NetDraw Liked
The point of the giant setup is that in my freetime I like running giant network visualizations using NetDraw, a free program written by Steve Borgatti for visualizing both 1-mode and 2-mode social network data.

MacBook Air Liked
For everyday computing I use a 11" MacBook Air. It fits in a tiny bag. I used to carry a MacBook Pro 15" and a MacBook 13" in the same Timbuktoo bag. It was rather unpleasant. The Air is good for planes and has great battery life and speed. It multitasks like a pro and handles lots of large files.

EyeFi Connect 4G Uses
When I get home all of my documents automatically upload to Flickr on private mode, so that I can choose which ones to reveal or delete with a minimum of work. I use an EyeFi Connect 4G SD card for this.

Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS Uses
To document all of these items I use a Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS. I take around 30,000 photos a year. This breaks the camera.

Dropbox Uses
I use Dropbox for syncing, and it goes to a server in the closet at home for nightly backups. Redundancy is important.

Colloquy Uses
I use Colloquy as an IRC client for Mac and iPhone. Colloquy connects both to Freenode, the internal Geoloqi IRC channels, and the home channel with the Loqi bot.

Omnigraffle Liked
When I was at Vertigo Software I was quite tied to Visio, but at Geoloqi I'm predominately on a Mac, so I've switched over to Omnigraffle for wireframing.

Flickr Loved
Skitch and Flickr are my power tools. Together, they form my external brain. I take screenshots with Skitch, edit them, mark them up and press the Share button to send them up to Flickr, where I then cite, categorize, annotate and store them for later use.

JumpCut Loved
My favorite app for Mac is JumpCut. JumpCut allows one to store up to 50 clipboard objects and access them with a tiny set of keyboard shortcuts. The interface is invisible until one needs it. It makes me feel like my short term memory is suddenly 50 memories long, instead of just 4 or 5.
