The hardware and software tools that I use for most of my daily living, doing, and going.

</aside>

Everyday carry (EDC)

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Fisher Space Pen, bullet-style.
Chums Bandit bi-fold wallet.
Apple AirPods Pro (third generation).
Oakley Meta HSTN AI glasses, with prescription Transitions bifocal lenses and 3D printed push-on camera covers in various shapes to block the camera as a courtesy when necessary. With Chums ripcord retainers. I use the Conversation Focus feature extensively to understand others’ voices in noisy environments as my hearing continues to deteriorate from age.
Warby Parker Ellington frames with prescription bifocal lenses. The best lenses insurance money can buy, which means not as good as the Luxxotica-Essilor lenses in the Oakley Metas, which are dead-on perfect. I do like that Warby Parker donates a pair to others in need for each pair purchased.
Walt Disney World annual Incredi-Pass with Water Parks & Sports and Disney PhotoPass (it may as well be EDC, I’m in the resort often enough and it’s in my Apple Wallet).
I drive a 2025 Kia Soul S in Surf Blue, named “Stitch” or the “Stitchmobile” and themed/decorated as such (The dealer suggested Papa Smurf, but hello! I’m next to Disney!) It’s also a geocaching.com travel bug.

Apple iPad Pro (13-inch M5) with Magic Keyboard and Pencil Pro.
Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft for digital notetaking.
Exceed A5 notebook. Unfortunately no longer available (or Walmart simply rebranded them as “Pen and Ink”).
On rare occasions: Lenovo Chromebook Duet 2-in-1 (At some point I should upgrade; it’s slower than a retiree snowbird on I-4) with USI digital pen.

For work, provided by my employer: HP Zbook Firefly G8 Mobile Workstation (Intel i7 13th gen, Nvidia T500 GPU, 32 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, Windows 11 Enterprise).
*For everything else: *****Apple MacBook Pro (M5, 24 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, MacOS, Windows 11 Professional ARM and Ubuntu Linux ARM64 via Parallels Desktop).
ViewSonic VX3418-2KPC 34-inch 21:9 ultrawide display (3440 × 1440 @ 140 Hz, apparently they’re producing a 180 Hz version now).
