Billed as a gaming mouse but makes my programming easier, too.

This high performance mouse is extremely sensitive and accurate and I no longer get frustrated trying to get my Dell optical mouse to move the cursor to the right place on the screen.

If I set the Razer mouse to the highest accelleration (under Linux), I can accurately get the cursor to any spot on my 3200x1200 screen (2 displays) by physically moving the mouse less than an inch. Though I don't work in that mode, it shows how accurately the mouse senses movement across a surface.

Warning: It claims to have 7 buttons, but numbers 4-7 are absurdly placed and you should not expect to use them. (via Woot)

Canon Powershot SD400 5MP Digital Elph Camera

First to recommend

14 people recommended this item

Description

Small, flat size fits easily into a pocket. Advanced Canon quality features and a fairly fast response time.

The SD400 model is smaller than the SD500, and has the same processing, so if you can get away with "only" 5 megapixels, it's a better choice.

Canon Soft Leather Case for Canon Digital ELPH Cameras

First to recommend

Description

My favorite leather cover for the Canon SD450 (and probably other small cameras). It won't protect a camera from a fall, but it's made of very soft leather, is not bulky like other cases, and still protects from scratches.

I don't know if it's still available anywhere.

Kamenstein 4536 Perfect Tear Paper Towel Holder, Stainless Steel

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

An amazing feat of engineering. Easy to slide on a new roll of paper towels. No unwanted unrolling. Heavy base so it can be operated with one hand. Just the right amount of tension to allow you to pull out a new towel and to allow you to rip it off easily.

Sabrent IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter

First to recommend

Description

This adapter is perfect if you want to access the information on old IDE hard drives you have sitting around. It's also decent for using a new, loose IDE hard drive as a way to transfer large amounts of data between two computers. Best of all, it was plug and play on Ubuntu Linux.

Sabrent SATA to USB 2.0 Cable Converter

First to recommend

Description

This cable lets me access my internal SATA disk drives by plugging them into a USB port (instead of shutting down the computer, opening it up, installing a drive, closing it up, and booting).

Dyson Vacuum

First to recommend

6 people recommended this item

Description

Ian raved so much about this vacuum cleaner I had to purchase one, and have not been disappointed. Dyson's customer support was very helpful in sending out a part that had failed (free) (twice) and it has worked solidly for over a year since.

The suction is all it is claimed to be and you never have to replace bags. Emptying into a garbage bag is surprisingly easy once you find the right levers to pull. (via Ian)

Earhugger Y Adapter For Stereo Headphones

First to recommend

Description

Use this to share a single audio out on your computer between your computer speakers and your headphones.

You end up playing audio through your headphones even when you're listening to the speakers, but at least you don't have to go behind the computer to unplug and replug wires every time you want to switch.

Note: Because you're splitting it, you will get a bit less volume out of the speakers as the same audio signal is driving both the speakers and the headphones.

Warning: Make sure you turn the speakers OFF before you crank up the volume with your headphones on. Your co-workers will thank you (though I guess you won't be able to hear them with your headphones on).
