Are you applying for tenure, promotion or a new job? Do you want to include evidence of the impact of your research? Is your work cited in journals which are not ISI listed? Then you might want to try Publish or Perish, designed to help individual academics to present their case for research impact to its best advantage.

Running History of IT stuff
Always regretted not recording IT changes as they happened. Eg. When I started computing (around 1980) I sold the original IBM PC (twin Floppy at $8,000, with a 10MB HDD around $16,000) So have started a history page in my wiki.

Will troll over my old notes to see what I can add!

Death by PowerPoint (SlideShare)
Not that I agree with everything said (e.g. suits visual learners - of which I am one), but gives you something to think about/discuss.

SkyDrive (25GB free online storage)
Microsoft promised at the last presentation I went to lots of new stuff, particularly based on their "Cloud computing" framework.
So, here is another tool that will be useful, 25GB free online storage!
go to http://www.microsoft.com and if it doesn't show its called skydrive
If you have a live account (msn or hotmail) go to http://home.live.com/ and look for skydrive or if you dont have a microsoft passport go to the same url and create one. As far as I can tell you dont need a microsoft email (hotmail) account. I using my work one fine.
It allows others to access your folder. I am having trouble receiving zip files via email so this may be a way to get them to me.

Change removable storage icon
Was just playing around with my new USB Drive and realised you can create your own icon for Windows explorer.
1. Create an icon (duh!) - use Google to find an icon creator if you dont have one (e.g. GIMP or Paint.net with an addin) , and place in the root folder of your removable drive.
2. Create a text file (using notepad) called Autorun.inf (if there is already one it is likely to have an ico file setting already so all you need to do is change the ico file name).
The Autorun file only needs
Autorun.inf--------------------
[autorun]
icon = .\NameofIconFile.ico
-----------------------------
