On any given day my copy of Firefox has several tabs open with Gmail, Google Reader, Google Calendar, my WordPress installation, Google Docs, and Twitter loaded. Most of my work happens in Firefox using various webapps, so it's OS-agnostic.
#INSTANTSHOT MAC OS SOFTWARE#
I'm triple-booting XP, Vista, and the Windows 7 beta on my PC, but primarily I use XP and just switch to the others to test software or make comparisons. Since I write about software for a living, I need to stay conversant on both Mac and Windows, so I split my time between them. I just switched from an iPhone to an HTC G1 phone running Android, which I use when my back is tired from hauling around my laptop. I use one of those crazy-shaped ergonomic keyboards (which I miss terribly when I'm on the road) and a run-of-the-mill optical mouse, plus a few external hard drives for backup, and iCurve laptop stand, and one of those wonderfully modular and customizable (but discontinued) Ikea Jerker desks. I've got both connected to a widescreen monitor I got on sale a few years back. I use one laptop and one desktop computer to get my work done: a 15-inch MacBook Pro, and a PC that I built myself from parts. I work mostly online, but sometimes I publish things on actual paper like books and magazine articles.

I'm Gina Trapani, and I'm a blogger and web developer.
