And I can't imagine my life without the Apple Keyboard (full-size, please--I like my big arrow keys and number pad).
I listen to music all day using the first version of the Bose Companion 3 speaker system.
Most of my footage and archived photo content is on a second-gen FW800 Drobo, currently filled with 3 1TB drives.
My apartment is blanketed in wireless thanks to two Airport Extremes (the 802.11n model)--one in the office and one in the living room behind the TV--running a WDS network.
I record the podcast and other audio using a Digidesign Mbox 2, which loves to occasionally throw kernel panics.
We shoot the sketch show and short films on a Panasonic HVX-200A HD camera (which records to solid-state P2 media), and when shooting short films use a Cinevate 35mm lens adapter.
I shoot quick little videos with my Nikon D90.
Oh, and I've always got my 16GB iPhone 3G with me.
Communication
I check Twitter with Twitterrific (probably too much).
My site uses Tumblr, which I absolutely love.
Productivity
I use NewsFire for feed reading (which I have managed to cut down in the past few years).
