A lot of the things I use, I've settled on through a lot of iteration, and trial and error. Being a magpie and a hoarder is, perhaps, the worst combination of things to be, if what you like is having money.

Here is some of the stuff that I use in a regular basis. If you're looking for something from this genre of things, you could probably do worse than these things.

Computers

  • MacBook Pro M1 Max still going strong!
  • LG 4K monitor x2, one in portrait
  • BastardKB Charybdis Nano
  • SplitKB Aurora Sweep (MX and Choc)
  • Apple Magic Trackpad
  • iPad Pro M1 not dead yet!
  • Intel i5 NUC as a media server

Software

    • RF 35mm f1.8

    • EF 70-200mm f2.8 (adapted)

Stationery

  • CW&T Pen Type C
  • rOtring 800 0.7mm
  • Tactile Turn Bolt Action (it's a pen even though it sounds like a gun)
  • Midori Traveler

Keys

Keys are annoying. I spent a lot of time and effort trying to find some stuff that would make my keys annoy me less, and I've used this configuration for a while now so I think that means I succeeded.

And keys, obviously. I keep my car keys on the quick-release bit because once my dad said it's bad to hang too much from your key whilst it's in your ignition. That's some real Tandy-family generational info, just for you. Also means I don't carry my car keys if I'm not driving somewhere

Misc

  • AER Travel Pack 3 X-Pac. I could keep an entire blog about bags, but I won't
  • AER City Sling 2 for when I can't be bothered to carry a big bag
  • Shure SE846
  • Apple Airpods Pro 2
  • Audeze LCD-3. I could probably also keep an entire blog about headphones but I think Charlotte would divorce me
  • Steam Deck
