Mobile Gear

I'm a big fan of fruity products, so you'll notice the majority of my mobile gear is made by Apple. I do most of my work on a 14" M1 Max MacBook Pro (2021) and it does a wonderful job.

  • 64GB RAM
  • 1TB SSD

I use Apple AirPods Pro for listening to my jams while I'm on the go. I use my 11" iPad Pro as a second screen sometimes, though more often than not I prefer working on a single screen.

I also carry an Apple Magic Keyboard, a Magic Trackpad 2, and a Jubor laptop stand. These prevent my back from hating me for hunching over a laptop for several hours. Finally, I pack it all into a handmade, vintage leather rucksack. 😁

Home Office

When working from home, I usually hook my MacBook up to a docking station with an external monitor for more screen real estate:

Streaming

I use a two computer streaming setup. I do all of my work on my MacBook Pro while it's connected to the dock system mentioned above. Then I run an HDMI cable from my MacBook Pro to one of the capture cards on my streaming machine.

On my streaming machine, I run OBS to combine the input from my MacBook Pro and my Logitech cameras to create the stream!

While this setup is great, it's not doing all of the work! I have several other pieces of gear that really make my streams stand out.
