Late October Photography

Hey, y’all! Yesterday, I went with my friend Andrew to visit my grandparents and explore their property. Naturally, I took my camera along and got some photos. Take a look!









I had a lot of fun taking these photos, and I hope you enjoyed looking at them.

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...

How I Installed Ubuntu on the Dell Chromebook 3100

Chromebooks have always been an interesting product category for me. Similar to cars, I'm interested in things that compromise features to make themselves more accessible to the masses. I love economy cars, and I love economy computers.  Being the owner of a 2023 MacBook Pro, maybe I'm a little warmer to these basic computers than I would be if I had to use one. But I do own a $300 Asus Chromebook tablet PC which I do a lot of writing on. I'm actually writing this post on it. So, when a lot of Dell Chromebook 3100s came up on eBay, I splurged. What I got was 4 C-grade Chromebooks that were totally functional. I immediately got to work. Many say that you cannot use alternative OSs on Chromebooks, at least not natively. And they're kind of right. Depending on your model and chip architecture, alternative firmware may not be available. Further, many operating systems do not have all the necessary drivers available for Chromebooks. Take Windows 10 for example. It does not s...

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 ...
