Behind the Scenes

Over at the Professional Network Weblog, we've been running a series called Behind the Scenes where Six Apart staff introduce themselves and explain what tools they use:

Behind The Scenes is a new series where we here at Six Apart discuss what tools (software, technology, etc.) we use to do our work.

So far, Walt, Brenna, Paul, Ezra have been profiled. It's a neat series to get acquainted with people at the company.

A brief look at the applications I use on a daily basis: Entourage, Photoshop CS, NetNewsWire 2.0 (beta), Firefox & Safari, iChat, Instiki, SubEthaEdit and Acrobat. Oddly, I do almost all my work in Entourage -- including writing weblog posts and any sort of document or notes as a draft. I have recently found that I enjoy using Instiki to keep notes. I don't like using wikis for collaboration. We keep one internally and I'm at a lost when it comes to finding data quickly. I'm a chronological, categorical sort of person. However, I've been able to use Instiki for collaboration with the person I know best -- myself.
