Some of my favorite things

People often ask me about what my favorite product is in various categories. This is simply a running list of those items that I will update as things change.

If you don’t know about it already, you can always check out The Wirecutter for recommendations on basically any category of thing!

There is also the “What I Use” page for the tech stuff I am using right now.
