to check both of them out pretty soon!

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

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 ...
