A Quick Update

Hey, everyone. I last posted around a month ago, so I wanted to share a few updates as to what has been going on since then. So, here are the happenings (in no particular order):

The Tech Vault
I quietly added this page to my website a few weeks ago. Basically, I share my cool old tech and what I use it for here. Check it out!


PreBook 1.7.0
I hadn't updated PreBook in forever, and the auto-updater was no longer working. Thankfully, this has been fixed! There's something highly amusing about using Facebook Messenger on a Palm Pre. ;)


Life Updates
Lastly, I've been very busy with school until recently. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was in a theater production that consumed a lot of my time. Thankfully, it went well and I now have much more free time. With my senior year of high school wrapping up, I look forward to seeing what this next chapter brings.

I also recently acquired a Sony DSC-H90 digicam.

This thing is a nugget..... But a cool nugget!

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 ...
