quiver and colophon
(updated March 30, 2023)
colophon
- 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: 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
tech quiver | hardware
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.
tech quiver | apps
- Obsidian: experimenting with this app since January 2023 and currently using it for all things note-taking, including writing blog posts
- 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
- Readwise
- Readwise Reader: supplanted Pocket, attempted to also supplant Feedly, but it's not there yet in terms of capabilities and aesthetics
- Notion: at risk of being discontinued if the Obsidian experiment works well
- Lightroom Classic and Lightroom
- Magnet: great mini app for organizing content in MacOs
- Day One: private journal
