Why not do an old school blogging meme for day 13? Well, that’s what I’m doing today, so… let’s go! I’ve seen it a couple of places, but I last saw it over here, which is where I was convinced that it would be today’s post.
I’m pretty much all Apple for end-user things. I’m also an Ubuntu users, but I pretty much only interact with it via the command line.
- Mail Client: Mimestream on macOS, Apple Mail on iOS
- Mail Server: It’s GMail all the way down.
- Notes: Apple Notes
- To-Do: Apple Reminders for long-term and recurring things. I use Day One for short-term to-dos and my daily work journal
- Photo Shooting: the iOS Camera or Hipstagram if I’m feeling fancy/silly.
- Photo Management: Apple Photos
- Calendar: Fantastical
- Cloud File Storage: Google Drive and iCloud
- RSS: NetNewsWire everywhere, and I’m so glad it’s back.
- Contacts: Google + iCloud (they’re a mess)
- Browser: Firefox for personal stuff, Chrome for work, Safari for mobile. I’m polybrowserous and am fine with it.
- Bookmarks: Firefox and Chrome (in profiles because you gotta keep things separate)
- Read It Later: Pocket, but it’s mostly later because I forget to check it.
- Word Processing, Spreadsheets & Presentations: Google Suite
- News: The aforementioned NetNewsWire for following blogs like Talking Points Memo (which has been awesome for 20+ years), Apple News+, NY Times, Washington Post, The Ringer and The Athletic.
- Music: Spotify and my Plex server for live shows and mashups
- Podcasts: Overcast
- Password Management: 1Password
- Code Editor: VS Code, but I really miss Atom.
