I was recently setting up a new, always-on machine that I do occasional dev work.

If you're using git on Ubuntu, the version distributed via apt may not be the newest version of git (I use git to deploy changes on all of the sites I manage).

I use mod_pagespeed on this server to help speed up asset delivery and force optimization best practices across all of the sites I host.

I use a responsive grid system for this site (and a number of other projects) that's generated by pulling in Thoughtbot's Neat framework.

I've started using a command line tool called mackup to back up and sync many of my dot files and application settings on OS X.

A few weeks ago I switched from Fever. to Feedbin. I had been using Fever on a shared hosting account and, over the long term, was proving to be slower than I had expected it to be.

I recently began a process of re-evaluating the web services I use, the companies that provide them and an evaluation of where I store important data. I had used Google services extensively with Gmail handling my email, my contacts synced through Google contacts, calendars in Google calendar and documents in a Google Drive (I had used Google Reader extensively but switched to a Fever installation following Reader's demise).
