Toys in the attic
Since this seems to be turning into a meme… Here are the tools I use to get me through the day:
- Apple MacBook Pro - What can I say? Without it I’d be lost amidst the stormy seas of the Interwebs. Not to mention I can get online anywhere and I’m working. Or playing.
- Nikon D80 - This is the digital camera that convinced me that digital could be as good and as satisfying as traditional dark room work. A big huge thank you to Tom and the rest of the team at MWW who put this puppy in my hands and helped me out when things went wonky. The “Picture This” outreach was a blogger program done right. Now about the D300….
- Adobe Photoshop / Bridge CS3 - Like Josh, I’ve made the jump to working purely in RAW format. Bridge and Photoshop make the workflow issues easy. I’m still trying to figure out how Aperture works into all of this - frankly I like it’s controls better than Lightroom. But we’ll see how it all goes.
- WordPress - The only blogging platform that matters.
- Apple iPhone - AKA the God Phone.
- Vonage - Still the easiest to set up and operate. I still don’t understand why Verizon charges my wife so much to call her friend in France. Maybe they haven’t heard…
- M-Audio MicroTrack Portable Recorder -A neat little handheld audio recorder for podcasts or just grabbing ambient sound. I don’t use it as often as I should.
- FlipCam - I have to admit, it really belongs to the Boy Genius but I love this little guy.
- Sangean Super 909 / Radio Shack DS 398 - As modified by the good folks at Radio Labs. There’s still a lot to listen to on the ShortWave bands and this radio will pull it all in. Add the SONY AN-LP1 portable antenna (only available in Japan) and you are good for listening to the World.
- Technics SL-1200 MK2 Turntable - AKA The Wheels of Steel. ’nuff said.
- Timbuk2 Blogger Bag - Yes. I know what I said long ago. But this bag just rocks. It fits pretty much everything I need to get my working on and with room to spare. And it fits under the seat on airplanes.
OK. Enough gadget lust for today. What’s in your bag?
