My current laptop is a 13" MacBook Air.
For listening and signaling that I'm busy in cafes, I have Sennheiser HD 280 headphones.
I use a Wacom Intuos3 tablet for drawing and sketching.
I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 for documents and keeping track of receipts.
For now, I'm using an LG-VX5600, which I'm kind of liking mostly for the lack of functionality.
For books, I have a Kindle.
I borrow my husband's iPod Nano.
I just picked up a set of Sony MDR-NC11 Fontopia noise canceling headphones for a long plane trip.
For a general purpose camera, I use a Canon Elph SD1200.
My digital SLR is a Nikon D40, with a variety of lenses.
And I get around on a Lemond Big Sky SLT, tricked out with red Chris King headset and hubs.
Communication
Productivity
For configuration management, I use Puppet.

Security
Coding & Development
I contribute to PostgreSQL, run conferences, and keep chickens.
I checkout a copy of the PostgreSQL repo from git.postgresql.org, and have most everything else on GitHub in public and private repos.
My default text editor is Vim, and keep my daily todo list as a text file in a git repo.
Media
Storage
Other
For Python projects, I start with virtualenv.
For deploying into AWS, I currently use cloud provisioner.
For sharing music, I still use OpenTape.
I'm also using the free version of a Mac pomodoro app for work sessions, and I like it a lot.
