Email me if you having suggestions for improvements on these items.

Hardware

• 16" MacBook Pro Max in Black
  • A beast of a machine.
• Apple Studio Display x2
  • I like these way more than I expected.
• Microsoft Ergonomic Split Surface Keyboard.
  • Alas, Microsoft stopped making this keyboard.
• NocFree & Split Keyboard
  • I got it after it was a KickStarter but while it was still on sale. I'm still deciding if I like it or not.
• Apple Magic Mouse, along with magic grips on the side
• Apple Magic Trackpad
  • Useful for gestures.
• CalDigit TS4
  • Most everything I need in a single dock.
• Acura MDX
  • My daily driver. It's definitely too big. My next vehicle will be much smaller.

Software

• Omnifocus
  • Manage TODOs, complex projects, and everything in between
• Visual Studio Code
  • My go-to code editor, though I toy with the idea of using WebStorm.
• Arc Browser
  • This browser immediately clicked with me.
• DataGrip by JetBrains
  • I work in PostgreSQL a bunch, and this app helps me query the databases.
• Warp terminal
  • Modern terminal. I work around the "AI" bits as those don't interest me.
• Fastmail
  • Good email client. Can't beat getting it bundled with an email domain like "omglol.email"!
• Mimestream
  • Gmail client but it looks like macOS Mail.app. The "unread" view is so useful.
• TextExpander
  • I'm on a decade-plus weekly streak of using snippets to save time 💪
• 1Password
  • Whole family uses it.
• Rectangle
  • Wrangle the windows.
• Hand Mirror
  • Check out the scene before any video calls start.
• Ivory, a Mastodon client
  • From the fine folks who made Tweetbot in days gone by.
• Cleanshot X
  • Easy screenshots and GIFs :chefs-kiss:
• Alfred, a Mastodon client
  • Replacement for macOS Spotlight, including clipboard history and a bunch more.
• Easy CSV Editor
  • So easy
• ClickUp
  • We've been using this at Presto to manage tasks. It's been pretty nice, though they really want us to "USE AI MORE".
