Logitech Bluetooth Easy Switch Keyboard K811Hardware Logitech
I used to use the Apple Wireless Keyboard but I switched to the Logitech Bluetooth Easy Switch Keyboard K811 because it allows me to easily use a keyboard with my Apple TV.

Sony 55W900AHardware Sony
For playing fighting games, I use a Madcatz TE joystick and a Sony 55W900A LED TV. It has the lowest input latency of any TV of its class, which is important for fighting games.

Time MachineSoftware Apple
For backups, I use Apple's Time Machine. I have only ever had to actually use Time Machine for recovery about 3 times, but each time I was incredibly relieved that I had it.

Photoshop CCSoftware Adobe
My main software is Photoshop CC, I do way more in it than I should, and use it for crazy things it was not intended for.

Adobe Bridge CS6Software Adobe
To make contact sheets of card images, I use Adobe Bridge CS6 even though it's old. The newer Adobe Bridge CC mysteriously can't output anything anymore. (Literally, it no longer includes the "output module", WTF.)

DropboxService Dropbox
I use Dropbox a lot as well. To link pics and files to friends, to transfer large files to and from contractors, and a bit for backup as well. I should probably use it a lot more for backup. It's generally really great. It would be too bad to have to stop using it because the Dropbox company invited Condoleezza Rice onto their board, a person who participated, condoned, and facilitated 4th amendment violations with warrantless wiretaps. I mean seriously, what the fuck? Way to make an amazing product and erase all your goodwill in one move.

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.
