Now

Last Updated September 13, 2024

• On parental leave from work until October and enjoying the fall weather in Urbana.
• Completed a substantial update to MapKeep and a follow-up bug-fix update. Working through some final details on adding a tip jar, just in case people want to support the app.
• Heading out this weekend to see a friend from college and family.
• After being tempted by the Apple Watch Series 10’s new curves, shininess, and slimness, I decided to hold off buying anything after the baffling Apple event.
• Tinkering with my Odin 2 mini. Damn this thing is nice. (I was not expecting there to be so much setup! I got used to Delta and Linux-based Anbernics that are way more plug and play. Thanks Russ!)
• Listening to Don’t Forget Me by Maggie Rogers, Forever by Charly Bliss, and American Football.
• Rewatching 30 Rock.
• Stalled watching Sunny on Apple TV. Up Next: Slow Horses season 4.
• Playing The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD on Steam Deck. Grateful for the contrasty graphic pack which makes it feel more like the original.
• Waiting for the Boox Go 6 to arrive.
• The Tulip appeared! I’ll start playing with this soon.
• Preordered the Retroid Pocket 5. Russ said the 4 is great and the 5 has OLED and improved ergonomics.
• I might be buying too many gaming things and not playing enough games. (It’s a disease.)
• Speaking of: got the amazing 8bitDo in blue.
