<p class="answer">Any and all of this is slung over my back in a <a href="http://amzn.to/1taGmyj" target="_blank">Brenthaven Prostyle™ Slimpack</a> or Tom Bihn <a href="http://www.tombihn.com/PROD/TB0223.html">Ristretto</a>.</p>
<p class="answer">For media consumption I have a <a href="http://amzn.to/1sMT4GL" target="_blank">Raspberry Pi</a> and a <a href="http://amzn.to/1taGvli" target="_blank">Google Chromecast</a> hooked up to a 40" <a href="http://amzn.to/1taGEVW" target="_blank">Samsung Series 8 LED TV</a>. All the media is loaded onto a <a href="http://amzn.to/1sMTfln" target="_blank">Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra-4</a> with enough space to last well into the future. To control the TV and XBMC I use the awesome <a href="http://amzn.to/1sMTlJJ" target="_blank">Logitech Harmony 600</a> universal remote. I cannot recommend these remotes enough. The living room also houses a <a href="http://amzn.to/1prFoxU" target="_blank">Sonos Play:5</a> for streaming music and a <a href="http://amzn.to/1oFXEF4" target="_blank">Play:1</a> upstairs in the bedroom.</p>
<p class="question">And what software?</p>
<p class="answer">All the Macs run <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Mavericks" target="_blank">Mavericks</a> and content is kept in sync with <a href="http://google.com/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>. I always have an instance of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Terminal" target="_blank">Terminal</a>, enhanced with <a href="http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/" target="_blank">HomeBrew</a>, running and work wouldn't be the same without <a href="http://www.skype.com/" target="_blank">Skype</a> (and <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/" target="_blank">VirtualBox</a> for any Windows nonsense). <a href="http://www.alfredapp.com/" target="_blank">Alfred</a> replaces Spotlight and enables clipboard history -- as well as a host of other functionality (it's great for those who love keyboard shortcuts). <a href="http://justgetflux.com/" target="_blank">f.lux</a> is a must-have for those who have trouble falling asleep at night.</p>

<p class="answer">I have <a href="http://preyproject.com/" target="_blank">Project Prey</a> installed just in case my phone, tablet or laptop are lost or stolen.</p>
<p class="answer">Taking photos out-and-about with a proper camera is a cinch with the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=to.rcpt.fefi" target="_blank">Android app, "Fe-Fi"</a>, on my phone; it downloads the photos from the camera and uploads them automatically to <a href="http://smugmug.com/" target="_blank">SmugMug</a>, which is where all <a href="http://photos.scott.wallace.sh/" target="_blank">my photos</a> are stored.</p>
<p class="answer">Video transcoding on the desktop is handled by <a href="http://handbrake.fr/" target="_blank">Handbrake</a> whilst <a href="http://flexget.com/" target="_blank">Flexget</a>, a kick-ass piece of software, keeps all my media automatically up-to-date. The Raspberry Pi runs <a href="http://openelec.tv/" target="_blank">OpenELEC</a> (Linux + <a href="http://xbmc.org/" target="_blank">XBMC</a>) and HDMI-CEC (Samsung Anynet+) handles input from the remote.</p>
