I primarily work on a Chromebook Pixel. It's a beautiful piece of hardware. Kind of this gunmetal slab that feels more substantial in my hands than a MacBook Pro, but roughly the same form factor as a 13" MacBook Air. It's got one of those super high density displays so the image is gorgeous, and a touch screen for those times when I'm just lazily scrolling my way through an article or something.

For my day-to-day work, I've been using a Chromebook Pixel since June 2013.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
