Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2Hardware

loved

My keyboard is a Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2. It has a good touch and is pretty small. It doesn't get in the way.

Numatic HenryOther

loved

My vacuum cleaner is a Numatic Henry (Green). It is the vacuum cleaner I always yearned for. I was dreaming of it when I graduated from university, and bought it with my first salary.

BOSE Wave RadioHardware

liked

My radio is a BOSE Wave Radio. It is the first model, so it might have fewer functions than current models. However, it is a good design. No problem.

CodaSoftware Panic

liked

I developed an application for Facebook recently. I used Coda for that. As a result, I think Coda shortened the development period.

My mobile phone is a Nokia NM705i. It was released by DoCoMo in Japan about 2 years ago. It is simple and small. I like it.

SONY OLED XEL-1Hardware

mixed

My television is a SONY OLED XEL-1. It is already out of production, so it's rare. It's difficult to read text on it because of the very small screen size. However it consumes very little power. I'm very satisfied with it.

PathfinderSoftware

mixed

I use Pathfinder instead of Finder. The icon is not my favorite. But the tabs and dual pane function are convenient for me.

DSC-HX5VHardware

mixed

It is a DSC-HX5V (black). It has a stereo microphone and GPS, and can take so-so movies and photos. I am moderately satisfied.

Apple Magic MouseHardware

disliked

My mouse was an Apple Magic Mouse. Basically, it is OK for web browsing, but too difficult to use with Illustrator or Pro Tools. So, I gave it to our staff.

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 small bar beside a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The bar shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Full and green is recent. It drains, and turns amber and then grey, as the post gets older.

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 bar is empty after about:

A striped bar means the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no bar.
