Could it be my camera strap? I like fancy straps, I figure I'm going to take my camera everywhere, so it may as well have a little charm to it.
But other than that, my grandfathers old flash is starting to grow on me.

For me the cable release comes before tripod, one of the interesitng things about the X100 is that it takes a "Standard" cable release, very cool IMHO. When I shoot film I reach for them a lot more often than a tripod. While I love my table tops I seem to not like carrying them around all day for night time stuff.
I think there is a market for a line of tripods modeled after a TR-1 (Minolta) or Leitz Table Top and head(s) scaled down for some of the different EVF and P&S cameras out there. I would like to get one for my GRD to stick in a small bag.
Another item I would like is a medium sized flash that works with digital cameras. Seems all people want to build these days are big units. Where have the designers of the T-32 (OM system flash) or the Vivitar 192 and 253 gone. Off camera, slaved to the on camera unit or connected via cable. I would carry one if they made it.

I have a tiny Leica mini tripod for a pocket digital. The ball head is nice and stiff, non-adjustable and minimal range of movement, but it is sometimes just the thing.

I shoot at night a lot, so a good flashlight (torch, in the UK) is my favorite accessory. A few years back, I splurged on a Surefire Aviator. It cost about $200, so I'm careful not to lose it. You push the button in just so far and you get red light, ideal for looking around for that negative you dropped on the darkroom floor, or adjusting the settings on your camera without destroying your night vision. If anyone looks like they're going to bother you, push the button all the way in for bright white light that is guaranteed to fry the retinas of any interloper and give you enough time to run away.

My favorite accessory is the small mirror I carry in my bag. Weird or not, I often flashing it in to some strangers face to make him turn to me and that's when I shoot 
Sometimes work ...
