Goods

Things I own, use, and would buy again. I research gear more than I should, and these are the purchases that held up.
MX Master 4 Mouse
I keep it for the scroll wheels and the button that switches between computers. It fits my hand, too.
M3 MacBook Pro
I kept my last MacBook Pro for 11 years. This one is quiet, fast, and runs a long time unplugged.
8-Cup One-Touch Coffee Maker
One button, good coffee every time, and no settings to fuss with.
Professional Cutting Board XL
Big enough for a full prep, and nice enough to leave out on the counter.
Classic 8" Chef Knife
The knife I reach for most. It feels balanced in my hand and handles everyday prep.
Stream Deck Neo
I don't stream. I use the buttons for shortcuts and routines that save me a few clicks a day.
MR4 Powered Speakers
Clear sound for music and calls, with no extra amp or setup.
Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar
Lights my desk without another lamp or glare on my screen. I love the adjustable brightness and color temperature.
Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker
Cheapest way into the Sonos ecosystem. I much prefer it to managing Bluetooth connections.
Forerunner 945
Reliable GPS and long battery life, which is what I care about when I train. It also tracks more metrics than I need.
Hypervolt 2
Quiet enough that I'll actually use it. Recovery is key!
Pro Tech Toolkit
I'm a tinkerer and this has every bit I've ever needed, which makes opening and repairing electronics much less annoying.
Butane Lighter Insert
I keep the Zippo case I like and get a refillable torch flame.
Hexa IEMs
Detailed sound and a fit I can wear for hours, at a fraction of what premium headphones cost.
Claymation
Matte finish, strong hold, and still workable after I put it in. I only need a little.
Run Cushion High Arch Insoles
These fit my high arches better than the stock insoles in my running shoes. If your arches are high too, they're worth a try.
Gel 160
My race fuel when I want a bigger gel. It doesn't upset my stomach mid-race.
Classic Beeswax Lip Balm
I like the texture, and every pharmacy and gas station sells it, so I keep buying the yellow tube.
Kosher Salt
The flakes are easy to pinch, so I can season by feel. It's the salt I cook with.
ZeroLyte Stick Packs
Easy to throw in a bag for hot days and mix into water.
Magnum Plus
Holds a lot of pepper, grinds fast, and the grind setting is easy to change. It's big, and I like that.
Thin Stomach Sleeping Pillow
I sleep on my stomach, and this thin pillow beats every standard pillow I've tried.
