"MagSafe PopSocket"

Better than I expected

I heard someone talking about these on a podcast. I've never liked the way PopSockets work with the sticky back. I use Qi charging every night with my phone, so I have to be able to have the back of my phone clear. This PopSocket uses the MagSafe magnets and it's amazing how well it holds on to the back of the phone. It only comes off when I want it to. I also did not realize that you could buy grips with an amazing variety of designs on them.

So, I'm pretty happy with this. It makes it easier to hold on to the phone. It's easy to remove, and it stays attached all day. The only downside is that it makes the phone thicker, and if your pocket is already tight it might make it harder to get it out of your pocket.

Walt Disney World Vacation June 2022

Animal Kingdom Lodge - Lobby - Jambo House

We spent our 28th Anniversary at Walt Disney World. June isn't the best time to visit Florida due to the extreme heat, but it was actually hotter in North Carolina during our trip. We got a standard view room at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and we lucked out with an actual Savannah view. We could see all kinds of animals through out the day. It was amazingly cool.

I won't go into great detail about everything we did during our trip. It was food, fun, and way too much sun.

Hollywood Studios - Muppets 3D

We did get to ride the new coaster in Epcot. Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind was over the top. The story was fun, the music was great, and the coaster was way faster and more intense than I expected. I'll ride it again when I can, but I was motion sick after for at least half an hour.

A New Retro Computer

I just pre-ordered the Mega 65. It's a farily expensive modern FPGA based 8-bit computer. It can emulate multiple retro computers as well as the C64. Yeah its a little too expensive I think, but I really wanted to support the creation of this.

Some great streams discussing various aspects of the computer and programming on it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing progress on the Commander 16 as well. This is another modern retro computer that is taking a different aproach.
