Tools for managing your work:

Dropbox:
Sync your files between computers. Dropbox stores your files on an external site (2G for free; you can pay for more space), and you can access them from any computer that can open a website, or you can sync them between computers by installing the Dropbox software. This site makes an excellent backup for your files–including those papers that you don’t want to lose!

SpiderOak:
Same deal as Dropbox, but with better security.

Zotero:
Organize your citations. Zotero senses content as you’re browsing (for example, in a database or on a web page) and snags citation information for you. You can use it to take notes on your sources and connect to your word processor for citing. Designed to work as a Firefox plugin, Zotero is available (in beta) as a standalone product, with available “connectors” for Chrome and Safari.
