This May is Palm Month 2021

Happy May, everyone! While May is generally a good month by itself, especially when compared to the ones immediately before it, it's also one of my favorite months of the year for another reason. Originally started in 2020, this May will continue the tradition of Tectra Palm Month!

What is it?
Basically, Palm Month is an event that takes place in May every year, in which I mainly focus on making software for Palm OS and webOS. It's becoming a tradition now, and it's definitely a fun break from the usual projects!

When does it start?
Unfortunately, Palm month likely won't start until a few days from now. My laptop's AC adapter decided to break last night, so now I have to buy a new one. It should hopefully be here soon, but until then, I won't be able to use my Windows laptop.

Anyway, I'm excited to see how this Palm Month goes! As always, keep an eye out for more updates, and with any luck, I'll be able to get to work sooner rather than later.

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 ...
