About Captain Tech

I'm Captain Tech. I live in Lincoln Square on the north side of Chicago and get around by e-bike, no car. My days are split between a home office (bookkeeping, mostly), too much coffee, PC gaming in the evening, a small Raspberry Pi home lab, and a fish tank that has to survive all of the above without much attention.

This site is the gear from that life: some of it I already own and use, some of it is on my shortlist because it fits a gap I actually have. Every card is labeled owned, used for years, or shortlist. See how I pick for the full rundown.
