Leap Motion

This is a really cool motion tracking tool.  At $70 a pop, I think this might save the PC:

Take a few minutes and watch this video.

Paving My Computer - Love NiNite

I had to install all of my tools on my desktop and a new laptop. I did it in this order:
Windows Update (900MB of updates)
Visual Studio 2010 (I removed the SQL Server 2008 Express instance from the custom screen.)
VS 2010 SP1
Web Platform Installer (to get MVC and all the other stuff)
SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition
Resharper
Telerik

And then I used NiNite to install a TON OF SOFTWARE in about 5 minutes. It installed:
Skype
Hulu
WinDirStat
VLC
VNC
DropBox
Evernote
Tortoise
WinMerge
7Zip
Chrome
FireFox
NotePad++
 Eclipse

 Anyway, NiNite is freakin’ cool. Hope you find it as useful as I did.
