Tyler, morning coffee rocks... Chad, I am really thinking about taking my team through a project with those tools soon. Brad, iMovie all the way. Call me a rookie. Josh, That is is secret. Check back for the answer soon.

Um...call me a minimalist, but here's my "list."
-Dell Inspiron 5100, cerca 2003. It cusses at me occasionally. -Firefox. -MS Word. -MS Paint. -Gmail and Blogger. -Audacity. -Local coffee or my own concoction. Heavenly. -My mind?
I'll call this the "post-undergrad poor kid's kit." Although I'm far from impoverished, I don't quite have the funds to upgrade at this point without making monthly payments for like 23 years. :)
Now if I had my choice, I'd have a Macbook and Adobe Creative Suite. And a digital Canon Rebel XT.

Great post, Los, and a great post idea. Here's my response:
I'll have to think about my list some, but just in case I don't make it back, I want to second Alastair all the way. Used CuteFTP for years, but FireFTP is just so handy.

Los, if you're using Firefox, FireFTP runs circles around CuteFTP. For my money, anyway.
Oh, the biggest tool I've picked up recently is Thunderbird IMAP'ed to GMail. That way, the two are synced up, rather than just downloading one from the other.

As I am looking at these lists, I recofgnize a few. I would have to say that my toolbox is pretty empty or I don't know what the tools are. :-) The Basics!

I keep a Tide Stain Stick in at the sound desk, it has come in super handy when the speaker has a smudge on his shirt.
also Measure IT is a fantastic plugin for firefox...makes quick work of getting things the right size.
Dude- So WriteRoom takes the cake. I had it an hour and it got me to blog my ATL trip, focus on school, made me a sandwich. You've fixed my life, Los...
