Every tool, every chip, every keystroke —
the gear running the whole operation.
Here's everything I use to make the magic happen. Some of it is genuinely great. Some of it I'm still figuring out. I'll tell you which is which. If anything below sounds useful for your own setup, the links go through Amazon — full disclosure at the bottom.
