This page is intended to serve as a running log of things I use, both professionally and in life.

Updated 14 May 2025.

Hardware

For work and personal, I use the same Macbook Pro 14" M4 Pro that I recently acquired. At home, I use it as is. At work, I plug it into a couple of LG displays I picked up from BHPhoto alongside an Apple Magic Keyboard and a Logitech MX Master 3S (it really is the best).

I have a 13" iPad Air that I primarily use for speaker notes (with PDF Expert). I use an iPhone 15 Pro Max everywhere I go, skipping the current generation device for the first time in years. I recently returned to the Apple Watch Ultra II after a couple years of going analog. The main reason for the switch is health related.
