For me it's my family, a good job, and to be alive in an exciting golden age of technology.

I am thankful to the people who make the free software that I enjoy using. Off the top of my head: NetBSD, Firefox, Mame, Vim, FLAC, Lame, MPD, Scrot/FEH, Ratpoison, and Scrypt.

Unit tests so I can sleep at night.

Do you think that programmers who don't do unit tests are crappy programmers?

Due to not being able to sleep?

microprocessors, the C programming language, the government for giving me money to go to college where I otherwise wouldn't have been able to go.

Nice friends from my hometown! I've been working abroad the past eight months, and they've been loving enough to keep in touch with me every once in a while.

Before I go to sleep, I run through what I did the whole day and be thankful for everything. That I'm alive, that I had a hot shower, that I have a heater, I have to eat. This also help me remember what I did the whole day and evaluate everything in a positive manner. The whole thing take me like 5min and it changed my life since I started doing it. It doesn't matter whether you believe in god or not, being thankful will make a difference in your life. Try it :)
