Tools and useful things

Software

VS Code / Cursor - no particular frills. It's what I'm used to! I use the Dracula theme
Obsidian - best note taking app
Descript - video recording and editing for interviews and screencasts
Raycast - window manager, quick actions, ask AI, bookmarks
Readwise and Readwise Reader. Ingest Kindle highlights, RSS reader, Read it Later, highlighter. All exported in Markdown to my Obsidian vault.

Sony A7C - compact full-frame mirrorless camera, great for hiking. Main lens is the 24-70mm f/2.8 GMII
Sony RX100M3 (I previously used the M4, but it got jammed with sand) - the best pocket camera line
GoPro 8 - I've had a few GoPros. This is good for hiking and running videos. Software is good for quick exports. I wish they hadn't discontinued their Mac desktop app, as that added value to their cloud storage offering.
Osmo Pocket - although I don't use this as much anymore, it's a great video camera. The form factor was excellent for taking unobtrusive day to day video. Not so good for running. If I had more money than I have then I'd upgrade this.
Peak Design - I use their camera clips, lens switcher and straps. I also have their Everyday Sling camera bag. All high quality, all super-useful for hiking, particularly the camera clips.

Brooks running shoes
Osprey running backpack
Garmin Forerunner 935 - it's not let me down, I wear it daily. I bought Garmin Index scales to go with it. Does multiple sports modes, including swimming.

Cloth wipes (Cheeky Wipes, Little Gubbins) - at first I thought these would be gross, now I vastly prefer them to disposable wipes. Far more solid, far better at doing the job they are designed for. We started with Cheeky Wipes, which also include buckets, etc. Now I prefer the larger Cheeky Gubbins ones, and we bought a bigger cheap bucket for used wipes.
Lumi (now re-branded Zello) White Noise Machine - a nice part of the bedtime routine, plays various noises, and white noise to help sleep. Portable, and with glowing lights.
