Uses
The hardware and software I use for my digital life.
Hardware
I strive for a very clean and minimal setup. Since 2019, I've had my work laptop hanging under my standing desk acting as a shelf for my personal machine and nothing but a lamp and coaster joining my keyboard and mouse on my desk. Unfortunately, my Framework Desktop has joined the desk until I figure out how to mount it elsewhere.
Home
- Framework Desktop with Linux as my daily computer.
- M1 Mac Mini as my previous daily computer.
- Studio Display for a display.
- Fully Jarvis standing desk for holding things.
- Herman Miller Aeron for sitting.
- Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for input.
Travel
- M2 MacBook Air for a computer.
- iPad Air for a bonus display.
Everywhere
- iPhone 15 Pro Max for pictures and texting mostly.
- Apple Watch Series 10 for fitness and "hands-free" notifications.
- Bose QC Ultra or AirPods 4 for audio, depending on the need.

Most of my time is either spent in the browser or terminal. If it can't run in either of those, then I'm probably not interested.
