Computers
When used right, computers are a wonderful tool.
Hardware
- MacBook Pro 14”: Probably my favorite computer thus far. After some years, it’s still quick, reliable, and does everything I need it to do.
- iPad Pro M4: Usually my laptop doesn’t leave the apartment, so this is my mobile computer. It’s also a fantastic creative tool with Procreate (and Procreate Dreams).
- Raspberry Pi 5: The experimental computer.
- Random Dell Monitor: I should probably care more about what monitor I’m using, but this old professional Dell monitor works well enough and I’d rather not replace (and throw away) something that works well enough.
- Magic Trackpad: Probably the best way to use the Mac.
- Keychron K3: I’d love to get into building mechanical keyboards, but honestly, I’m just too lazy so this is my current keyboard.
- Logitech MX-3S: It’s a fine mouse as long as you don’t have to scroll.
Software
There’s tonnes of software on my computer, I find myself spending most of my time in only a few applications:
- Sketch: I love Sketch a lot. I rarely do interface design these days, but with years of muscle memory, I can do most things way faster in Sketch than in any other software. Logos, illustrations, page layout, simple image editing, testing fonts, and so many other things. Sketch is a beautiful toolbox I use on almost any project.
- Glyphs: A wonderful font & vector editor. Admittedly, as a developer at Glyphs, I’m not entirely unbiased here, but it really is a wonderful piece of software.
- iTerm2: Despite their recent effort to add a bunch completely useless features, this is still the best terminal app on the Mac. Even if there was a better one, I can hardly see myself switching, given how much time I’d need to replicate my configuration.
- NeoVim: The best text editor. No notes.
- Musiquette: My own (still unreleased) mp3 player.
- Photoshop: Despite many attempts to move on, thus far, I haven’t been able to do so. I fear, I’m too used to it and its many quirks now.
- Nova: A very fancy and pretty web-development environment.
