Here’s some stuff that I find helpful to some degree.

Desk

Big boy desk, good chair, good speakers, stupid-Hertz displays.

• 80” Walnut Uplift Desk

Mac Setup

Macintosh for work.

• 14” M1 Macbook Pro

Custom PC

PC for fun. In 2015 I built my own custom gaming PC. I’m currently on Gen2 of the build having replaced quite a few parts along the way. I budget ~$500/yr upgrading random parts. View my PCPartPicker List.

• NZXT H1 Mini-ITX

• EVGA GeForce RTX 2080

• Logitech G305
  Inexpensive but faithful wireless gaming mouse.

Ergonomics

Gotta take care of your moneymakers.

• ErgodoxEZ
  Huge splurge, but a really great and quirky ortholinear split ergo mechanical keyboard.

• KBDFans Mountain Ergo
  Another huge splurge.

• Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard
  This keyboard is a bit squishy, but I promised myself if Microsoft ever released a wired ergo keyboard I’d buy it. For $67 it’s pretty great.

• Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse
  I trialed a $15 Anker vertical mouse first, but Logitech one is amazing and feels luxurious.

Podcasting

When it comes to podcasting setups, I lean towards minimal, affordable setups that sound good.

• Røde NT-USB
  Was my travel mic, now it’s my main

• Røde PS-1 Swivel Mount Boom Arm
  Best way to reduce echo is get that mic up in your face.

• Heil PR-40
  Hanging on to this in case I ever go analog again.

Laptop, Tablet, Phones, Etc.

• iPad Mini (6th Gen)
  Been lusting after a device like this. Mixed reviews tho.

• iPhone Xʀ
  I lost my other phone on a bike ride. This was the cheapest replacement.

Apps

• FeedBin
  I 💙 RSS and Feedbin has the user experience and features I crave.

• VS Code
  It’s a code editor. Has plugins and themes. It’s nice.

• Squoosh
  Online image compression tool, great for cutting WebPs.

• Streamlabs OBS
  Incredible software if you’re going to start a Twitch stream.

Productivity

• Analog
  Hands down the best productivity system I have ever used. Read more here
