• iTunesKeys – Since I have a Dell SK-8135 keyboard at home and work, being able to use the media buttons run iTunes is nice.
• DropBox – Just started using this to share files between computers now that I have a new notebook.  it’s pretty handy, I must say.
• Daum Blue Firefox Theme – I think I’ve finally found a Firefox theme that I like.
• HootSuite – This online Twitter client is excellent, except for the Ping.Fm integration sends @replies.  It should be interesting how all of the Twitter clients handle the new Twitter list functionality.
• VLC – This media player is like a Swiss Army knife.  It plays everything.  And yes, you can have it play full screen on a second monitor by default.  The “f” hotkey sets it to full screen.  It does simple video conversions, too.
• Jing – Done a couple of screencasts with this bad boy.  Very nice.
• Google Wave – I was a little frustrated that it took so long to get an invite.  I think Wave has a bunch of potential.  I do agree with some that instant collaboration has it’s drawbacks.
• IETester – Excellent for cross-browser testing.  Yes, people still do that.
• FileHippo.com Update Checker – I’m a little anal about keeping my software up to date.  I run this, like, once a week.
• Notepad++ – I don’t really want to ever use the standard Windows Notepad again.  Macro recording functionality and code highlighting is nice for the quick edit.
• Irfanview – Did you know that Irfanview can open multipage PDFs and convert them to single page with a watermark?  Now you do.  There’s a reason why Irfanview is always on my favorites list.  It’s amazing.
• MozBackup – Need to move all of your Firefox settings from one computer to another?  Use this.
• Launchy I like Launchy.  It seems weird sitting at a computer that doesn’t have it.  If you want to use Win-Space as your hotkey and you have Google Desktop installed, do this.
