Fonts for programming with

Here's a great monospaced font to use in your programming editor. It has well-distinguished l's from 1's (l1), slashed 0's (0O), and very clear ;'s (;:)

Download the bitmap font file, since these aren't the kind of fonts that are meant to scale.

Other fonts for programming:

Andale Mono
Lucida Console
FixedSys
Proggy
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (very good for a system font)

Which fonts do you use?

Tiny USB Keys

I made a pilgrimage to Fry's here in Austin in search of a wireless card and some quiet fans. There, stacked in a corner away from all the other USB key drives was the Intelligent Stick. Hands down the tiniest USB Key drive I have ever seen. Literally, its the size of a regular usb plug. *Geek Lust*. There's a nice review at The Gadgeteer.
