Firebug 1.7.0 - It's out. It's good. Get it.
Mozilla Firefox 4 Release Candidate for Android and Maemo Now Available - Working way better than the last time I looked at it, this may finally be good enough to become my default Android browser. The main great feature for me is synching history with my desktop browser.
Whoosh - OS X desktop interface to Amazon SES mail service.
Ingredients - Pretty looking documentation viewer for Cocoa. Not that I'm doing any Cocoa development right now.
blueprint - Reverse engineer a running server to Puppet or Chef recipes.
HTML 5 JSON Report format - Javascript to make any JSON human-readable and reasonably pretty

Jdrop - JSON in the cloud - This looks very useful for debugging HTML and related issues on mobile devices - a task I suspect is in my not too distant future.
What are App Tabs? - One of the nice new features of Firefox 4, that's what. I've been on nightlies for a while, and though it still has some js-related crashes, overall I'm enjoying the new version.

Node.js 0.4 released - Here are the changes from 0.2
