There are some computing tasks I want to keep going at all time, so I keep a second home computer running to augment my main Mac's powers.
FASTSCRIPTS PYTHON PORTABLE
The only downside to basing everything off a portable computer is the lid must sometimes be closed, and the computer goes to sleep. I used to keep a humongous Mac Pro in my office but as the power of portable computers has increased I find the benefits of having one "home computer" that goes everywhere you do outweigh the minor performance losses compared to a behemoth workhorse. My main work machine is a 2010-era 15" MacBook Pro, which I imagine will eventually be upgraded to a rough equivalent in the Retina MacBook Pro line. I work from home, so all the hardware I use to run the business doubles in some capacity as a personal computer as well. I recently started an interview podcast: the Bitsplitting Podcast.
I'm active in the Mac and iOS developer community, where I have gotten to know folks through public speaking, blogging on my company blog and personal tech blog, and through podcasting with my friend Manton Reece on Core Intuition. I grew up in California, started my career at Apple, quit to earn a 2nd BA in Music, and finally settled in to founding and running Red Sweater Software.
