This little doohickey is the coolest thing ever:
IPMI v2.0 and KVM over IP for around $100. Sure, “remote management” cards have been available from enterprise server vendors forever, but being able to get this functionality on commodity hardware for a measly C-Note is very new.

GrandCentral was purchased by Google a few weeks back, which makes me happy because they are certain to be around for a while. Given Google’s glacial pace in launching paid services I expect that GrandCentral will remain free for quite a while.

Our VMware ESX server has been a Godsend, allowing my department to rapidly test things without having to obtain and prep hardware, but sometimes we really do need a physical box to work with.
