You ship your CDs to Ripshark and they convert them to MP3. The VIP Rip covers about 450 CDs of music.

FeedDemon is an award-winning newsreader for Windows.

Basecamp is the much lauded online project management app that has been called "the iPod of project management".

Surowiecki writes the a financial column for the New Yorker, one of my favorite features in the magazine.

Each month, you'll receive a signed limited edition 5x7 print of one of Heather's photographs.

Eastgate is serious about hypertext, but recognizes the need for other methods of storing data and telling stories. The handmade Italian journals they sell are absolutely gorgeous.

Gladwell is a staff writer for the New Yorker and wrote two little books called The Tipping Point and Blink. You may have heard me mention them and him on the site from time to time (or all the time, rather).

My friends Tamara and Julie make soaps and other bath and beauty products. My favorite is the Oatmeal & Honey soap.

Marshall's work has been featured on The Morning News and File Magazine sites. The print features a photo from Marshall's upcoming gallery show.

If you're looking for web hosting, Textdrive "is a hosting company run by and for people who love publishing on the web". Did I mention *for life*?
