Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
Workstations
Self-built Mini-ITX Desktop
Small, powerful and quiet. A relatively small build using a Cooler Master NR200P case fits both a watercooled Ryzen 5800X and a NVIDIA 3080. It can run everything I can throw at it, including my incredibly under-optimized ray tracers!
Keychron K7
I am absolutely in love with this tiny beauty. It's nimble, practical and amazing to type on.
Steelseries Prime Wireless
I used to give wireless mice a bad reputation, but after using this I'm converted. Never been happier with the battery life, and the cable is usable between the wireless receiver and to charge & use the mouse itself.
Logitech BRIO 4K PRO
My most recent upgrade is this amazing webcam. The build quality is very sturdy and image quality is as good as I could wish for.
Development tools
VS Code
Versatility is all I reach for, and VS Code has it all. A much appreciated upgrade from the now dead Atom. Supports my development in Rust, Golang, Typescript, Python and even GLSL.
Renderdoc
What would I do without Renderdoc? The world of graphics is already deep and dark, and Renderdoc gives me the light I need.
Productivity
Linear
For my entire professional career, I've used JIRA and Trello. And WOW! am I happy I found Linear. It's so much easier to use for someone who doesn't need the enterprise power tools. Powers both my work tasks and for my family.
Google Calendar
The best free calendar out there, no question about it. Does everything I need in a calendar, which is not much.
