Automate with Snow Leopard
If you own a mac and have installed Snow Leopard, you need to take a look at Services. Snow Leopard has seriously upgraded automator and services with this latest release. Services will allow you to simplify tasks that typically take several, redundant steps and consolidate them down to a one click button or even an automatic scheduled event. This could be a very powerful tool in your bag of tricks as a developer of any kind. To learn more check out the automator site.

ThinkPad USB Keyboard
This is so cool. I have always enjoyed the feel and responsiveness of the IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad keyboards. Now you can buy a USB version for $59.00 US for your home PC. I might even try one of these with my mac.
MonoPrice.com
If you need a cable or home theater accessory, I challenge you to find a better price than what monoprice.com offers. Unbelievable. I just found an eSATA cable for less than $4.00. The same cable sells for $20 at bestbuy.
