Web-Based Password Managers
I mentioned the open source KeePass password manager the other day, but apparently there are a number of web-based password managers, including PassPack,and Clipperz. Clipperz also has an open source version of its software that you can download and then install on your own server.
I still think it’s easier and probably more secure just to use KeePass and keep the master password database on an FTP server so you can access it anywhere. Put the URL in your browser and KeePad will load it.

LifeHack.Org on ‘12 Hours to Better Time Management’
Dustin Wax’s 12 Hours to Better Time Management is a horrible title for a guide to personal productivity (it sounds like something Billy Mays will soon be selling), but this is one of the few personal productivity posts that I’ve gotten a lot of value out of.
Unlike a lot of personal productivity stuff on the web, this is a straightforward “do this, then this” checklist to set up your. calendar password system, and checklists. And doing this will probably take you more like 2-3 hours rather than 12 and wouldn’t have to be done all at once. A very nice resource of things you might otherwise forget.

Rat Bat Spider
The excellent kaiju action figure site Omni-Monster has some excellent shots of a Rat Bat Spider figure. This is a monster that appeared in the 1959 film The Angry Red Planet. This is a fairly rare figure that usually goes > $200 on eBay. I’m very jealous right now.
