There is so much new stuff being brought out right now, everything from Google Wave to some very interesting ubunet ubuntu karmic integrations. What is interesting is how costly the first iteration of any idea is, it seems that before an idea is really solid or cohesive you need to spend a lot of time just thinking about what your trying to achieve. This includes a lot of pondering, staring into blank spaces and coding stuff that may never be used, over and over again.
