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!<\/p>\n
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, at least it makes you happy), and I think that the best craftspeople have a strong affinity for the tools they use. I’d like to share with you my current setup as an exercise in sharing some of my own values.<\/p>\n
My goal here isn’t to be exhaustive and list every tool I use; most are super popular and not that exciting to recommend (Chrome, for instance, doesn’t need a post here, nor does iMessages).<\/p>\n
I’m not making recommendations; I’m just sharing my setup. I like to think I have great taste, but keep in mind that I’m a nerdy dude who likes to throw money at problems. I aim to share the decision process I’ve taken to choosing these tools. Maybe you’ll see some things in here that might make your life easier.<\/p>\n
I’m also not making glowing product reviews here. I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. But at the end of the day, these products remain the ones I stick with, day in and day out. Things aren’t perfect, but they are solid. Reading through my criticisms, you’ll gain a better understanding of my values of what makes a great product, and ideally it’ll help you decide what you care about in a product too.<\/p>\n
Oh, also: I’m not providing affiliate links or anything here. That’s not what this is about. This is very much an exploration of the different choices I’ve made over the years to build up a rock solid toolbox. I don’t want you to necessarily buy anything I post about here, and I stand to gain nothing from you buying these things. These are just the items I like to surround myself with every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
