As someone who is heavily involed in technology I am often asked what products and services I use for various things. I've compiled this page of things I use every day. It is ever changing and ever expanding.

Drupal

Drupal is a free and open source Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. It is used as a back-end system for many different types of websites, ranging from small personal blogs to Enterprise 2.0 collaboration and knowledge management uses to large corporate and political sites.

I use Drupal for just about every web project I persue. It's extremly flexible, powerful and wildy used. Drupal was recently used to power the new whitehouse.gov website. I've used it to build both vermontbiz.com and nextupvt.com.

Squarespace

I've been using Squarespace as a platform for my personal website for well over a year now. It's extremly flexible, reliable, fast and saves me a lot of time. Squarespace is a CMS like Drupal but it's hosted, it's not quite as powerful as Drupal but it's easy to use and very elegant. I recommend it to anyone with little web experience who needs a beautiful website fast. It powers fairly prominent websites such as kevinrose.com, alexalbrecht.com, totallyradshow.com, and the very well known jeffcannata.com

Apple Computers

I've been an on again off again Apple user since I was a kid. My first Apple computer was a Macintosh Performa. I'm not into Apple computers because of their hardware, while it is beautiful, I enjoy using them because of Mac OS X. I used to own a home built Hackintosh but I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro and I love it. It's actually one of the best computers I have owned period.

Revision3 & TWIT

I watched TechTV for years, at least until it was consumed by the beast that is G4. There were a dark months where I had no where to turn for my tech programming, but Revision3 and and This Week in Tech arrose from the ashes that were TechTV. Some of my favorite shows on these networks are Diggnation, Tekzilla, The Totally Rad Show, This Week in Tech, MacBreak Weekly, and Windows Weekly.

Revision3 is a San Francisco based Internet television network that creates, produces and distributes web television shows on niche topics.

TWiT.tv, which is the operating trade name of TWiT LLC, is a podcast (though TWiT uses the term netcast) network run by technology broadcaster and author Leo Laporte.

Dropbox

Dropbox is an amazing service. If you use more than one computer, or even if you don't you should be using Dropbox. Basically, Dropbox is an online storage/file syncing service that allows you to keep your files in one central location and access them from any computer either via their multi-platform client or using their extremely slick web interface. Since your files are stored securly on the cloud you also don't have to worry about loosing them if your hard drive fails. Dropbox has a great team, and they are constantly adding new features.

Microsoft Security Essentials

If you use Windows it is pretty much imperative that you run some kind of antivirus/anti-malware software. In the past there has been some decent free solutions such as AVG Free and Avast! but Microsoft has finally released there own free solution called Microsoft Security Essentials. It's lean, clean, and works. I recently used it to clean off about thirty to fifty virus badies from a co-workers computer and it worked like a charm.

Hulu

As I said before most of the content I watch comes in the form of video and audio podcasts. However, when I do need my TV fix I watch it on Hulu. Hulu is an amazing free online TV streaming service. It is owned by the three big networks NBC, ABC, and FOX so they have plenty of content. It can be a little frustrating at times because they don't always offer all of the content for a particular show, but Hulu certainly does help cut back on my Torrenting activities.
