Steve Rubel, over at Micro Persuasion, has a nice list of useful bookmarklets. Check it out, and share any addional ones you use with the rest of the readers here.
Bookmarklets
<!-- Intro -->
Bookmarklets are simple little programs that you can integrate into your browser to make your coding, debugging and researching lives a whole lot easier. Best of all, they're easy to use and modify for your own use.

Bookmarklets Explained
Bookmarklets are a type of tiny, powerful, very clever program, written in JavaScript and added to your browser as the URL of a bookmark. “Bookmarks” (Firefox/Safari) and “Favorites” (Internet Explorer) are equivalent, and most bookmarklets will work in either browser, and across platforms. You just click the bookmarklet, and it can apply filters to the page you're viewing, open prompts for searches, or a host of other helpful features. They look like normal links but are in fact dynamic scripts that can perform different tasks depending on what page you're visiting, what text you have highlighted, etc.
Browser Compatibility Note:
Some of the following bookmarklets will not work in certain browsers. The best thing to do is to test them by clicking their links on the page here before adding them to your bookmarks folder.
How they Work
First, your browser will have to be IE5+, Firefox, Safari or Opera 5+. Then, you need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Then just add these links as favorites like you would any other. You can even add them to your Internet Explorer Links bar or Netscape Personal Bar for immediate access to the most useful ones. You may get a security alert when 'installing' the scripts, but don't worry, these are all perfectly » safe to use and do not change any settings on your computer.
Once they're added you can use them straight away — just click their name in your bookmarks menu and the script will run.
Let's see them
Ok, I've organised these under headings; bookmarklets can help in a range of tasks. Remember, just click and drag any of the bookmarklet links below into your bookmarks menu.

FWIW, the "Go Wayback" bookmarklet is one of my favorites. Very handy for 404's.
