I'll try to keep this list short. Some of these I get paid for. Some I don't. I will not recommend anything here JUST to make money. I truly believe that everything listed below can make your life better (if it is appropriate for you).
Business
- Micro Continuity
- This is possibly the simplest way to start making money online.
- DomainMavenStore.com
- Register a domain name with free basic hosting (good enough for 90% of sites).
- WestHost
- For when you outgrow the basic godaddy hosting. When (or probably before) you outgrow WestHost's Business plan ($12/mo) you should retain or hire a professional webmaster (which is different from a web designer) to manage your sites for you.
Education
- Western Governors University
- My soon-to-be alma mater. Check out this hilarious video.
- Matthew Evans Schneider Scholarship
- Donations are welcome.
Programming
- Python
- my programming language of choice
- Vim
- my editor of choice
- Code Complete
- Required reading for anyone involved in creating software. Buy from Amazon.com
