My lovely wife bought me a Kindle for my birthday.  I've only had it for a day but so far I'm loving it.  It's easy to use, easy to read and easy to get content.  I think it's going to become a new fundamental part of my world.

Also of note is the open source meeting service Dimdim.  It's similar to Webex but is free and doesn't require participants to download / install any software (to host a meeting you must install a small add on).  It's not quite as feature rich as Webex but does include audio / video support, chat, a whiteboard and desktop sharing.  All in all a great tool too keep in your toolbox.

Another interesting development this week is Google's foray into the virtual worlds space.  Lively is no second life yet, load times are poor and features are weak but it's backed by the Google so it's worth keeping an eye on.
