While developing I really like a dedicated screen with all the drupal log messages. Working on mac or *nix creating a new terminal window and doing a tail -f on the log file would be really nice. So I can do a tail -f on the apache error.log but I want to show the drupal log that is shown in admin/reports/dblog Where can I find it and or is it possible to let it output to a terminal screen and if so how?

You can use drush to do this:
$ drush help | grep watchdog
watchdog-delete Delete watchdog messages.
watchdog-list Show available message types and severity levels. A
(wd-list) prompt will ask for a choice to show watchdog messages.
watchdog-show Show watchdog messages.
drush watchdog-show has too many options to fully show here, but these are the examples:
drush watchdog-show Show a listing of most recent 10
messages.
drush watchdog-show 64 Show in detail message with id 64.
drush watchdog-show "cron run succesful" Show a listing of most recent 10
messages containing the string "cron
run succesful".
drush watchdog-show --count=46 Show a listing of most recent 46
messages.
drush watchdog-show --severity=notice Show a listing of most recent 10
messages with a severity of notice.
drush watchdog-show --type=php Show a listing of most recent 10
messages of type php.
drush watchdog-tail Show a listing of most recent 10
messages and continue showing messages
as they are registered in the watchdog.

drush watchdog-show --tail --full --count=50is what I'm using now :)– FLYOct 24, 2012 at 13:03
You have to enable the Syslog module, and the log will be available in /var/log/drupal.log. For more information, you can read Syslog: OS-integrated logging.
