Herman Miller Aeron chairHardware Herman Miller

loved

I commented in the original post that a good chair was well worth the spend and I'm still sitting on the same Herman Miller Aeron as I type this. I've replaced some foam and that's it; this chair is probably the single best investment I've made in my workspace and if I write another post a decade from now, I expect I'll still be sitting on it.

loved

I hadn't originally planned to go down this path, but it's made a massive different to the cleanliness of my desk. Seriously, I can't overstate how nice it feels to have more clean, free space around me.

Verifi P5100 fingerprint readerHardware Verifi

loved

It's nicely built with a solid aluminium body and sits discretely off to my right, away from the main desk. It's a tad slow to read (the built-in ones on my Lenovo laptops are faster), but not as slow as the Brio was and more reliable too. I'm using this all the time not just to unlock my PC but to auth to 1Password as well. Highly recommended!

Sony a6400 with 16mm Sigma f/1.4 lensHardware Sony / Sigma

recommended

After much procrastination, I ultimately settled on a Sony a6400 with a 16mm Sigma f/1.4 lens . This was consistently the mix that rose to the top as I browsed around the web, asked on social and spoke to camera stores.

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.
