f.lux dims your monitor brightness during the evening and night. Just like your dashboard lights dim when you turn your headlights on. I would feel blinded when I'd come home and log in, and this really helped. It might help you sleep better, too. (Via Seth Roberts.)
Dropbox automatically syncs files between multiple computers. It also keeps a copy of everything in online storage. So, it solves the problem of storing to an always accessible location, while also keeping a second local copy in case the cloud goes down. While also creating a copy in a different location in case you have a fire. While also eliminating the need to email and thumb drive copies around to yourself. This is a freemium service.

Bloomberg embraces baseball via new baseball stats analysis. Seems a little like swatting flies with a brick, but as a baseball fan working in the financial industry, I have to like it. As a side-benefit, it keeps the financial modelers busy and not creating fancy new financial products that no one understands and threaten our economy. Then again, at the end of the article, one man claims that the Bloomberg product will destroy baseball.
