1. Quake IV...action-packed game that still runs well & looks fantastic on my noisy old (by gamer's standards, anyway) PC.
2. Firefox...runs well on Linux, OS X, & Windows - reliable for fun & work; extensions are useful!
3. ScribeFire extension for Firefox - I can do all my blogging in here without even needing to visit the blog page.
4. Jalepeño peppers - they make so many dishes taste that much better
5. Web-based apps...between syncing my bookmarks, calendar, email, read rss feeds, to do lists, project managment, documents, passwords (yeah, the security on that is still a lot questionable), blogs, & photos - the bulk of stuff that I'm mostly doing on a computer is now all through a web browser. I like that, and the fact that everything is so light-weight your hardware has little impact on it.
(well, I do most writing & spreadsheet stuff on office software...gaming & music software are unique non-web related apps).
So the browser is the OS? I used to think that was crazy talk but I'm nearly living it...
6. Libraries...although I mentioned it before, it bears saying again...free books & information is a wonderful service.
7. Civ IV - a very well designed game that is addictive & deep; yet simple.
8. Gomez - wonderful band from the UK that produced 3 solid albums in the late 90's and early 00's. Their 4th wasn't as good. They made a 5th one that I haven't listened to very much yet...probably still not as good as their first 3 but seem to be improving.
