- Argo 580 Uses
  
  At the farm, I drive an Argo 580, an amphibious tracked vehicle. The geese like it, too.

- emacs Uses
  
  I also use emacs a lot. I type this in emacs, and I read email in emacs (in vm, to be precise). I've used emacs since 1988 and I have email archives from back then.

Nissan Leaf Loved

I drive electric cars: a Think from 2002 (still with original batteries), and a newer Nissan Leaf. Both are fantastic cars.

I wear a Swatch model GB743, which is lightweight, ticks, and has high-contrast analog dial with day and date. I only take it off to change battery.

Lowepro Fastpack 250 Liked

The Lowepro Fastpack 250 has room for the laptop, the camera and lenses to spare. I've travelled around the world with only this bag as my luggage.
