Various August 2021 Updates

Hey, everyone! I’ll admit, August has been a very strange month for me. There’s been a lot going on since summer break ended, and I’ve unfortunately not had as much time as I would like to write blog posts. Nonetheless, I’ve still been hard at work on my projects, and I have a lot of exciting updates and news to share! So, here’s what’s been going on lately:
  • Around the beginning of the month, I started working on completely revamping one of my older apps that was in need of an overhaul. While I’m not ready yet to reveal more details surrounding this mysterious new project, I will say that I am getting closer to having it ready for release, and that will be in the form of an update. Stay tuned for more updates on this project, as they should be coming soon if all goes to plan.
  • A couple of weeks ago, I was able to get an amazing deal on a new iPhone 12! While this is awesome in and of itself, it also means that I can finally test my apps on more modern Apple hardware. It’s definitely a massive upgrade over the iPhone 8 that I was using until now for testing my apps!
  • In the last week or so, aside from working on the massive project I mentioned earlier, I have also released a few tiny Violoncello for Android updates that should make the app feel more polished and refined. I have some major plans for Violoncello in the near future, so there’s a lot to be excited about!
As you can probably see, I have been been hard at work on quite a few different projects this month. I have a lot planned, and I’m going to be hopefully be releasing several updates in the near future. So, keep an eye out for those, and thanks for reading!

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 ...
