This living document is where I talk about the equipment that I've used and what I think about it. I'll flesh it out as I have the time, so please check back for updates.

# Audio

## Microphones

### Shure
My default brand of microphone for ...well... everything, really.

#### SM58

The industry standard wired microphone. If you've seen a silver ice cream cone plugged into a cable and someone's yelling into it, it's either one of these, or a pale imitation of it. A rightfully earned reputation from decades of service.

#### SM57

### Blue
A solid, if not quirky, brand known for long-standing classics, and stand-out designs.

#### Snowball

The round, USB-connected, large-diaphram microphone that pretty much everyone should start with


# Video

## Blackmagic

A solid first rung on the ladder of pro video. If you're needing cameras, switching, editing, capture, display, conversion, or equipment for various other video use-cases, this is your first stop.
