Xbox 360 Uses
For reviewing purposes, I also have an Xbox 360. It was a gift; exact specifications I am therefore less sure about, but it has plenty of storage space.

Processing Liked
I've dabbled in Processing, and thought it was awesome, but haven't had enough time to devote to doing anything significant with it so far.

Scrivener Liked
For assembling research for academic purposes, I like Scrivener. It keeps together a lot of odds and ends of information and makes it easier to go from a pile of quotes and references to a finished document.

BBEdit Liked
I frequently brainstorm on paper or in BBEdit. I also use BBEdit for composing reviews and articles, as much as I can get away with, and turn to Microsoft Word only when it's professionally necessary.

Inform Uses
Inform is the interactive fiction development system I've been helping to develop for the last few years. I use it on a near-daily basis both for my own work and to develop example material and do troubleshooting for other interactive fiction authors.

Sennheiser CX 300 II Liked
To go with that, a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II in-ear headphones. Cutting out the white noise makes a world of difference to how much I hate long flights.

Moleskine Loved
So, Moleskine: good paper, tough but flexible binding, an elastic band to keep the book shut in transit. I'm never going back.
