Techie things I like

This is just a fun post, in thinking about technologies I like. Not comprehensive, just what I thought of at the time I was writing it.

• Ubuntu/linux - recently saved butt yet again, thus the first thing I thought of
• Boo – excellent book from Ayende
• RavenDB – excellent document database
• nosql & sql – yes both; each has its use
• YAML
• HAML
• Spark
• json
• MVC
• Unit testing, TDD, BDD
• Ruby & Ruby on Rails
• Macbook Pro
• VMWare
• Android OS
• git
• TekPub
• keyboard shortcuts aka hotkeys
• vim
• jquery
• github & unfuddle
• passenger
• capistrano
• clicky
• chrome browser
• SharpDevelop, MonoDevelop
• Mono
• GMail, GDocs, & Google Reader
• TestDriven.Net
• Disqus

I’m sure I could think of more, but those were the first to pop into my head. I’d recommend each of them.
