Mixed on iPad
I have an iPad as well which I've found very useful for reading book manuscripts (which I must do when designing book covers) but don't use it as much as I thought I would for other things.

Liked 11" MacBook Air
On the go: An 11" MacBook Air with 4 gigs of RAM, which is perfect for client emergencies when I'm traveling, for working on small vector projects and for working on typefaces, which don't require a massive screen.

Uses Blue Ball microphone
I make most of my phone calls using my Skype number and use a Blue Ball microphone and a variety of headphones to make that happen (and not sound crappy and echoey).

Uses Fontlab Studio 5
Adobe Creative Suite CS5 (primarily Illustrator), Lightroom for importing and "developing" RAW pix from my GF1, Fontlab Studio 5, DropBox for backing up all of my files (I could not live without DropBox considering the amount of machines I'm constantly switching between).

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
