I own a Herman Miller Aeron (size C, the biggest one), and an Embody (which comes in one size), and both are excellent. There isn’t much I can say about the Aeron; it’s an iconic office chair design and if you walk into just about any VC-funded startup you are likely to see an Aeron…

You might think with my fancy keyboard that I might be using some similarly obscure artisan mouse. Nope! I’m a huge fan of the Magic Mouse. I bought one the first day it was available for sale in Apple Stores in 2009. Most of the entire top surface of the Magic Mouse is a touch-sensitive…

“Assume Positive Intent”, I assume, is a concept that was created with positive intent (see what I did there?). It is one of those rules that, on the face of it, sounds completely reasonable and can be used to great effect. In distributed companies or communities where a lot of communication is written, it can…

I hope that this year, Apple completely revamps the springboard and app/window management on iPad. The whole “icons and windows and cursor” based UI the Mac first popularized is a really solid foundation. The fact that most computer OS interfaces today use the same paradigm shows that we finally nailed the overall GUI for desktop…

If you’ve known me for long enough you know how much I love a great keyboard, and in the last few years my keyboard game has evolved significantly. I’ve been using Plancks for awhile, but I bought a Moonlander earlier this summer on a whim. Since then, it’s become my daily driver. I have written…

You take one look at the Mac Pro and you just know it means business. It’s not the most Mac-like of the Macs out there by any means. The essence of the Mac as a piece of hardware has always been that of an all-in-one computer, and so if you are looking for a computer…

I’m posting this in the hopes that if someone else is running into this issue, this will pop up when they Google it. Shoutout to Erik at AppleCare Enterprise for taking ownership of my case until the bitter end. Shortly after I got my Mac Pro at the end of 2019, I would occasionally notice…

Before my fiancé and I bought a house in Portland, I found myself feeling particularly stir-crazy in my apartment. I was sitting at my desk in my cramped bedroom, right next to the bathroom door, and I realized I just couldn’t concentrate. I started hunting around on Craigslist and I found myself a private office…

Remember how I said I was going to post more in 2021, and how I haven’t posted anything since January? Well, that’s about to change! I’m always on the lookout for the very best equipment for my work and leisure. Having great tools that you love makes you more productive (and even if it doesn’t,…
