Things I Use

Try to convince you that these things are worth using. I hope to show that it doesn’t really matter what you use.

Electronics

Macbook Air (2020): Best laptop ever created. Platonic ideal of a portable computer.

Dell U2723QE: I moved out and got a desk, which means I no longer work from the couch/bed but use this 27" monitor as an external display. It’s good – thin bezels (very slight backlight bleed), an internal power brick, and large array of ports.

A pink 2016 iPhone SE. iPhone mini 13. Bought second-hand, like all my Apple devices (except my Mac).

Soundcore Motion+: Really, really good bluetooth speaker for the price.

Furniture

Table/desk: IKEA MELLTORP, chosen because of it’s metal legs (that make it really solid) and dirt cheap price relative to quality.

Work chair: IKEA LÅNGFJÄLL, short back and no arms. Because I’m not an office worker or gaymer and I have the right to a chair that looks nice.

Misc: Other IKEA products include this bookshelf, a lamp, and shoe rack.

Wearables

Shoes: One pair of Nike Cortez (dark blue), Nike Court Zooms (white), and Vans Old Skools. A pair of Adidas Adizero Adios 8’s and Kalenji trainers for training and rough use respectively.

Watch: Kalenji Geonaute W500 M. It is 6 years old (and now discontinued) and has two broken strap handles. Still runs.
