Here is a comparison of TextMate and Vim. I haven't read it yet, but it looks interesting.
Open Command Window Here
Get the "Open Command Window Here" app from Microsoft's site. (Along with some other useful "powertoys"). Lets you right-click on a folder in Windows Explorer to open a DOS command prompt in that directory.

Best tips that no one seems to know about?
Some interesting (mainly) Windows tips from the Joel on Software forums.
cool for vi users
Enable vi ksh command line editing - Tech-Recipes.com: "To enable vi editing, type the following command or place it in your .kshrc file:
set -o vi
Then you can use vi commands. Press escape to enter vi command mode then you have access to many vi commands. For example, k will move up through previous commands in the history, /tail will search for the most recent command containing the word tail and pressing n will find the next occurence of that search term.
Once you have found a command that you want to repeat, just press ENTER and it will be run again. You can edit the command with R to replace characters from your current position, x to delete the current character, i to insert characters before the current character, a append characters after the current character, and $ to move to the end of the command."

Digital Workflow in 20 Easy Steps
Here's a PCPhoto article from last year laying out a workflow for managing, post-processing and printing your digital photos. It goes a bit overboard for my taste, but it's pretty good guide in general.

Here are a couple of interesting JavaScript Articles I came across.
The first one from Digital Web Magazine discusses scope in JavaScript.
The second one from SitePoint discusses eliminating async javascript callbacks in AJAX.
