My good friend Mur Lafferty can keep you all squared up against writer's block with her daily blog entries at the Murverse.
Basically:
Mondays: character sketches
Tuesdays: settings
Wednesdays: maguffins
Thursdays: scenes
Fridays: general ideas
Saturdays: first sentences
Sundays: anything goes
I suggest the podcast I Should Be Writing as well to those of you who need something other than music to break up your normal inspiratory tracks.

You've got Google listed there, but I'd also suggest Good Search: http://www.goodsearch.com/Basically just another search engine (powered by Yahoo, if I remember correctly), but this one allows you to enter the name of a charity, then donates money for each search. So if you're doing a bunch of searches, you might as well use this instead of Google and help someone else out along the way.

I was just about to mention Write or Die.
Surpised it took that long. XD
Unsure how many of these have been posted...
Word Processors
- OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org
- AbiWord Word Processor: http://www.abisource.com/
- Q10: http://www.baara.com/Q10
Names
- Hippie Names
- Fantasy Name Generator
- BehindtheName
Script Frenzy!'s Plot Machine comes up with some pretty good plot ideas.
Fantasy Novelist's Exam is super helpful.
Fantasy World Building is good too, 'specially if you failed the exam. XD
And if I could be so kind as to toot my own horn here for a second...
NaNoWriMo Cookbook, which features our own radioactive alchemist AND some pretty awesome recipes if you're too tired/too lazy/too far behind on your word count to actually slave over a meal. 8D
I second the NaNo forums. A lot of help can be found there. If you're ever in the area, feel free to pop by my profile (my username's DM) and add me to your writing buddy list. ^.^
And I second GoodSearch. I search for Spirit Communications (owners of one of my favourite stations), and The Office of Letters and Light.

You can also read about each trope, which can give you ideas on what to write. It's deffiantly a site worth checking out while formulating your ideas. It'll change the way you think about stories.

The Happy Notes - Daily Inspirations For WritersIt is my blog (so this is partly shameless self-plugging) and every day, I post a random picture, suggested listening, a prompt, a quote, and a little blurb meant to keep you a happy, healthy, sane writer. The sole purpose of The Happy Notes is to help, so I hope it does.

Duotrope Digest should be on every link list ever created for writers. It's basically a search engine of genre-specific e-publishers and print publishers - it includes information on what they're looking for in terms of submission length, how much the payout is (the range is from no payment to professional payment, which is about $0.05 per word) and when the deadline for submission is. There's also a poetry search engine for the poets out there who are looking for a place to print. And even if you don't get paid, a publishing credit is a publishing credit.
