  • New Favorite Things for March 2017

    March 1, 2017

    I just made a few updates to my list of favorite things, and thought I would blog the changes here! All the links are Amazon Affiliate links which helps me out if you buy things based on my recommendations.

    HooToo USB-C Adapter

    This adapter is the main one I travel with now that I have a USB-C laptop. It has 3 USB-A ports, HDMI output and an SD card reader!

    Yamaha YAS-106 Sound Bar

    I finally replaced my receiver and surround speakers with a sound bar. This sound bar is surprisingly much better than the Bose Solo 15 sound bar I tried before.

    CyberPower 1500VA UPS

    This UPS is surprisingly compact, and also provides a pure sine wave. It fits great in my Ikea Kallax shelf.

    Anker 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub

    I leave this hub on my desk, and it's able to power external hard drives, and connect to all the USB accessories I use regularly. Combined with the USB-C adapter, this means I only need to plug one connector into my computer and I get all my USB devices.

    XKey 25-Key Musical Keyboard

    This piano keyboard is as thin and stylish as a Mac keyboard, great for traveling. The keys are nothing like real piano keys, but it's enough to pluck out an idea. I've been carrying this with me on trips as I've been writing music for 100 days.

    Instant Pot

    This pressure cooker is cheap, simple to use, and makes cooking everything so much easier. Black beans in 40 minutes? Yes please. Also great for cooking squash, and makes rice super easy.

    KitchenAid Immersion Blender

    Paired with the Instant Pot, this blender makes cooking large batches of soups ridiculously easy.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
