some things i use
i used to travel a lot for work so i got accustomed to having a very minimalist and portable set of tools that fit in a small bag. my office/studio is basically wherever i happen to be. this page covers most of my computing essentials.
items marked with an asterisk (*) are things i'm slowly moving away from. there is still life in them so i'll keep using them because i don't want to be wasteful (and i haven't yet found a good replacement with comparable performance/security/etc.) items with a degree symbol (°) are things i'm still unsure about.
