The Cooper serves as a front end for a Sound Devices 744T portable hard disk recorder.
My Remote Audio High Noise Headset protects my hearing and allows me to monitor recordings at a safe level.
When I'm back at my desk, I work on a mid-2009 15" MacBook Pro, which is still running strong.
My day to day work lives on several bare 3.5" drives that get docked in my Newertech Voyager Q.
When my drives are not in the Voyager they are kept warm and safe in Hudzees on a bookshelf.
My Scansnap s1300 document scanner helps keep the paper away.
I take a ton of notes, and when I am not using a computer I like to use my Lamy 2000 fountain pen and Rhodia pads.
