I use a late-2011 13" MacBook Air as my only computer.
Thunderbolt Display+ 37 others
At my office, I use it with a Thunderbolt Display.
In the summer of 2013, I became afraid of RSI and preventatively switched to an Evoluent vertical mouse, which I've been pretty happy with (though I wish I'd gotten the wired version).
My keyboard is a full-hand ErgoDox.
I have an iPhone 4, but find it frustrating.
For screencasting, I used a Rode Podcaster mic and a pair of inconsequential in-ear headphones for monitoring.
Communication
Productivity
I track tasks with OmniFocus, both on my Mac and my iPhone.
Security
My passwords are in 1Password; most of them are unique strings of 24-32 random characters.
Coding & Development
Design
Storage
Then, just for good measure, I clone the entire 1.5 GB Time Capsule to another USB drive via rsync.
