Evernote is a useful program for sharing information across multiple devices. |
| I use this to make lists I can take with me. For example, on a PC where entry is easier, I'll create a shopping or packing list. Then when I get to the store, I pull out my Blackberry and use that list. Great tool, and for now, it's free (well, it has pay options as well for power users). |

DropBox - take your files anywhere |
| I find myself carrying a lot of things on a USB drive, but some clients block their usage. Dropbox is a convenient place to store files, and integrate into my iPad so I can can read pdf files since I can't load them directly on the device without connecting to my PC. I use this service a LOT and highly recommend it. |

Code Snippet Editor |
| This is a great free tool for creating your own code snippets. While I am a big CodeSmith fan, I find the ActiveSnippets to be a little tougher to use. Within minutes, I had generated a snippet for wrapping my error handling with this neat tool. |

Evernote -- make and take notes everywhere |
| I use OneNote.. a lot. However, it's not as portable as I like. Evernote allows me to make notes and sync them easily between multiple machines as well as my Blackberry. |

Open DB Diff -- Open source database comparison tool |
| It's still in beta, but if you need a quick tool for a database comparison and can't afford Red Gate's tool, this will do nicely. |

Open source database compare tool |
| It looks newly released, and it's pretty impressive. I normally use Red Gate's SQLCompare, but this is a decent poor man's version of a SQL compare tool. Not as pretty as Red Gate's, but it will do in a pinch. |
