I have a 13" MacBook Air with a 128GB hard drive.
I mostly use it with a Dell 30" monitor using a Mini-displayport to Dual-Link DVI adapter.
In the middle of 2011, I got a Nexus S.
I read books on my Kindle before I sleep.
I have an iPad 1G that sometimes substitutes Kindle as my bedside companion.
Communication
I use Adium for IRC and general Instant Messaging.
Productivity
I have Microsoft Office out of necessity of dealing with antiquated documents that I sometimes get sent.
Browser
Coding & Development
I hack on HTML5 Boilerplate, Move the web forward, am a member of the W3C and a Web Opener for Opera.
Python's SimpleHTTPServer is sufficient for setting up a local server.
Any code goes into a git repo that is either deployed to Github or other remote git repos.
Media
Storage
Dropbox is where anything I need to preserve goes.
Other
Gyazo is my favourite no-nonsense screencapture app.
I purchased Screenflow which is a very user-friendly video creating/editing app for anything that requires a video capture.
I recently ported my blog to Jekyll - all 7 years of it!
