Source of Wisdom

When solving problems or making decisions, I turn to ancient authors or those who are alive but influenced by dead authors e.g. • S. Tzu (2005) • L. Tzu & Needleman (1989) • Seneca (1997) • Aurelius (2003) • Suzuki (2020) • Watts (2007) • Murakami (2022) • Penrose (2004) • Taleb (2005) • Greene (2019) • Rutherfurd (2010) • Polya & Conway (2014) …

Software

I use open source apps and prefer apps that are readily installed in the OS.

✧ denotes essentials or all time favourites.

Hardware

I like tools that are durable and simple to use.
