"So she's good cop, he's bad cop, you're morally-questionable cop, and I'm set-things-on-fire cop."
"Sounds about right."

"WARNING: When attempting to be clever, make sure you not actually just being stupid."

"Did you remember to sacrifice the goat before burning the ISO to the DVD-R?"
"Crap! Um, I've got a charred piece of meat here."
"That's called a steak. That's dinner. What about the sacrifices?"
--------
"I escape through quantum-tunneling. What do I need to roll for that?"
--------
"Why is it called a 'Monkeylord'?"
"Because it looks like a spider."

Urban fantasy: War for the Oaks by Emma Bull. Anything by Bull, really.
Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch trilogy.
I'm not sure if Charlie Stross's Atrocity Archive counts as urban fantasy, but it's totally in eye-poking distance. I liked Toast (short stories) by him for cybertech etc. more, though.
Cybertech etc.: Axiomatic by Greg Egan, more short stories. Not his novels so much, but I hear his later ones are better.
When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger. It's not information tech, it's noir cyberpunk.
Almost anything: I am seriously digging the Ash four-book series by Mary Gentle right now, first book A Secret History. Yes, you must read them in order. 15th century female mercenary captain, interspersed with email between modern historians talking about her, starts off in the normal universe and then things start going weird about two-thirds through the first book.
Also Glen Cook's new series, first book Tyranny of the Night, politics, war, and spying in medieval Europe with the serial numbers filed off and more weirdshit. And if you haven't read any of his Black Company series you should.
