I’ve been reading the PassPack blog with growing fascination. PassPack is an online password manager.
Until now personal password management has takent two approaches:

Use a handful of passwords over and over again on multiple sites. A lot of users do this since it’s the only way to keep all your passwords in your head. […]

Hilarious take on the Hipster PDA

The Apple iTunes store is offering episodes of Gay, Straight or Taken for download but only for residents of the US. Bummer. Of course, everyone else will watch it on YouTube which kind of highlights the whole DRM dilemma, doesn’t it?

Joe. My. God. has a funny story. Follow the link to read the whole thing….
“An attractive young white guy and a stunning Asian girl are seated next to me. As I’m eating my lunch and scanning the Times, they converse animatedly in Japanese. As always, I am startled to hear an apparent Westerner speaking […]

Rands has a great essay on how to handle the first 90 days of a new job, or “finishing the interview” as he calls it. I particularly agree with his advice to accept every invitation to lunch that you receive during this time. Nothing helps more in making the transition from ‘new guy’ […]

Find your dancing type when you let loose on a Saturday night. Sadly I think I fall into the “Ringin The Church Bells” camp…. No matter. Dance as tho nobody’s looking (ie: make sure you have enough to drink first) etcetera

franticindustries:
“Many of the top searches, like ‘bebo’, ‘ebay’, ‘yahoo’, ‘amazon’, ‘myspace’, ‘facebook’, aren’t really searches at all - these terms are mostly written by users who know exactly which page they want, but they’ve gotten used to using Google instead of the address bar. If you’re still not convinced, I give you the crown evidence: […]

Violent Acres:
“I’m sitting in a restaurant booth across from Mark when he suddenly turns somber.
‘V….’ he says to me, ‘I think I may be an alcoholic.’
I eye him suspiciously, ‘When did this happen?’
‘Probably college.’

As more and more companies realize that the gay market is lucrative and shopping commercials appear to target this segment of the population and although the results are mixed a lot of them are truly funny, touching, and effective. Here are the best I could find. What have I missed?
Guinness

Nissan

Virgin Atlantic

Dance?

Hyundai

I’m Straight

Absolut

Stonewall Columbus

Wow, there actually is a Gay Millionaire’s Club. I thought it was a spoof when I saw this commercial:

ShoeMoney is really a master of linkbait… George Bush - Great President Or Greatest President Ever?:
“I watched the state of the union last night and wow… amazing. Even Nancy Pelosi could not contain her admiration for the most powerful man in the world. Every time she stood up and clapped (as I think […]

Mark says that Lost the series will have a definitive ending that they will work up to in a few seasons:
Hopefully they’ll do a good job and not try to answer all the questions in the last 2 episodes. It’s going to be tough to satisfy people though - how do you explain […]

I think American Idol has turned past the point of being funny mean and towards just plain boring, small, stupid mean. Teletart says it best:
They’re the kids who stuck signs on your back. Who made fun of you for wearing the wrong label jeans. Who invited you to sit with them, then pulled your […]

Here is a good video over at Domain of the Bored showing how to edit a rectangular block of code in vim (for those times when you can’t use Textmate, of course).

Uh oh - My fine is $570. Soooo going to hell…. How much is your fine? Check it here!

Today my co-worker unveiled a Banana Guard at lunch today. Highly practical and guaranteed to make anyone who sees it smile. The best part is the tag line: “Protect your banana!”

I had no idea there were power skateboards until I read Steve Gehrman’s review of the E-Glide Powerboard. Faster than a Segway and only $500 these definitely look like fun.
You can watch it in action here:

The LG Prada phone is similar to the iPhone in that it’s a full touch-screen interface. As for how great or sucky the software is, it’s hard to tell….

Late Night Cocoa is a new podcast for experienced developers wanting to get into Apple OS X Cocoa development.

Andrew Sullivan has exactly the same reaction that I did to bringing and HTDTV into his house. I was sure that while a bigger tv would be nice for movies, I really couldn’t care less about HDTV. Now I can’t live without it!
I was a skeptic at first. We got the 46 […]

Who is to blame for death of Jennifer Strange?
Strange died suddenly after participating in a “Hold your Wee for Wii” contest sponsored by The End (KDND, 107.9FM) in Sacramento. The contestants chugged water and then had to see who could go the longest without going to the bathroom in order to win a Nintendo […]

Flickr Leech is an even better way to check out the Flickr Interestingness items without having to page thru dozens of separate clicks.

This is an interesting article explaining how the MySpace engineers tried various approaches to scale their infrastructure as the MySpace service grew relentlessly more popular:
“MySpace began splitting its user base into chunks of 1 million accounts and putting all the data keyed to those accounts in a separate instance of SQL Server. Today, MySpace actually […]
