I spend most of my time working on a quad-core i7 15" MacBook Pro.
I scribble notes and mindmaps in a Moleskine Large Soft Squared notebook with the incredible Rotring 800 mechanical drafting pencil.
My favorite piece of hardware is definitely my Teenage Engineering OP-1 portable synthesizer.
I use a Blue Yeti condenser mic for podcasts.
If I want to have my iPad, Kindle, and Moleskine with me while leaving the laptop, I throw everything into the tremendously portable Tumi Alpha Small Leather Flap Body Bag.
I also carry the fanatically small Fujifilm x100 with me everywhere I go.
I use a Wacom Intuos 4 for editing photos.
I store everything on a Drobo FS NAS filled with 2TB 5-platter Hitachi Deskstar drives.
I play everything on a Boxee Box, which changed my life forever.
