Things I use (/uses)
Here's some of the tools I use or prefer. It's in the vein of the excellent Uses This site, but this is much more broad than just the work tools that people prefer.
This is partially because people have, over time, asked me for recommendations on things, and these lists are the result.
Technology: Hardware
The computer hardware I use: laptops, desktops, and servers. Served with a side of networking gear.
Technology: Software
All the bits and bytes.
Coffee
What I drink. Coffee snobbery ahoy!
If you have no idea what half of these terms mean, suffice to say, I am picky about my coffee. Death to instant coffee.
Pets
What I give to my four legged companion(s).
Photography
- I take photos primarily with a Canon 5D Mark II paired with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens. It takes great photos at 100mm, as well as nice macro shots.
- My other "primary" lens is a 50mm f/1.8, aka the Nifty Fifty. It's great for low light, and when you want that extra bokeh.
Other
- I watch TV on a Samsung The Frame 32 inch TV
- I use an Xbox Series X to play console games. Other games are played on the desktop computer with Steam.
- I use an Apple iPhone 13 Pro in a case with a glass screen protector from Kmart.
- I wear a Garmin Fenix 6S Pro with a glass screen protector from Amazon. The glass protector has saved the screen many times, including when a dog was not a fan of receiving their skin medication cream. I had to replace the band with a knock off from Amazon. Don't judge me.
