Tech things I use and really like.

Base Things - Can’t Live without These

• iPad Mini - 64gb Space Gray Wifi - Just got this and love it. Perfect for reading books and articles on the web.
• Stream Deck Mini - I use this to configure Hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts for things I do routinely (there’s a running joke on my team about how bad I am at sharing on Zoom - I have a button for that now, but I still kinda suck at it :) ). The Stream Deck supports multiple profiles so you aren’t limited to just the 6 programmable buttons, and the profiles can be configured become active when specific apps are in the foreground.
• Yubikeys - Whenever I’m setting up a new service, the first thing I look for is does it support Yubikey. Brilliant little devices to keep your MFA local and physical while still being extremely convenient. You need these.
