Android VM crashing on launch
After upgrading to Android 4.2 I started to encounter an issue where the emulator crashed upon launching which strangely only seemed to occur if I launched the avd/vm on a secondary screen the last time I tried to launch it.
After doing some poking about, I traced the issue down to the avd config file for the vm which you can get to using the below commands:
In the config file you might see the property window.x having some value such as 2054 which is where the emulator was last positioned on the x axis on the second screen. Change the value to something such as 600.
Save the config file, start Eclipse, and fire up your avd/vm and all should run well.

Speed Up a Slow Terminal by Clearing Log Files
Mac OS X’s Terminal.app can become slow to launch over time, but there’s an easy solution to speed it up again.
By deleting the Apple System Logs, you can shave the lag in opening and launching new Terminal windows/tabs dramatically, in my case from about a three second delay to instantaneous!
