I write blog posts and business notes in Text Edit on my 13″ Apple MacBook , formatting them with code as I go.
The laptop itself is pretty bare — it’s never been connected to the internet and I haven’t installed any apps on it, but I find this is a productivity godsend: there’s only so much time you can spend fooling around in Photobooth, making yourself look like a Roswell-style alien, before returning to the task at hand!
My main workhorse is a PC that a friend custom-built for me in 2006, though I’m collecting parts to build a new rig as soon as possible. One thing I will keep is my black 22″ monitor!
I transfer blog posts to the workhorse with a Cruzer Titanium 2GB USB thumb drive , then slot them into Wordpress. The websites and apps I couldn’t work without are: Gmail (for all five email accounts I use! Don’t worry, they’re consolidated), Wordpress , PayPal (for invoicing, getting paid, payin...

“I have a 17 inch Macbook Pro, an iPhone, and a backup hard drive that lives at home. My office is always with me. Some days I work at coffee shops, sometimes at a park, and other days I sit with my feet up on a bench on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz. I haven’t work...

Home offices are really nice, but they do come with one obvious limitation: they don’t work outside the home. Lugging around a printer, filing cabinet, business journal, desktop computer, stationary and a receipt spike doesn’t really facilitate an ‘anywhere’ workstyle.

The Dell Latitude XFR D630 is what Mike Elgan calls the Anti-Macbook Air . It’s tough, rugged, heavy, and darn near indestructible. It can handle dust storms, driving rain, extreme temperatures and comes in — get this — black and desert tan. Strike forces are go!
Mark Bittman introduces the concept of the virtual break — a period where you withdraw yourself completely from electronic communications and information. My virtual breaks occur when I walk between the...
