I love technology. I love gadgets. That probably isn’t a surprise if you’ve read my entry about my new toy. But, no, I don’t go crazy shopping all the time for the latest stuff. So, nope – I’m not off to buy an iPhone yet – I don’t even have a Blackberry or Treo. My current tech lusts are: a coloured laser printer and a digital SLR. I’m sure I have a few others, but I tend to get focused on just one or two things at a time. 
And, other than hardware, I love testing various software and web applications too – especially if I feel that they’d contribute something to my work. Currently, I’m having to learn the powers of my MacBook, so my area of concentration is all things Mac. But, of course, I use cross-platform stuff like Google Apps (Docs & Spreadsheets, Gmail, etc).
What about you? What are tools that help you with your online money making ventures? Why do you love them so? If you can list a Top 5 Tools for Online Money Making, what would be included in your list?

Ooh I like this version of Open Mic Mondays the most!
Here it goes:
1. My whiteboard which I’m going to replace with a bigger one soon – GTD tool.
2. My N73, for texting clients and checking email while away from my PC.
3. My Lipitor timer-looking desk clock for timing my breaktime surfing, blog reading, or Scrabble-ing time.
4. My Casio pocket calculator for billable hours computation and currency conversion brain-breaks (my euphemism for my laziness to compute).
5. And of course, BlogDesk for less-stressful multiple blogging experience.
Are you using a desktop publishing app, Shai?
Thanks, Alfa. Your list looks good!
I’m not really a big desktop publishing app user. Although I HAVE tried so many. Practically every single app I know of – Qumana, BlogDesk, wbloggar, Flock, etc. But, I keep going back to the Dashboard.
I think partly because none of them come up with a useful WYSIWYG format that can easily go to HTML coding – without messing things up.
Having said that, I recently started using Ecto. It’s good. But, again, there’s that mess up problem. So, I still tend to go to the Dashboard.
