Things I Actually Use and Love

These are things I genuinely use and love — whether it’s for work, entertainment, or just making life better. Some of them are productivity-focused, some are just for fun, and some are things I use because they make me feel like I have my life together.

💻 Work & Tech

  • MacBook Pro (M1, First-Gen)

    Still an absolute beast. Handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat.

  • Custom PC (Fractal Meshify Compact)

    Built for gaming, video encoding, and the occasional productivity sprint. More RGB than necessary, but hey, it looks cool.

  • LG OLED Gaming Monitor

    Once you go OLED, there’s no going back. Crisp, deep blacks, and incredible colors—perfect for both gaming and creative work.

  • Synology NAS DS923+ (w/ DX517 Extension)

    My personal cloud. I store everything here — backups, media, and stuff I refuse to delete even though I probably should. If I get tipsy at an office party and start describing my Next Cloud, just run away. Sorry!

🎮 Entertainment & Media

  • LG C2 OLED TV

    Movies, gaming, or just zoning out—this is my favorite display. Paired with my Sonos setup, it's an experience.

  • Sonos Arc + Sonos ERA 300 + Sub

    A surround sound setup that just works. Movies feel cinematic, and music fills the space in a way I didn’t expect. Atmos is a delight that few too pursue...

  • NVIDIA Shield Pro

    As a design lover, I care deeply about... deep colors. So to make sure I get maximum support across Dolby Vision profiles 5 + 8, I use a Shield Pro — how else am I gonna consume all these UHD Remuxes?

⌨️ Accessories & Gear

  • Logitech Keyboard & Mouse

    Simply the best. Comfortable, reliable, and something I use every single day.

  • Yeti Water Bottles

    I love cold crisp water in cold crisp stainless steel. Plus, they keep drinks cold forever.

  • Hubble Daily Contacts

    The most comfortable contacts I’ve ever used. Having clear vision without dryness or discomfort is an underrated luxury.

📊 Software & Dev Tools

  • Airtable

    A relational database that doesn’t feel like a relational database. The scripting extension makes it an absolute powerhouse.

  • Python for Vapoursynth (Video Encoding)

    One of my more niche obsessions, but Vapoursynth is incredible for video encoding and processing. If you know, you know.
