Updated October 2026.

Everyone enjoys spending money on something, even if the something makes no sense to anyone else. Mine is finding deals on tech. Half hobby, half side project.

What's on the desk

  • Laptop: Surface Pro 8, 16GB, bought 2022. Still the daily driver. 16GB was never close to enough.
  • Monitor: coin flip between the laptop screen and whatever monitor is nearby.
  • Keyboard: Glove80. If you've heard me complain about my wrists and whether I can keep doing this, this is why. The Keychron with silent switches was my endgame; my wrists disagreed.
  • Mouse: Logi MX Master 3S, on sale only. I still can't believe they charge $160 for a mouse.
  • Headphones: Shokz. Not an audiophile. Hours in over-ears every day stopped feeling good, so open-ear it is.
  • Chair / desk: I spent too long auditioning chairs (Autonomous, Branch, Steelcase Leap, Embody). Current theory: ergonomics is mostly posture. Or I just can't sit properly in any chair.

What I carry with me

  • Phone: iPhone 15 Pro.
  • Bag: Timbuk2.

Terminal and editor

  • OS: Windows with WSL2, after years of macOS. Prediction for 2040: macOS. Snip snap.
  • Shell: fish, with starship for the prompt. I wrote why (post still a draft, link 404s until published), so I'll spare you the sermon.
  • Editor: VS Code. Experimenting with Zed and Devin.
  • Database client: DataGrip, mostly for the scratch files (post still draft).
