Propane Uses
I use Propane to connect to Typekit's Campfire account; we're virtual, with folks spread out between San Francisco and Berlin, so this is where much of our work happens.

Moop messenger bag Uses
I carry everything around in a Moop messenger bag; there's enough room for the Macbook, a Moleskin, and a print book.

Word Disliked
Editing for the books usually happens in either Word or Pages; I have no love for either, but Word plays nicely with InDesign, so we're a little but stuck with it for now.

IA Writer Mixed on
I've been using IA Writer a bit lately for writing; I love the look of it, but find myself going back to Writeboards in my Backpack account out of a need to mark and compare versions.

Firebug Loved
I keep Firefox around for testing and because Firebug is still the best way to debug a site.

Safari Uses
I spend a lot of my time in a browser; usually Safari. Chrome is arguably a better browser, but I seem to be sticking with Safari out of inertia and appreciation for its stronger visual polish.

Dropbox Loved
Nearly everything I work on is stored in Dropbox. I feel good knowing my laptop could be stolen or smashed, and I could pick up a new machine, hook it up to Dropbox, and get back to work moments later.

TextMate Liked
I use TextMate to code; I don't even really care that it hasn't been updated in a while - it suits my purposes as is.

nvALT 2 Loved
I recently started using nvALT 2 to take notes and I'm smitten. The Markdown support, keyboard-centric design, searching, and autosave are all excellent. I'm taking more and better notes as a result.

Things Liked
Things remains my to-do app, especially now that the cloud sync is in public beta. I like the way it lets me organize to-dos into different projects; when you have a lot of projects, that bit of separation is key.

1Password Uses
I use 1Password to log in everywhere. It's completely insane how many logins one person can acquire.
