Need a Nikon 10-pin motordrive cable for a pocket wizard? Buy a used nikon 10-pin remote. ($12 for a "nonfunctional" from KEH) Buy a stereo miniphone male connector from Radioshack ($4/2). Cut housing, cut off everything but the purple, white and yellow wires. Strip those. Solder Yellow to plug case, white and purple to plug tip. You just saved $74.

This is probably the most helpful website I found for people like me who know nothing about using a DSLR. Its extremely idiot proof.

Best thing to ever happen to my workflow is PS actions.

http://blog.epicedits.com/2008/03/07/how-to-create-photoshop-actions/

One I use everyday is one I made to create web thumbnails for my clients galleries. Combine this with a script to do the upload and the whole procedure takes one click and a coffee break.

Really good skin retouch filter procedure.
