Best Chess Resources? (Software, Websites, Books, etc.)

I've come close to my 1-year mark of playing chess (mostly here at Chess.com - Yay!    I love this site!!!!). 

Still a relative newbie, however, and wondering what the next step could be for learning more about chess, developing a more serious game, and having tools for improvement. 

In particular, can you guys give me some suggestions of the top chess resources I can look to for use: 

Books

DVD's

Software

Websites (other than Chess.com, of course )

***And anything else you can think of!

Thanks so very much!  And best of luck to you guys in your games!!!

lol,yep brain is the best resource

Since you've already had a pleasant experience playing on this site, why not explore the educational resources available here with a diamond membership?  You want books?  ChessMentor is essentially one giant interactive book.  You want DVD?  All kinds of video here; a lot of members (including myself) would pay just for IM Danny Rensch's live sessions.  You want software?  The opening explorer gives access to a decent database without the steep learning curve.  Best $100 I spend all year.
