Walt Disney World Vacation February 2022

For my 51st Birthday this year we stayed at Port Orleans Riverside again. We had a great time with our friends, who will hopefully go with us again sometime.

I'll share just a few highlights from this trip.

Our dinner at Tokyo Dining was wonderful.

It was fun to watch our friends first time in Galaxy's Edge.

Magik Kingdom was full of magic and wonder, like always.

Animal Kingdom wasn't too busy.

We had dinner at Boma - Yumm!

We got back home with blisters, a flat tire, and needing to catch up on sleep.

Mac Studio Upgrade

I finally upgraded my iMac Pro to the new Mac Studio.

What I Got

• Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine
• 64GB unified memory
• 1TB SSD storage

I probably should have went ahead and got more internal storage. I was worried about spending too much, but that would have been a good upgrade.

I need to think about updating our network storage anyway.

Initial Impressions

I've only started using it, but so far its crazy fast and very very quiet. My older iMax Pro's fan could get loud at times. The few thigns I have tried with this new machine have all been silent.

I also ordred the new Apple Studio Display. Until it arrives I'm using an LG 4K display, which is pretty good, but not nearly as good as the 5K display on my older iMac. I'm a big fan of Apples displays. I still use the older Apple Thunderbolt Display.
