My Tech: What I Use

My Tech: What I Use

HNM My Tech: What I UseI’ve wanted to write this post for a long time – highlighting the tech I use on a regular basis. This is a “living post” and will continue to evolve as I add/subtract items (I am an early adopter so I’m frequently rotating product and selling the old stuff on Gazelle).

If you have suggestions, questions or recommendations for my next piece of tech – or if you’re an organization looking to have your technology given an un-biased review – send me a note.

Note: I have not been compensated by any vendor/provider for this post – I’m just listing the stuff I use and think is cool !
