Early Present

Hello! How’s it going? It’s Friday so I am sure it’s going well! Today I worked from home because I had a couple of things I needed to take care of at the house. It was nice to be able to stay at home because the weather has turned pretty chilly! I think this morning it was in the mid-30s. But I was nice and warm in the house. :)

One of my Christmas gifts I received early is something that I’ve wanted for a long time now – a Fujifilm Instax Printer! It’s so fun and cool! I’ve always wished I had an Instax camera, but when the Instax printer was announced a couple of years ago, I knew I had to have one. And finally, it happened!

What I love about it is that it fits in nicely to a simpler lifestyle. This little printer doesn’t require any cables or ink. It runs on two batteries and you just pop in a pack of film, then you print wirelessly from a smartphone or from a Fujifilm camera. The prints that it creates are really cool and distinct. I prefer it to the ZINK printer I have, and I’ll write more about that later. But for now, I am just going to enjoy the Instax! I love it! ❤

For a few months I’ve been looking for my wife’s long-lost iPod Touch. It’s funny, but she forgot she even had one! Which is in itself sad since it was a birthday gift from me! Anyways, the reason I wanted to find it was because I wanted to test the image quality of an Instagram upload from an iOS device as compared to my Android phone.

Well, the other night the iPod finally was found! So I quickly got to resetting it and installing some apps. After finding a way to install an old version of Instagram on the iPod touch, I did my test. Unfortunately the outdated version of Instagram only uploads the image as 640 x 640 pixels in size instead of the current 1080 x 1080. So I guess my test for image quality will not be conclusive…

Oh well, at least I have a new (to me) music player!

The other night Bay and I attended Engadget Live in downtown Austin. After that, we decided to walk across town to get some ramen. It was a Friday night so there were a lot of lights and activity on Sixth street. But it wasn’t really as crazy as it usually is. Still, it was fun walking downtown with my son!

Tonight we ate dinner at Noble Sandwich Co. (formerly Noble Pig) and it was delicious! I had the Short Rib Burger, Mariko got the Creole Catfish sandwich, Bay had the Thai Chicken sandwich and truffle fries, and Koa had the Roast Beef sandwich. It was all yummy! We really enjoyed the pickled veggie garnish as well. Highly recommended to visit either of the two locations! (We ate at the 620 location)
