About ten years ago, Mark Pilgrim wrote up a "How I Work" blog post entitled "essentials". 

I'd just started blogging myself a couple of months earlier and said of Mark's post:

> I like reading posts like this. They're like a colophon for your digital life.

I then suggested someone should come up with a  machine-readable schema for them that included:

> * what OS
> * what editor
> * what browser
> * what mail reader
> * what feed reader
> * what IM client
> * what media player
> * and so on...
>
> Doesn't just have to be software - could include what cell phone, what portable music player, etc.

Despite suggesting this, I never actually got around to providing my own digital life colophon. That's what this stream is now for :-)

Since February, 2013, I've pretty much exclusively worked on a **MacBook Pro 15" Retina with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD**.

I do have a 27" iMac from 2011 but given my 15" MBPr has higher resolution, I haven't had much motivation to use it.
