I have a 13" MacBook Pro, it's my work computer and life computer because I can't deal with syncing.
Even though I said I can't deal with syncing, I have an 11" ASUS Chromebook because I wanted a little computer just for writing in cafes and not feeling like I was "working".
I have an iPhone 6S and this fun cat battery pack I got in Taipei, I love it so much!
I have a retina iPad mini for reading books, articles and blogs or streaming Law and Order episodes next to my laptop.
I recently treated myself to a Bernina 350 sewing machine.
I have a Fuji X100T camera that I'm sad to admit that after a year I'm no better at shooting manual with.
I got the Linus Sac bag that clips onto a rack - it's so great not carrying things on your back.
I have a lot of notebooks but mostly use Muji ones with Muji pens or Pilot Hi-Tec-C pens in .3 which are my all time favorite.
Communication
I write Markdown documentation in Atom, too, because the Markdown preview is great.
Notes
Coding & Development
I code in Atom, no surprise!
I use Google Spreadsheets as a lightweight database a lot and have a library sheetsee.js I made for doing fun stuff with that data.
Media
I was periodically using Rdio (RIP) but I too often forget to play music at all.
I use Feedly to read way too many design and Scandinavian interior blogs.
Other
I use the GitHub Desktop app for checking diffs when I care about the diffs ;)
Oh, and I use mojibar for finding the right emoji.
