Addonics USB to NAS adapter. $55. Sweet. Let's you plug any USB hard drive into your router and then share it over SMB or Samba with any connected computer.
SmartMarkUp javascript textarea editor looks very nice. Usually these are too cluttered, and try to be way too clever, for my taste. I like the HTML mode on this one, where it actually sticks in the HTML tag when you click the associated button, rather than trying to display the result of the tag in the editor. Like it's not trying to be for complete idiots. Still I'm not sure this kind of thing is necessary (can't people remember the tag for bold?) but I might give this one a try.
Drew Diller's blog: Fixing IE one band aid at a time. Impressive. I used his dd_roundies.js script recently to get rounded corners in an HTML document even in border-radius eschewing IE.
All I want for Christmas is a Fusion IO 320GB solid state PCI-E disk drive. The numbers here are just insane, with the Fusion IO crushing an 8 disk 15K.6 15,000 RPM SAS RAID 0 array on an Areca controller (which is itself a complete fantasy setup no one would ever run!) These new SSDs really change the game. Too bad the 80GB is $3000 and the 320GB is $14,400 with a 640GB card (drive?) on the way.
