  • sea serpent bracelet Loved

    My sea serpent bracelet from Jill Platner. I put it on and take it off dozens of times a day, and slide it back and forth between my hands. It has the perfect weight and feel

  • Google Docs Liked

    Now, almost everything happens in Google Docs, except for when I write straight into the Axios or Substack CMS. (Both of which are lovely, WYSIWYG, very simple and easy to use.)

  • Preview Liked

    For desktop I use a lot of native Apple apps, including Mail, Notes, Calculator, Preview (which is powerful and very underrated), even Safari.

  • Artemide Tolomeo Loved

    I've put a little circular side table next to it which is perfect for a glass of wine or whisky, alongside an Artemide Tolomeo floor lamp; it's my own little corner of modernist bliss.

  • Eames Aluminum Group lounge chair Loved

    I'm always promising myself that I should read more books, and I have the perfect device for doing so: an Eames Aluminum Group lounge chair with ottoman.

  • Withings Activité Loved

    I love anything that doesn't come with battery anxiety, like, well, my Masahiro Maruyama eyeglasses, or my original Withings Activité watch, which is waterproof, so I almost never take it off.

  • T-Mobile Recommends

    T-Mobile doesn't come close to having the best coverage, but once you've experienced the wonders of free international roaming, you'll never use any other carrier.

  • iPad mini 2 Disliked

    I also have a black AT&T 128GB iPad mini 2, which is a clunky horrible thing and slow as molasses.

  • Bose QuietComfort 35 Mixed on

    including my electric toothbrush and my Bose QuietComfort 35 cordless headphones. (I'm not a huge fan of those, either, they're a bit too bulky, I don't like the way they keep on talking to me about what they've connected to or disconnected from, and they tend to press on the arms of my eyeglasses.)

    My best big hardware purchase was undoubtedly my Jarvis standing desk, which singlehandely cured me of a really nasty pain across the back of my shoulders.

  • Thule Paramount Loved

    I loved that thing, but I went out and bought a new Thule Paramount, and I really love it - I should listen to my wife more often.
