Uses

Home office

I have a nearly-current-model MacBook Air for work (it’s a 13” M3, but predates the November line-wide bump to 16GB RAM) and mostly use that, but also have a late 2014 Mac mini that I’ve upgraded to Sequoia using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I picked up a Samsung 28” 4K monitor for cheap, but as it doesn’t have an onboard webcam like my much-missed LG UltraFine 5K, I’ve had to attach a Logitech Brio 300 webcam. Continuing the theme, I have a Logitech MX Keys for Mac keyboard (flat keyboards with low travel ftw) and a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse. These sit on an Orbitkey desk mat, which in turn sits on an Ikea Bekant desk, while I sit on a Steelcase Gesture chair.

EDC

I don’t carry a lot in my pockets - just my iPhone 16 Plus (in white) with a PopWallet+ MagSafe attached, an Apple Watch Series 9 on my wrist, and three keys clipped to my belt. Everything else goes in a backpack - right now I am rotating between a Tortuga Setout Laptop backpack and a Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21L. (I am a slut for new bags though and have my eye on some Aer gear.) ¹

In the backpack you’ll usually find my laptop, an iPad Air (5th generation), AirPods Pro 2 and/or AirPods Max (depending on the day), a Yeti Rambler 36oz in Alpine Yellow, my Bellroy tech kit, and some Oakley Holbrook sunglasses.

Tech

The stuff I use every day includes VSCode (with Roboto Mono font and Dark Modern theme), the Warp terminal app, Arc, Mail (I have gone through so many mail clients for macOS and this truly is the best of a bad bunch), Notion, 1Password, Agenda, Reminders, Alfred, Rocket, PopClip, Moom, CleanShot X, Spotify, and the Breville Precision Brewer.
