Here are a few products I've found useful.

WebFaction Hosting
I use these guys for all of my personal and professional projects, including Anywhere.FM. They make it insanely easy and cheap for you to setup whatever tools you'd ever want, even if you don't know Unix. I've personally used PHP, Rails, Python, TurboGears, Static HTML, MySQL, Trac, and Subversion with no problems. They let you install an unlimited number of applications and websites and give you SSH access if you want it, all for only $7.50 / month!

Powerful Laptops
Laptops are so powerful these days, I prefer doing all of my development on my Macbook Pro. I hook it up to a 30 inch display when I'm at work and I feel like I'm on a powerful desktop. Since it's running on intel, I get to develop, test, and run on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux, thanks to Parallels Desktop. I can't imagine a better setup.

Huge Displays
Having a lot of screen real estate is so essential and pays for itself immediately thanks to increased productivity. I used to prefer having dual-23 inch lcds, but I now favor my 30 inch Apple Cinema Display with my 17 inch Macbook Pro.

High-tech Cell Phones
I can't imagine going out without being able to check my email constantly or being able to access the web on demand. This is really a requirement if you plan on doing a startup, but its also extremely convenient for when you want to look up places to eat or directions to a destination when you're out and about. I personally love the iPhone.

Cheap DRM-Free Music
Cheap music, DRM-free. This stuff works perfectly with Anywhere.FM!

Everything Else
The most convenient place to buy almost anything!

Anywhere.FM was built using Flash 9 / Flex 2 / ActionScript 3, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Apache, MySQL, Objective-C, and C++
