It depends on my current propensity to get distracted. It runs on both my work and home laptops.įor longform writing, I get all weird: I will use Ommwriter, WriteRoom, BBEdit, Sublime Text or even the WordPress editor. And what software?īeing a web dork means having a romantic relationship with your browser, and I am an unrepentant Chrome devotee. Well, except the shower and the gym, but aside from those caveats, everywhere. Right next to my iPad you’ll almost always find my iPhone 4, which I take with me everywhere. Still, it has replaced a laptop for 90% of my tasks when my son isn’t stealing it to play Dungeon Raid. It’s awesome, if a bit heavy and sharp-edged. I have a first-gen iPad that I use for everything except longform content creation. I use Apple’s wired keyboard because I have to have a number pad for data crunching, and I have a filthy - disgusting, really - Logitech wireless mouse whose model number I can’t remember because it was made before the dawn of language.

If you don’t have multiple monitors but can afford them/are allowed to by your IT team, you’re cheating yourself.Īt home, I use a pretty banged-up early 2008 MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM that’s connected to a 2002 HP 2335 LCD monitor. Multiple monitors are the single best thing you can add to your setup next to a jetpack to improve productivity, and I would be far, far slower without them. In the office, I use a super-gonzo Dell Precision laptop running Windows 7 Professional connected to three 24″ monitors.

After we get past that initial awkwardness, they invariably ask two things: (1) Can social media help my business? And (2) What is your computer hardware/software setup like?įor this Friday post, I will tackle both questions.įor (2), I will answer in the format of The Setup’s interviews, because I can read that stuff all day and have found some excellent software from them. Like, “Oh, how long have you been unemployed?” funny.


When I tell people I do web/social media marketing work, that basically I’m a full-on web nerd, they look at me funny.
