Uses

Your tools, my tools, we all tools for our tools.

I don't actually have a lot of tools that I use. It keep things pretty basic. If Apple makes it, I use it. No power user tips and tricks here.

Work ​

  • MacBook Pro 16" M3 Max. Overkill for what I do, but I'm not going to complain. I love it.

  • LG 32" UltraFine Display Ergo 4K. I yearn for a Studio Display XDR, but I don't think I can convince the company to buy it for me.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard. Miss me with that mechanical shit. This is the best keyboard I've ever used. (I don't actually have anything against mechanical keyboards, don't @ me.)

  • Apple Magic Mouse. It's fine.

  • Logitech C270 720p WebCam. Hot camming action*.

  • Cursor. This is our AI Coding tool of choice. I like it quite a bit, not as much as Claude, sure, but it's a solid tool with a lot of great features.

  • MS Office Suite. Hot fucking garbage. Seriously, if you're not frustrated using this software you need to be removed from society. You cannot be trusted to be out in the general public.

*Sitting in meetings.

Personal ​

  • MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max. I wish I bought the M1 Pro instead for the battery life, but alas, woes is me, my computer is too powerful, and my lobster too buttery, steak to juicy.

  • LG 32" UltraFine Display Ergo 4K. I yearn for a Studio Display XDR, but I don't think I can convince the company to buy it for me.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard. Miss me with that mechanical shit. This is the best keyboard I've ever used. (I don't actually have anything against mechanical keyboards, don't @ me.)

  • Apple Magic Mouse. It's fine.

  • iPhone 17 Pro. Finally! They mad a Pro with a bold color. I get every iPhone and as is typical, the current on is the best one.

  • AirPods Pro 3. I use these every single day, multiple times a day. You know I got that shit on me.

  • iPad Air 12.9" M2 w/ Apple Pencil Pro. It's where I do my doodles!

  • Steam Deck. I've been a console and Mac guy since forever. This has been a game changer for me. Like no shit Steam is awesome, but I never really got to use it before. I don't get a lot of time to game as a dad, but with this I can play small indie games while watching a movie or show at night and actually get to game again. It rules.

  • Switch 2. Gotta have my Mario!

  • PS5. It's my FF7R machine.

  • Xbox Series X. It's my, now dead, Destiny 2 machine. The console isn't dead, but Destiny 2 presently is.

  • Claude Code. You know what it is.

  • VS Code. It still works! I just use the default theme. I don't have much in the way of extensions.

  • Desk. Basic.

  • Chair. Basic.
