ASP.NET Web Matrix, Reloaded.  The latest version (0.6) of the ASP.NET Web Matrix has been unleashed from Microsoft.  It is described as: ASP.NET Web Matrix is a community-supported, easy-to-use WYSIWYG application development tool for ASP.NET. It can be installed via a quick 1.3 MB download (about 5 minutes using a 56Kb modem). New features include: Access database support, J# support, design time enhancements including improved table editing and user-control rendering, many bug fixes, and much more! Best of all? It's absolutely free! 

This is a great developer tool to build ASP.NET applications.  It isn't Visual Studio .NET so don't expect all the great stuff in VS.NET like Intellisense, Server Explorer, etc.  But it is a good tool to use if you are learning ASP.NET or on a budget.  It is easy to install and you can get up and running quickly.

Inkblog and the B-52's.  David Weller mentions the B-52's.  I really love the B-52's.  I remember my first Saturday Night Live and they were the musical guest.  I thought they were crazy and loved how they were not the typical band.  I started out with their Cosmic Thing (you know "Love Shack Baby!") and really got into them later with Time Capsule.  About 4 years ago Microsoft actually had them perform at an internal conference which I was front row for.  Also, I went to see them last year at the Chateau St. Michelle Winery and they rocked!  So David Weller has upped his cool factor by a couple points.
