Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

Here’s a list of some of my favorite stuff.

  • Thinkpad T14s Gen 4

    I have a 14" Thinkpad running Linux Mint. I chose the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U version with Radeon 780M Graphics, 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM. It’s a great machine for web development and the screen is crisp and clear.
