Google Books makes me happy: A Guide to the Jerusalem Talmud with a very interesting chapter on Manuscripts of the Jerusalem Talmud, which helped me get some work-related things clear in my head without overmuch pain or panic.

The Open Siddur Project also makes me happy, with their release of a free package of Hebrew fonts, including a Rashi script one.

Hebrew Books makes me happy, of course, with its enormous library of (surprise) Hebrew books - rabbinic literature - with a pretty good search function. Oh Hebrew OCR, you have come a long way.

The online Bar-Ilan makes me pretty happy, too; the search format is somewhat less convenient and flexible than the CD version, but a year's access is $50, compared to the $600 cost of buying it new or the $350 cost of getting an upgrade to the version I presently possess which doesn't work on Windows 7.

This was cool too - story about a chap who did for Tibetan Buddhist literature what Hebrewbooks is doing for Jewish literature, only far more dramatically. Definitely worth a read.
