Very Glad In Tiny Glade

Happy to say I bought Tiny Glade and began having fun. It’s a steal at $15 on Steam; I’m ready to buy future DLC that might get released. The cozy diorama builder already absorbed a couple hours of my time, which flew by. The fun spilled onto my wife too.

From MacBook To A Laptop Not By Apple

My MacBook Air M1 is truly an excellent laptop. But lately I’ve been thinking about switching to a non-Apple machine. In fact, I have a post in draft about moving back to a Chromebook, but now I’m thinking I’ll rejoin the Windows PC world. If my Mac works well, then why fuss with a flip-flop to something else?
