A lot of companies will give you free samples of parts. I have a bunch of PICs and a MEMS accelerometer at home that I got just by asking. Some sites even have a sample parts form you can fill out. As a hobbyist, you generally only need one-off parts, so it's a great way to keep your costs down, especially for more expensive bits like sensors and MCUs.

I'm being asked to use an Intel Atom processor to do the job of a microcontroller for political reasons. Anyone know any boards that have an atom on them and have some analog I/O, smaller than 6"x6" or so?

does anyone have a preferred supplier for a M-F extension cable? Monoprice is usually my go-to supplier, but they don't seem to have anything that fits the bill this time.

https://www.cablewholesale.com has been solid in my experience.
