colophon (theme update)
- web hosting and cms: I use the Ghost (Pro) Starter Plan for both hosting and as my content management system. On March 17, 2023, I migrated from Wordpress to Ghost for two simple reasons: (a) user interface and (b) speed.
- theme [new!]: OnFlow by Priority Vision, I like the layout, it is minimal but provides enough 'space' to make this website something a little more than a blog.
- font [new!]: Geist Sans.
- brand color: #ef3e4a
tech quiver | hardware
- [New!]: MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2023) with the Apple M3 Pro chip, 18 gigs of RAM, and 1TB SSD. It’s sometimes connected to a 34-inch curved monitor, an Apple Magic Keyboard (with keypad), and a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse. Everything is silver(ish) so it feels congruent and simple.
- [New!] iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation) - this is my iPad for work, mostly used for videocalls.
- [confiscated by my wife]
iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation) - provides access to personal info while in the office - Second keyboard: Nuphy Air96 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard. It’s nice to look at, and that’s about it.
tech quiver | apps
- Obsidian: experimenting with this app since January 2023 and currently using it for all things note-taking, including writing blog posts
- [discontinued!]
Todoist: at risk of being discontinued, since I don't get to complete any of the tasks I add to it - Feedly: RSS reader of choice
- [revived!] Readwise
- [discontinued!]
Readwise Reader: supplanted Pocket, attempted to also supplant Feedly, but it's not there yet in terms of capabilities and aesthetics - [discontinued but not fully migrated!]
Notion: at risk of being discontinued if the Obsidian experiment works well - Notion is in zombie state. I rarely log in but still have valuable highly structured information in it. And Obsidian may not be the best place to store it yet.
- Lightroom: migrated my library from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom
- Magnet: great mini app for organizing content in MacOs
- Day One: private journal

- theme: Dawn by Ghost, it's one of the free themes and it's simple... I'd love to add an archives page though. I'm on the Starter Plan, so I don't get to make any customizations
- font: Modern sans-serif, clean and minimal and, again, not many choices here given the entry level Ghost plan
- brand color: #ef3e4a

- MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021) with the Apple M1 Pro chip, 16 gigs of RAM, and 1TB SSD. It’s sometimes connected to a 34-inch curved monitor, an Apple Magic Keyboard (with keypad), and a Microsoft Surface Precision mouse. Everything is silver(ish) so it feels congruent and simple.

Readwise - I’m looking for a less costly alternative, but there isn’t one. I may have to bite the bullet and go back to Readwise.
