Favorite Things
It can take time to discover the things we like. For many of the things I use on a daily basis, it took years and dozens of alternatives. I wish I could have discovered all this stuff at once, so I hope pages like this become more popular.
Aside from making cool things more discoverable, pages like this are also a great way for people to get a better picture of who you are. Plus, writing a sentence about stuff you use ensures everything in your life has a purpose.
My goal is to make this page as comprehensive as possible, so many of the lists here are complete lists. For example, I really do have only a dozen apps installed on my laptop, and I rely on this list to reinstall those apps every time I reset or get a new one.
