- 15 minutes 52 secondsKw1902 – How I Tech -Episode 2 : The gear I use.
Technology should help you focus, not distract you. So in this episode of the How I Tech series, I take you through the devices I use every day and explain why I chose them. From a Linux-powered laptop rescued from the recycling center to an 11-inch iPad, an iPhone and an Android e-reader, every piece of gear has a purpose.
An episode that isn’t about having the latest gadgets. It’s about building a digital environment that lets you create, stay focused and remain in control.
Join me as I share the philosophy behind my tech stack, and why sometimes less really is more.

Welcome to the 19th rebirth of the Knightwise.com’s podcast: a fresh start marked by our first episode within what we’re calling
the ‘post-cross-platform’ era! This is the launch of a scripted series on “How I Tech” where I’m delving deep into my “Digital Environment” and detailing the tech choices that drive it.We’re focusing intensely on digital intentionalism: optimizing your workflow with precisely chosen tools, not just collecting gadgets. Each episode will unpack the gear I utilize daily from keyboards to mice, tablets to headphones and why I chose to dumpster-dive my laptop, just for the fun of it. A talk about how I leverage them to maximize efficiency and creative output. It’s a series about not only tuning, but taming technology to work for you.
Recorded, edited, and published entirely from an iPad, it’s a deliberate choice showcasing my commitment to
streamlined workflows, I’m continuing this personal quest for digital simplicity, minimal distractions,
and maximum creativity. If you’re grappling with the relentless noise of countless apps, constant
interruptions, and the overwhelming complexity of modern tech… then listen in because in the eve of digital distopia, you are gonna need all the help you can get.20 June 2026, 10:17 am - 1 hour 20 minutesKW1802 – Intentional Email

Knightwise is joined this week by KD to discuss the general ideas around how we can approach technology with a more intentional attitude. With the advent of algorithms and the attention economy it’s more important than ever that we learn how to make technology work for us, instead of the other way around.
