Homebrew — MacPorts driving you to drink? Try Homebrew!. I can only support the call. After using MacPorts for years, I have now switched to Homebrew on the Air, and it is much slimmer. And since it doesn't want to install half of the internet for every little package, you even have a realistic chance of installing the tools on the smaller disk of the Air. It's also nice that you can intervene in many places if you want to (since I am a programmer after all, it is quite a natural desire to sometimes do the configure yourself or something similar). By the way, the recipes are quite up-to-date, for example, Node.js is in the latest version, pypy is also, as well as Scala and Clojure. Fits well with my currently planned experiments.

persistence.js: An Asynchronous Javascript ORM for HTML5/Gears. Since you always want to save data at some point, here's a link to a client-side ORM library for JavaScript. It looks quite good and could perhaps also be used for the server side. (I found another link for this that explicitly supports Node.js with MySQL).
Express - node web framework. Great, if you want to quickly build small web services with Node.js. I think it fits well with Node.js installations and jQuery on the client side. At the moment, JavaScript is pushing into many niches where Python used to be at home. Not least because JavaScript is actually not such a bad language after all.
Socket.IO is a small JavaScript library that supports socket communication from the browser and can use various techniques, automatically selecting the best available one. This makes it work across different browsers and browser generations.
