Here another one for you nice people:

cds() {
    osascript -e 'on run pwd
set f to posix file pwd
tell app "Finder"
if number of Finder windows is 0 then
open f
else
set target of window 1 to f
end
end
end' "$PWD" > /dev/null
}

The opposite of cdf. Will open the the current Terminal path in the existing Finder window.

open . works too, but opens a new window.
