Setup

The hardware, software, and other things that I use most often.

Hardware

  • MacBook Pro 14" (M5)

    The best computer I've ever owned.

  • NuPhy Halo65

    The most satisfying keyboard, in both feel and sound.

  • Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse

    After a year of wrist pain, I finally switched away from the Magic Mouse, and won't be going back.

  • Apple Studio Display

    For people who want the Pro Display XDR but won't actually pay for it.

  • iPhone 17 Pro

    The first phone upgrade that didn't make me feel anything at all (from iPhone 15 Pro).

  • Apple Vision Pro

    The most underrated piece of tech I own. It's magical.

  • Daylight Computer

    My favorite device for reading and writing. But the Android ecosystem and shotty apps almost ruin it.

  • Yamazaki Tablet Stand

    Stand for Daylight Computer that makes it a bit easier to use the device for writing.

  • Blue Yeti Nano USB Microphone

    Used primarily for video walkthroughs and virtual AI training sessions.

  • Anker Laptop Power Bank

    The best power bank to fully charge a laptop while traveling and speaking.

  • Logitech Litra Beam

    A beautiful dual sided light used for recorded walkthroughs and virtual training sessions.

  • Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe

    Why buy a better webcam when you can just use your iPhone?

  • AirPods Max

    Daily headphones. Probably not the best bang for your buck, but I love the ecosystem integration.

  • AirPods Pro

    Used for virtual presentations, long walks, and chores around the house.

  • SCUF Instinct Pro

    Great feel and durability. Long-time fan of SCUF controllers.

  • Tonal

    The best investment I've ever made in my health. It helped me turn strength training into a weekly habit.

Software

  • Roam Research

    I've tried every note taking and journaling app. Roam matches my brain best.

  • Cursor

    Used to build this website, side projects, and to find connections within my years of journals.

  • Superhuman

    The best email app. One of the few products I would be very upset to use.

  • ChatGPT

    My daily driver for AI assisted work.

  • ChatGPT Atlas

    Current best AI-driven browser. The agentic browser is fragile but useful.

  • Granola

    The leading AI-assisted note taking tool for meetings.

  • Apple Music

    The only drawback is how many of my friends still use Spotify.

  • Klack

    I still want to hear the NuPhy keyboard even when I'm wearing my headphones.

  • Wispr Flow

    I've bounced back and forth between Flow and Superwhisper. Both are great.

  • CleanShot X

    The best screenshot and quick screen recording tool.

  • Clop

    Fast and seamless image optimization and conversion.
