Uses

Where I spend the day — one main machine, the peripherals I’ve stuck with for years, and the furniture holding it all up.

Work

• MacBook Pro (M1 Max, 64 GB) — the workhorse; M1 Max is still a beast
• Apple Studio Display (1st gen) — a great screen; eyeing the new Studio Display XDR
• NuPhy Halo75 — fine for now; an HHKB Studio is tempting
• Logitech G502 Lightspeed + PowerPlay — the mouse I never have to charge
• iPad Pro 12.9″ (5th gen) — reading, notes, second screen

The desk & chair

• Secretlab Magnus Pro XL — motorized standing desk; honestly, I’m in it for the magnets
• Herman Miller Aeron — with an aftermarket Atlas headrest

A terminal-first setup I keep filing down — a few of these I maintain myself.

• Ghostty — its AppleScript support finally got me off iTerm2
• zsh — oh-my-zsh bloated it into molasses, so I ran fish for years; now back on a lean, hand-rolled, fish-like config, with a toolkit I source into every script (the argument parser and parallelism primitives got their own write-ups)
• starship — prompt; I run my own fork
• mvx — my own mv/cp replacement
• git-smartlog — Sapling-style smartlog for plain Git: your whole commit stack at a glance

Whatever fits the mood — consoles and a headset for play, cameras mostly pointed at a kid who won’t hold still.

Gaming

• Sony PS5 — the couch console
• Nintendo Switch 2 — handheld for everywhere
• Meta Quest 3 — VR, when a flat screen won’t do
• Beelink GTi14 Ultra (Core Ultra 9 185H) + EX Dock — the gaming PC; the EX dock is waiting on a GPU, once prices come back to earth

Cameras

• Fujifilm X-T2 — my first mirrorless; now kept mainly for the 18–135mm and 56mm f/1.2
• Sony a7R V — bought for the autofocus the X-T2 lacked; paired with a 24–70mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.2
• DJI Pocket 3 — pocket gimbal; great for catching the action

Prosumer gear that mostly runs itself.

• StarTech 24U Rack Cabinet — the rack itself
• Ubiquiti UniFi — the whole network
• Synology RS2423 + RX1223rp — rackmount NAS for anything that has to persist

Where things get made — safety and dust collection first.

Woodworking

• Cutting — SawStop PCS, Festool Kapex, Festool TS 55
• Milling — DeWalt DW735X, SuperMax 19-38
• Joinery — Festool Domino DF 500
• Shaping — Festool ETS 125, Festool OF 1400
• CNC — Onefinity Woodworker X-50
• Dust — Harvey Gyro Air G-700, Festool CT 26

3D printing

• Bambu Lab A1 + AMS — open-frame workhorse
• Bambu Lab P2S + AMS — the enclosed one; multicolor through the AMS is the whole reason I switched

Space-saving gear that turns a corner into a full gym.

• Concept2 RowErg — the cardio; full-body and easy on the joints
• REP Nighthawk — adjustable bench: flat, incline, decline, and folds flat
• PowerBlock Sport EXP — adjustable dumbbells; a rack’s worth in one pair
