One of my favorite Simpsons bits of all time. God, I miss the seasons 2-10 era of that show.

looking at your beautiful office pictures I see that you are using the wireless mouse, keyboard, and trackpad. What kind of batteries do you use to power them, rechargeable or normal? And if rechargeable do you use the Apple one? Just curious because I go though a ridiculous amount.
Rechargeable batteries, yep, and I do use the Apple version. The nice thing about Apple’s set is that it comes with a charger and six batteries (enough for one full set of mouse, trackpad and keyboard), for only $30. I have at least four sets of them so everything in the house is able to run while a spare set charges.
This parody is so accurate and good, it actually wouldn’t be any better if Ira Glass and Terry Gross had done it themselves (pun intended?).
In the spirt of The Setup, John breaks down his daily work habits and describes his setups, both technical and non. This is nerdery of multiple degrees—I love reading posts like this and getting a brief look inside the process of someone I admire.
